- "When Aunt Ora visited Mama - May, 1989 she recounted to Yvonne & I how she & her husband Harry Bayliss (Brother Bayliss, he was called) drove Mama in their Studebaker to marry Daddy in Lafayette. She told how she tried to persuade her father that Mama was too young to marry (14 years old) but nevertheless they married. The wedding reception was at Papit & Mamit's place in Anse La Butte. Aunt Ora said it was quite an event. She also said when they got to church, a bunch of Mama's school friends were there to attend the wedding at St. Genieve's Catholic Church, Lafayette, La. While cleaning after her death in 1989, I found the top of her wedding cake with cake still on it & 2 glasses with initial S on them. I fixed it in a dome & Yvonne has it as well as her wedding dress - Clarissa married in it." (Olive Sonnier Pitre's family history book)
