Notes for: Frederick Augustus Bodine

I am guessing that this Frederick A. Bodine is the same one who married Henrietta Dorsett. See her Notes page. For one thing, she is buried in the same cemetery as her probable husband's relatives.

There is an F. A. Bodine and Nett Bodine in the 1880 Census of Richmond Twp., Tioga Co., who I think must be this couple. He was 36, PA, NY, PA. She was 23, PA, NY, PA. This is surprising since Frederick's father was supposedly born in PA. It might just be a mistake.

From Ronny Bodine (Sept. 13, 2020):

The Mansfied Advertiser of 26 March 1879 reported: "Married Augustus F. Bodine & Miss Henrietta K. Dorsett of Mansfield at same March 20. Rev. H. Moyer."

Frederick and Henrietta Bodine were buried in Prospect Cemetery, Tioga County. In 1900, Frederick A. Bodine, age 55, was a patient in the Asylum for the Chronic Insane of Pennsylvania in Berks County.
