Resource Number: 5BL 11290 Temporary Resource Number: 157508434004 Mabel Sandy Sahm and Auncy Sandy Venette, sisters, moved to Louisville in 1920 at the ages of 14 and about 19, respectively. Their parents lived at 913 La Farge (5BL11285) in Jefferson Place, and more can be found about the Sandy family in the report for that address. More information about Mabel Sandy Sahm can be found in the report for 613 Jefferson. Auncy Sandy Venette, who was born in 1901, died in 1986. In 1990, John Venette sold the property to Paul Sprague. Another later owner was Juliette Sizer, and the current owner is Kreutzman Construction. As the evidence suggests that this house at 615 Jefferson was likely constructed in ca. 1965, it is not believed that there was ever a different address for it under Louisville's old address system. 36.
