I may have already told you this...but my mother Gladys Bland was born in Jackson, Mississippi. They were cotton farmers before a big storm wiped out their crops, and that's when they all relocated to Sparta, Ohio (just north of Columbus).Anyway, Otis and Beatrice had four daughters together.. Gladys, Jean, Waneda, and Lois. They all live in the general area noth of Columbus.I think Otis had a daughter in a prior marriage, but I never met her.
