Erika, There should be a death certificate for your grandfather, if he died in 1962, and even funeral home records. I think Shackleford Funeral Home is the big funeral home in Savannah. It has been there for quite a while, I believe. I'd start there. Even if you find info about sawmills, there is unlikely to be much info on who worked there or when. The death record and the funeral home record can provide a wealth of info, if the family filled in all of the info.
