Letter to Pauline Lichliter from J.R. Selz
subject: Selz, Schwab & Co. (Chicago Ill.)
subject: Strasburg Junction (Va)
subject: Lichliter Family
description: On June 1, 1915 J.R. Selz, of the Chicago-based Selz, Schwab & Co., sent this letter to Pauline Lichliter of Strasburg Virginia, notifying her that she had been awarded the coveted Morris Selz Liberty Bell Medal. Named for the Selz Company’s founder, Morris Selz, this award was given to students across the country who obtained the highest averages in their schools in specific subjects. While we are not sure what subject Pauline excelled in, her later career in newspapers, indicates it may have been in English. The Selz Company, founded in 1871, was a major shoe manufacturer and distribute in the mid-west. It would operate until 1929 when it closed as a result of the Great Depression. Pauline Lichliter would go on to have a distinguished career working for the Keister family and the Northern Virginia Daily, and later at the Presbyterian Church’s General Assembly Training School in Richmond, and various other educational organizations in the state. She died in Strasburg in 1972. Today her papers, and those of her family, are housed in the Truban Archives. They include hundreds of letters, photographs, postcards, and railroad items owned by her father who managed the Strasburg Junction for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
