I am not sure of the address or street mentioned below. There is a Marquette St. in Albuquerque, New Mexico, so perhaps this is where Hazel went to bear children (for Arnold and Dolly — Leonard arrived unexpectedly early while there were still in Bluewater) or else her family lived there before she married. 215 North Edith may also be in Albuquerque, too, though it is now an empty lot, so maybe the old house was torn down after 1947.
Some language has changed in the past 70 years: Hazel says French fried potatoes rather than the current phrase French fries. And she writes motion picture camera, where we would now say movie camera. The trend is toward shorter expressions.
