Myrtle Glass married George "Purdy" Baker Oct.25, 1906 in Dawson, Kidder County, North Dakota. They had two children: Leona and Fredrick.
She and her father were murdered by her estranged husband, George Purdy (Baker).
MRS. MYRTLE BAKER
Mrs. Myrtle Baker, the second victim of the crime was born in Dawson on the 5th day of August, 1887. On October 25, 1906, she pledged her life to Geo. W. Baker, little knowing the sad step she was taking. Baker, a deep-dyed villain with a velvet tongue, had won her heart, and she cast her future in his care. But such is the irony of fate, and a sweet blossom was sacrificed to the ravages of an inhuman heart. The gentle and loving nature of the wife and mother was the development of a misguided maiden and to the last moments of her agonized existence she pleaded a wife's fidelity. After all her years of troubled married life, she was wiling for the sake of the little baby, to live out her life with Baker, but he cruel, hand of fate had marked a good and noble woman, and she passed to the great beyond. Repeated attempts had been made by her to live with him, but his debased nature finally drove her away from him, and thus the sad ending of a pure and devoted wife and mother.
