She was married to Emanuel Edward Shanks (b. 5-10-1877 d. 1966). They lived in Poplar Grove, Pike County Ohio and were married in Adams County 12-23-1897. They are both buried at Mt. Zion Cemetery at Poplar Grove. She went by the name of Myrtle and her mother's name was Mollie. I have heard but not confirmed that her mother's maiden name was Davidson and that at some point she married a Hilterbran and then a Riley. The spelling for Hilterbran could very well be wrong as I don't have any confirmation except a marriage licence application that is very hard to read. I have no idea who her father was or what happened to him. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Venus Jones vjones4@woh.rr.com
