Glyna married Rollie Roscoe Sumner in Jan., 1910 in Greene Co., IN. She was the daughter of Calvin Sylvester (Ves) Bedwell and Cora Belle Steele Bedwell. Glyna (Gly) and Rollie had the following children: Violet Marie, Harry Roscoe, Floyd Jackson, Norma Jean, Richard Eugene, Vera Esther(or Ester), Dorthy M., and Norma Ruth. Glyna was a WONDERFUL person who gave ALL the members of her family unconditional love! Her grandchildren have been passing the legend of her down to their children and grandchildren and she will always be alive in their hearts! She had the most wonderful, loving qualities, and it's been said that her mother had been the same.

Glyna was my grandma. When she was a child she blinded herself in one eye due to an accident with scissors. She always watched her grandchildren very carefully and cautioned them when they were using scissors. I didn't understand the reason until I learned of this accident. Of course, grandma's one eye looked different from her other but as a child loving her grandmother as much as I have she still looked beautiful to me. I believe she looked beautiful to her entire family.

Grandma was always a big influence in my life for many reasons. She used to make certain food items for her grandchildren. For me she made potato soup and peach cobbler because she knew how much I loved them. She made rubarb pie for my brother because he loved them. I don't know what she made for the rest of her grandchildren. I remember one time in particular my grandma had made a peach cobbler. She cut a piece for me and when I started eating it, it didn't taste good. Grandma had forgotten to put sugar in the pie. Of course I told my grandma it was delicious. Later my grandma had a piece and then asked me why I didn't tell her that it didn't have sugar in it. I replied, "oh, no, grandma, I wouldn't tell you that". I would have never said anything to her about it. After all, she made it specifically because I loved her peach cobblers. How could I tell her it wasn't perfect. In my mind it was perfect because it was made with love.

Glyna has been proven to be a 2nd greatgranddaughter of a Revolutionary War soldier (Robert Thomas Bedwell, born 1759, Delaware - died 1842, Sullivan Co., IN. Robert is buried in Moody Cemetery, Sullivan County, IN., and is listed on findagrave).
