Narrative

Note: Researching Myrtle Thorne.

The index listings on the Dodge-Jefferson Counties Genealogical Society's website indicates her maiden name was Thorn.

ADDENDUM: Searches for an Iowa-born Myrtle Thorn turn up a Mytle Etta Thorne, b. 12 Apr 1888 in Deerfield Twp, Chickasaw Cty, Iowa to Wm. Levi and Sarah Ann (Astin) Thorne. This same family shows up in Whitewater, Walworth Cty, Wisconsin in the 1900 US and 1905 Wisconsin Census records. In 1910 a Myrtle E. Thorne appears as a boarder in the Chamberlain family household in Milwaukee, Milwaukee Cty, Wisconsin. This lines up fairly well as the likely identity of Otto Schoen's wife, as their first child was born approximately 1914 in Illinois, giving them plenty of time to marry and relocate prior to that. I've gone ahead and attributed to birthdate and source for that birth to the Myrtle in this family tree until I find information to suggest otherwise.
