Could it be that Myrtle had been to the US in 1921, see Myrtel
Her parents in 1910.
Her father emigrated in 1914.

Martinus J Kvamsdal, born 01.09.1902, is recorded as "pleiesøn" (fosterchild) in the 1910 census, see link above.
A farm Kvalhovda (Kvalhovde) may exist, see map.
Kvamsdalen (a place) in this map.
