Looks like they married around 1920.
So, then I found George's WWII draft card (1942):
George Abbott Sanderson, living at 799 Brook Rd., Milton, Norfolk, Mass., b. 10 Jan 1893 Waterford, Maine.; wife Priscilla W. Sanderson; employer - Sanborn Co, 39 Osborne St., Cambridge, Mass.
On his WWI draft card (1917) it shows the same birth information; living in Mechanic Falls, Maine; occ- electrician.
So, with that information I was able to backtrack pretty easily.Here he is in Mechanic Falls in 1920:
