Donna,
Another interesting twist....in the 1900 Iowa Census Myrtle Pixler is still living with Caroline Robey and her son Marshall but it shows her as a "servant"(?) andshe changed where she came from to IOWA, Father- Pennsylvania, Mother- Iowa....perhaps her "adopted family info".I looked up her married life( if I have the right family)and she was married and living with Harry Lewis in Jonesboro,Indiana in 1910 with Stella, William, Vergil, May.In 1920 she is still in Jonesboro with Harry head, William F Lewis, Virgil D Lewis and Mary Lewis. In 1930 she is divorced and living in Oklahome with Myrtle Lewis (head), Eden Jones (daughter?), Martha M Jones (grand daughter) and John G Jones (grandson), so Myrtle went back to Indiana and got married and stated everytime in the "Lewis" Family Groups that she was born in Indiana, father Indian, mother Indiana...must have given up on the Robey family once Catharine Burgess died???? I sure would have if I went from "adopted" to servant" !Just food for thought!
