On 29 May 1952, Betty Lois Baker was wed to Robert Leonard Wells. They recently celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary! Congratulations, Bob and Betty!

Betty is our cousin through the Summers and Beavers progenitors of Grandmother Neva Kate Carmichael Johnson. Betty is the daughter of Iva Lois Pucket Baker, granddaughter of Alura Elizabeth "Lizzie" Summers Pucket, gr-granddaughter of William Franklin Summers, gr-gr-granddaughter of our common ancestors, Elias E. and Elizabeth Beavers Summers. Grandmother Johnson was daughter of Manora Alzada Summers Carmichael and granddaughter of Elias and Elizabeth Beavers Summers.

Wylie Pierson Johnson (Betty's 2nd cousin - once removed and our Uncle Wylie) recalls that Betty's grandmother, Lizzie Summers, and his mother, Neva Kate Johnson (our Grandmother Johnson), were close friends. Lizzie was raised by her grandparents (Elias and Elizabeth Summers who were also Neva Kate's grandparents). Lizzie's mother died in the same year that Lizzie was born.

Again, congratulations, Bob and Betty. May you have many more years to love and honor each other.
