Old Pen Pal

Am looking for an Pen Pal that I had in High School. Enclosed is a small picture of her and address on the back is 525 E. Main St., Bellevue, Ohio. We wrote back & forth in our teens and then graduating, getting married, you kinda lose touch. I have gotten a couple bits of info from your site. Thanks! The picture is dated 1954.

Is the address hand-written? Or is it stamped, i.e., perhaps the photographer's address?

Marian Seibel, 50, 525 E. Main St., Bellevue...attempted to steal a ladies' nightgown...valued at $1.59.

Perhaps this was/these are a relative/relatives of Dixie's?

I'll keep looking....

I have no idea, I don't recall her last name at all. The address on the back and date was hand written. I remember her talking about Cuyahoga Falls.

I believe this could be her. The name doesn't sound familiar, but 1940 would be about right. I was born 8 days shy od 1940, so we would be the same age. Thanks a million!!
