Notes
General:
Myrtie Bell Darrow was born in Detroit on July 2, 1881 and died there on March 19, 1954. She married Robert Roscoe Champlin sometime around 1898. According to the April 1910 U. S. Census she said she was 29 years old and had been married twelve years. She was therefore probably married in 1898. They had two children, Robert Claire, born May 12, 1899 and Gladys Elaine, born February 14, 1901. By 1910 Myrtie was either separated or divorced from Robert. Sometime after 1920 she married Tom Clemens who was a teacher at Northern High School in Detroit. He died sometime in the early 1930's.
Myrtie did not have an easy life during the time between marriages. For a period of time she and her two children, lived with her in-laws, although Robert Roscoe was not living with them at the time. City directories list at least three addresses for Myrtie from 1906 to 1912. Later in this period she owned a boarding house but we believe that she raised her children, Robert and Gladys as tenants in boarding houses owned by others. Myrtie may also have had one or two additional husbands between Robert and Tom.
Robert Roscoe Champlin continued to live in Detroit and worked all his life for the Detroit Water Department. Several members of the family, with the exception of Myrtie, had occasional contact with R.R. until the time of his death.
Later, Myrtie worked for many years at the J. L Hudson department store, retiring around five years before her death. She was a very handsome woman, who was always very dignified; could thoroughly enjoy a good party, but might rather abruptly withdraw from sociability.
Myrtie had a younger sister, Florence who married Gerald Sample and they had three daughters and a son. Two of the daughters and the son are known to be dead . The third daughter, Barbara McClellan is living in Oak Park, Michigan.
We know that Myrtie was a close relative of Clarence Seward Darrow. Supposedly he was her uncle, but we have not yet been able to document this relationship. It is possible that they were first cousins, once removed. 38
