Poetic Obituaries: Myrtle [Lydia Abbott] was the youngest

of the 13 children born to John and Lydia Forsythe, she entered the world on Oct. 10, 1913 in Dugdale, Minn. Times were rough for her pioneer family as they struggled to survive on their small farm through the harsh Minnesota winters. She especially loved high school where she learned German, studied poetry, and participated in competitive girls' basketball.
