Celestina Summers was the wife of Edwin Henry Sparks Summers and mother of Charles, Alec and Frank Summers. Her daughter became Mrs. R.F. Forbes. I don't know her maiden name. Celestina was "sponsor" at the baptisms of Leslie and Evelyn Warren, my uncle and aunt. Her father had worked as Assistant at the National Hotel after my great-grandfather John Olson retired.
