I have come across this person before and have ruled him out.Otis M. Meacham was born 12 Apr 1896 (he would have been 33 or 34 during the 1930 census.He was first married 26 Dec 1916 at the age of 20.This record for O.M Meacham has these ages at 31 and married at 17. The three Mississippis is correct. I very much appreciate you checking into this.I had heard he was living in Atlanta in 1929. I'm going to "Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness" (a great website) and see if anyone will look through the 1929 papers in Ripley, TN to find an obituary for his mother who died there. Her name was Mamie Lee Meacham. I'm hoping it might mention the children, but I don't think they listed much in those days.Again, thanks so much.Bruce Wolcott
