Marjorie Rhodes Seeks Missing Mother in Beckley
Thirteen year old Marjorie Rhodes, who canvassed Beckley’s Beckley area yesterday seeking her mother, was offered a home by Mrs. Bowman of Glen Daniel after her efforts failed. She hitchhiked from Falling Rock, believed in Clay county, and has not seen her mother for five to six years. Marjorie stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Meadows at 32 North Heber Street. Her father left when she was two and she has lived with her grandmother since. She is about five feet six, blue eyes, a dimpled chin, and tan.
