Gary, I read with interest your comment about the postcard from Louisville, OH. I live in Louisville. We do have an Edwards St. There is a book out about the history of Louisville if you are interested. It is written by a history teacher from Louisville. It is called, "Louisville - The Way it Was 1834 - 1975 written by Kenneth R. Smith.
