I didn't find any newspaper records for 1914-1915 for Washington.
At age 14 he was living with his sister and brother-in-law in 1910. In 1920 he is in Alaska on an adventure with his older brothers Charles, Clinton & William This information I gathered from all their census records.
1930 census record show him as an Inmate in the San Francisco Jail.
1936 he is back in prison
He was an adventurer and world traveler, he went to Hong Kong & China from Canada in 1928, He went to Japan in 1934. I wonder if his forging was money used for these trips. Just a thought I was thinking out loud. 1931 he went to Hawaii, He was listed on a couple as a crew member.
Myron A McCourt died 16 May 1973 in Tacoma, WA. I never found him to be married.
There are several trees on Ancestry along with the one I made. Some have his Washington State Prison record which is labeled wrong they have it as McNeil Island.I left a comment with a correction. No newspaper clippings or his California conventions and the actual McNeil records. I have everything attached to the tree I made they should come up as hints and I also add my blog link so they will have this story as well.
Myron lost his mother at an early age, maybe he felt that it was his fault or he was just lost without her.
