A quick search of whitepages.com and I found four Fred Yosts in Pennsylvania. One of them might be him, or know of him. I wonder how hard they actually searched the internet for the guy.

From the article: “Sometimes pieces of mail do get lost behind equipment or transporting equipment. ... It is infrequent, but every once in a blue moon, it does happen,” Kelley said. “No matter how old it is, we will deliver it.”

I can see it now... Stuck behind some machine for 53 years, along with dust bunnies the size of horses. Don't those guys ever clean up around stuff? Or worse yet, what piece of equpiment at the post office is still in service after 53 years?

Did they deliver it "postage due"?

No, because it was stamped and postmarked in 1954. Delivery was already paid for.
