History by daughter, Barbara Ann Carmon
In June of 1942, Myrtle, gave birth to her child, Barbara Ann Harrington. Her husband, Milton Douglas Harrington, whom she married in 1940, was called to serve in World War II, and Myrtle lived with her parents Leo and Eva during this time. She also went to Michigan with others from Camp Woo to work in an Airplane factory during WWII leaving Barbara Ann with her parents. Sometime in 1944/45, Myrtle bought the Blue Bonnet Cafe in downtown Camp Wood and her second child, Douglas Harrington, was born while she and her father owned this property.
Milton went AWOL from the Air Force in Arizona where he was training to fly into combat in the Pacific Theater; he later told Myrtle that he had a vision in which he died during the battle and that it made him afraid to go to battle. His right wing comrad did die in the battle Milton was supposed to have fought in with him. Milton and Myrtle divorced on April 1, 1946 and Myrtle married W.W. Barker and sold the cafe in Camp Wood.
She and W. W. went to Rocksprings Texas to run a dairy farm. W. W. and Myrtle quickly decided milking cows and delivering milk for a living was very hard work, and decided they would go to Miame Arizona to work in the mines but that did not work out either. They came back to Camp Wood when Myrtle became pregnant with her third child, Christine Barker who was born in 1949.
After Christine was born, they went to West Texas to work in the oil fields and W. W. spent over 30 years working for several different companies including Shell and Texaco. Myrtle and her husband, W.W. Barker, were living in Notrees, Texas when their last daughter was born, Cherri Sue (1953). They moved from there to Andrews Texas and then on to Artesia NM. When W. W. retired in 1980, they moved back to Camp Wood and were living there when Myrtle passed away in 1985. W. W. died in 1993. They are both buried in the Leo Lacey family plot in the Barksdale Cemetery in Edwards County Texas.
