Celestina Summers was the wife of Edwin Henry Sparks Summers and mother of Charles, Alec and Frank Summers. Her daughter, Eva, became Mrs. R.F. Forbes. 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.

Carl Smith notes that Celestina was 17 when she married Edwin Summers who was 27. Their wedding was on 24 November 1890 at the Roman Catholic Cathedral.
