    I wonder if Myrtle Alexander (previous card) married a cousin... Another set of mystery initials... LSR... hmmm... and Charlie...

    Yes, and Wooster instead of Worster. Puzzling.

    I suspect she is not married and still Myrtle Alexander (the card says "Miss") but that the sender thought she was a Worster/Woorter (or perhaps she was formally adopted) and just mispelled it.

    Myrtle's "step-father's" first wife's last name was Rupert. I think LSR might be another "step-cousin".
