Notes for: Charles Buchanan Bodine

This family was said to be "of Rushville, Rush County, Indiana." A marriage date of "about 1849" was listed, but I would be wary of that.

From Ronny Bodine:

By 1856, Charles Bodine had located in Indiana and was living in Rush County by June 1860. He remained there for the rest of his life employed as a carpenter. In June 1900, his wife, Rebecka Bodine, age 74, was widowed and reported that she had borne 3 children, but only one was yet living. In April 1910, Rebecca Bodine, aged 84, lived in Rushville. Her widowed daughter Laura lived with her.

Obituary, The Daily Republican (Rushville, Ind.) of 16 May 1914.
Mrs. Rebecca Bodine, eighty-eight vears old, died shortly before midnight last night at her home, 427 West Third street. Mrs. Bodine had been in ill health for some time but had been in a serious condition only for about a week. Death was caused by apoplexy and a complication. Mrs. Bodine was a well known and highly respected woman. She was a member of the Christian church and was a faithful worker. She was the widow of the late Charles Bodine and was known to all her many friends as Aunt Rebecca. She was born in Bedford county, Pa., March 24, 1826. She is survived by one grandson, Charles Nolan, of Indianapolis. The funeral services will be conducted Sunday afternoon at one thirty o'clock at the late residence by the Rev. C. M.
