Mary Alice Lewis (04/11/1868 - 11/04/1945)

The proposed relationship of Mary Alice Lewis as the mother of LaVonne Myrtle Bell and Eva Blanche Bell is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 1st cousin, once removed relationship between MM (a descendant of the Eva Blanche Bell ancestral line) and RM (a descendant of the LaVonne Myrtle Bell ancestral line) with a shared segment of 392.81 cM across 16 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
