The family moved from Wibaux, MT to the state of Washington for a short time before moving to a farm that Casper and Marie homesteaded in Thief River Falls, MN. Myrt graduated high school from Thief River Falls and also attended Interstate Business College. She met her future husband, Stanley Robison, at a dance in Thief River Falls and they were married on June 16, 1944; they were married for 71 years.

   Myrt and Stanley lived in various places around Minnesota before finally settling in Fargo and building their home in rural Harwood, ND. She worked most notably at Northwestern Savings & Loan in Fargo for 27 years before retiring in 1985. Myrt loved her flower gardens, vegetable gardens, canning, crocheting and later she picked up Rosemaling and would paint on odds and ends of wood, cream cans and even paint sticks.
