Hi Dave,
This is in regard to Martha Milliken Bodine's page:
She's part of a family tree that I'm importing from Ancestry to WikiTree.com, so I set up a profile for her:
There are two sources that aren't yet in the rootstree page and thought you might be interested.
1. Her grave:
2. "The Davis family; a history of the descendants of William Davis, and his wife Mary Means" by Thomas Kirby Davis.
You can view the full text here:
or the scanned book:
:Mr. Davis married Martha Milliken Bodine in 1890. She was a daughter of Samuel T. Bodine and Louisa Milliken Bodine of Philadelphia. She died August 25, 1894. She was a noble, Christian woman.
Note that the birth year doesn't match what's on the grave, but since it's a year off it's probably a typo.
Omar
