Notes for: David ("Dave") Bodine

I believe David is found in the household of his maternal grandfather, Gottlieb Bodmer, on the 1880 Census of Orange, Essex Co., NJ. David is two years old. Marie Wright sent me this info.

I did have his name as David Lewis Bodine, but I think that Lewis might have come from the name of the county where he filed in his WWI draft card. I will take off the Lewis for now.

From Ronny Bodine:
