Notes for: Thomas ("Tom") Alvin Bodine, Sr.

Some basic information came from Janna Mayfield at jsm1 at ix.netcom.com.

I did have that he was born in Bethpage, TN, but his WWI registration says Chipman. That is a small community near Bethpage; so we will go with that.

From Ronny Bodine:

Thomas Alvin Bodine registered for the World War I draft on 5 June 1917 in Gray County. He stated he was born 24 Dec 1895 in Chipman, Tenn and was married with two children. In 1942, as a resident of Portsmouth, Norfolk County, Virginia, he registered for the World War II stating he was born 24 Dec 1893 in Bethpage, Tenn. and was now employed in the Norfolk Navy Yard. He was buried in Dudley Cemetery, Satanta, Haskell County, Kansas. In 1920-1930, the Bodine family lived in Tucumcari, Quay County, New Mexico. In 1920, Tom was employed as a garage mechanic.
