Notes for: Charles James Bodine
His obituary says this:
Death came suddenly and without warning to this well known Bergen farmer. He arose as usual early in the morning, ate a good breakfast and went to the barn to harness horses for the day's work in the harvest field when he was stricken and died a short time later.
Charles James Bodine was born near Flandreau, Moody County, South Dakota, July 27, 1880, later moving with his parents to Sanborn county in that state...
There is more in his obituary. It says that six children survived him, but it doesn't mention their names. There were four daughters and two sons.
