So the Deanes were in Minnesota...the Myrtle Sanders in Minnesota could very well be one in the same and witnessed that brutal murder....anyway to verify or clarify?

Update:
So I have been able to confirm the Myrtle Sanders involved in love triangle murder in 1923 is not my Myrtle.

However we did find another Myrtle that was on the 1920 census listed as a foster daughter...this could actually be my minnesota connection.

It was also made clear that her mothers maiden name is McClure from CA.

I think Myrtle was a bit of a trouble maker and was sent to foster families.

It also appears the Deane's raised Flora saying her mother was her sister....

Thats what I currently have
Thanks everyone...

PS anyone been able to find or figure out if Flora ever had children? So far I cant find anyone.

Thanks again
