Where the Sauders lived

Each pin is on its own block, numbered as the households below. One address isn't on today's map, so it has no pin. Today's land, parks, main roads and local areas: City of Vancouver Open Data (Open Government Licence – Vancouver).

What they did

The name section prints a trade for twelve of the 14: a saleswoman (2), a stenographer (2), a bookkeeper, a bus boy, an employee and a kiln piler, among others. Some worked for the same employer: three for E L Sauder Lumber and two for BC Electric Railway.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Riley Park (2), South Cambie (2), Grandview-Woodland and Kerrisdale. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists H Sauder at 640 East 23rd Avenue; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark). The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Harvey Sauder there as the householder, who worked for the BC Telephone. In 1940 the directory lists M Sauder at 2243 East 6th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Melvin Sauder there as the householder, a sub foreman at the BC Electric Railway, with Jean L Sauder, a stenographer at the BC Electric Railway, and Nora E Sauder, a stenographer.

In 1940 the directory lists E L Sauder at 5836 Marguerite Street; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Elton L Sauder there as the householder, a president at E L Sauder Lumber. The 1940 name section lists Philip Sauder at 5152 Prince Edward Street as the householder, with Ewald Sauder, a bus boy.

H A Sauder is listed at 620 West 18th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Herbert A Sauder there as the householder, a bookkeeper at E L Sauder Lumber. W L Sauder is listed at 653 West 18th Avenue in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists William L Sauder there as the householder, retired, with Dorothy Sauder, a saleswoman at Woolworths, Doug Sauder, a kiln piler at Masterbuilt Doors, Evelyn Sauder, a saleswoman, Marion E M Sauder, a school teacher, and Reginald V Sauder, a yardman at E L Sauder Lumber.

Today

2243 East 6th, 5152 Prince Edward and 620 West 18th still have their buildings from before 1946; 640 East 23rd (1992) and 653 West 18th (1987) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 5836 Marguerite, so that building is probably gone (inferred).

Sources

Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under S. Want a name removed? Tell us.
