A Piece Of Winona Lake History Discovered 75 Years Later

WINONA LAKE - When identical twin sisters Eunice and Lois Marburger, then of Logansport, received this postcard from their friend Lenora in the late 1920s, they probably had no idea that they would visit Winona Lake, let alone that Eunice would eventually buy a summer cottage here. On the reverse side of the postcard, Lenora wrote: "Hello, Girls, Don't you think this would make a nice place to go bathing?" It was signed Lenora and mailed Aug.29, at 1:30 p.m.; however, we couldn't read (or find) a year in the postmark.The green 1-cent stamp contained a picture of Benjamin Franklin.
