Sunday Dinner at the Bunny Lee Restaurant

The Bunny Lee Restaurant was a short lived restaurant at the corner of East Street and Bi-State Blvd in Delmar, Maryland.  It operated in 1940.  Unsure who was named Bunny Lee but the main person named in running the restaurant was Pauline Wilma Malcom Bartlett (1913-1957).  Pauline used a number of variations of her name through out her short life time so she may have been Bunny Lee.  Pauline was born in Kentucky to Edward Vernon Malcom and Ida Hill Malcom.   The family would move to the Eastern Shore and Pauline was raised here.  She would marry young to Joseph R Bartlett who was 36 years her senior and a railroad conductor.  She would divorce him and marry Warden O. Denson, she would divorce him and marry Lewis A. Waller (a railroad clerk).  She would attempt a number of restaurants/ sandwich shops.  When she died in 1957, at the age of 44, she had "Paula Sandwich Shop" in Laurel, Delaware.
