Hello,
I believe that I am the great grand daughter of Grace Bodine who married Clint Coffing. He is listed as "Coffins" on your website, but is labeled in the 1923 Bodine Family Reunion picture as "Clint Coffing." If this is the correct couple, then they had one daughter, Reva Alice Coffing, born 1928, who is my grandmother. Thought this might help.
