Marriages Today - May 20

Today is the anniversary of several marriages in our family genealogy. Jay Andrew Bell and Lillian Margaret Williams, who was my great great aunt, were married in 1903. Frank Kermitt Laster and JoAnn Patton, who is Larry's aunt, were married in 1946. Dr. Earl Goudy and Alice V. Edwards, who was my great great aunt, were married in 1947 when Alice was 49. This was her second marriage. She was the author of several children's books, published by Scribner, two of which were runners-up for the Caldecott award. Lastly in 1972 Larry's cousin Glen Sander and his wife Mary Rethman were married.
