My grandmother was born in 13 Feb. 1892 Sadie QUATERMAN then married my grandfather SANDERS 12 October, 1913. She owned a boarding house in Savannah. Can you tell me anything about it? Where is was or anything. I know she sold it around 1923. I think, I have heard stories she was a boarder first, but I do know that she did have the boarding house somewhere near the train depot, because my dad told me when he was a boy he sold cookies and plants at the train station. Thank you for your help.
