Myrtle died October 25, 1974, at the age of (83), and buried in the Maple Grove cemetery at Brookville, Franklin County Indiana. Loren and Myrtle lived a simple God loving life typical of many Hoosiers. Active members at the Methodist church in the nearby village of Blooming Grove. They saw the invention of the automobile, telephone and the television. The depression of 1929 hit hard for most people but the McWhorter's had food on the table but little money. Myrtle's spare time dedicated to the maintenance of her little "chicken house". This enterprise provided both cash and food to supplement the family until harvest time. Recreation consisted of family get-together on the weekend to enjoy Myrtle's home cooking and discuss the progress of the crops and the health and well being of the livestock with politics mixed in for lively debate. The seven-mile Saturday trek to the county seat at Brookville to pay bills, catch up on gossip, ice cream at the Rexall drug store "soda fountain", and occasionally a movie at the "Moron Theatre". Loren's Pontiac never saw the speedometer exceed 45 mph and smelled of cigar smoke, a treat he enjoyed only while driving. ____________________________________________________________ Myrtle Mae Swift married Loren McWhorter, January 10, 1914, and had 2 children; 1.Clayton Eugene McWhorter 2.Wilma Leon (McWhorter) Banks __________________________________________________________ Compiled/transcribed/formatted by Dennis W.
