Hello All,
The humor that I used recently with genealogists was to point out
the buildings called "Womens Boarding House" on a sanborn map of a town in
Arizona. It does not take much imagination to figure out what a woman's
boarding house was in the 1870s and 1880s. I did get some snickers from the
group, too. Linda Zellmer
