Detailed History
Mattiel Carter began taking in boarders at her house called Shady Rest in Shadyside in southern Anne Arundel County in the late 1920s. She was one of 7 or 8 local residents who advertised for boarders during the summer. The Afro-American's social columns describe most of the guests as teachers from Baltimore and some professors from Morgan State College (now University). Mrs. Carter's husband, James Carter, was the Morgan State College Secretary for a number of years.
