b. NOVEMBER 9, 1881-d. MAY 8, 1958 Aunt Myrtle was born in 1881. She was raised by Henry and Edna (sister to Ira). She was married in their home (3 miles west of Bancroft, MI) May 18, 1904. When I remember Aunt Myrtle and Ed Kirker. they lived on a farm 4 miles north and a mile and one half west of Holt, MI. We girls spent at least a week each summer attheir home playing with their only child, Marguerite, and picking cherries. Sometimes Marguerite would drive their horse and buggy to town for groceries and a treat. We had lots of fun because Marguerite was always conjuring up fun things to do like "make-up" games, playing in the horse tank, gagging a cat, etc. etc. We often giggled into the wee night hours. This brought Aunt Myrtle to our bedroom with threats that she never carried out. Also it caused Merva to be very unhappy because she would rather sleep than giggle. Marguerite and I always created our own giggle spells. She went to Michigan State College and married Harold Throup before she had a career. Aunt Myrtle, much to her own unhappiness, never became a grandmother, because Marguerite decided she never wanted children. After Aunt Myrtle and Uncle Ed died, the Throup's turned the homestead into a convalescent home-a very sophisticated one called "The Holt Home". Before the Throup's died they sold it to, I think, a Reformed Church. It still is a home for older people. Aunt Myrtle was a good Presbyterian, a Sunday School teacher and active in community affairs. She was on her way to one of these activities, stopped at a stoplight when she came to the highway and, not seeing the coming car drove right into it. The impact threw her from the driver's seat onto the highway (no seatbelts then) and her neck was broken. I missed her, she was my favorite aunt. |
