The family later moved to Jackson, Minnesota where she grew up and received her education. During her teenage years, Myrtle cleaned homes. On August 19, 1937, she was married to Roy Edwin Caskey. They made their home near Mountain Lake until 1940 when they moved to the Raymond area. In 1972, they moved to Lake Andrew when they attended Crossroads Community Church near Spicer. Myrtle worked as a nurses aide at Bethesda for over 17 years. She also assisted with farm duties, painted and hung wallpaper for many folks and kept the books for Roy’s field drainage business. Myrtle and Roy spent many winters down in Texas and enjoyed being close to family.
