Sophenia and Clarence

Sophenia and Clarence were a wonderful couple and a great love story. Together they had five boys and two adopted daughters. They were faithful members of the church and worked diligently to spread the good news about Jesus Christ and his love.

These photos are from when their love story was just beginning. What a beautiful young lady and handsome young man! Take a look at the way they were in their youth!

Here are the five Baker daughters with their husbands:
Charles and Calell; Clarence and Sophenia; Mary Janice and R.L.; (I've got to look up the rest of them to be sure...)
These folks may be Clarence's relatives but the photo was not labeled.
This one was not labeled either but it looked like they were having a lot of fun!

 Mama Mary as I knew her.  What a sweet, Christian lady!

Time passes and memories fade.  I think it is appropriate that from time to time we refresh our memories with the old photographs.  These wonderful people paved the way for our generation and those to come!  We do remember and appreciate all you did!!!
