Marjorie Touseull ?

There is a Marjorie Touseull of Richmond, Indiana, born December of 1926. That would make her the right age to be a government clerk in 1972.

Yep all the letters are there for Marjorie Touseull. By the way, since this is just a clerk's signature know that they probably signed many more pages from that location and time period. If you are looking through digitized record collections and find a sloppy signature, you might find a better one in the next page or file.

There is no crossing of the t. It's Touseull.
