A hundred years ago, Marie Lohre was named the most beautiful girl at the Real American celebration in Seattle Washington, as shown here in the June 16, 1924 issue of the Washington Evening Star.   The festival was apparently named after the Native American Newspaper of the same name, as Miss Lohre was featured as the previous year’s queen in the March 6, 1925, issue of the paper, pictured at left.

According to both sources, Miss Lohre was a member of the Quinault nation, and she was a student at some unnamed Indian high school.

We found no more information about her. Occasionally, people Google the names of their ancestors. We always appreciate hearing from the descendants of people we feature here, to follow up on these images from the past.
