Notes for: Charles W. Bodine
From Ronny Bodine:
From Oklahoma County, Oklahoma Marriage Records:
Charlie W. Bodine, 31, of Pittsfield, Ill. AND Ester Murlin, 22, of Blackwell, Okla. were married 22 Sept 1908 in Oklahoma City by Sam Hooker, Judge of the County Court.
In 1900, Charles Bodine, 29 and single, lived in Oshkosh, Winnebago County, Wisconsin, in the home of his brother-in-law and sister, Edward and Mallie Renoud, employed as a laborer. In 1910, he lived in Davenport, Scott County, Iowa working as a cafe waiter. He reported this was his 1st marriage, and that in 2 years of marriage his wife had borne 1 child, their son Paul, living with them. In 1920, John Bodine, age 49 and single, lived in the home of his sister and brother-in-law, Anna and Christopher Fisher. John worked as a clerk in his sister's restaurant. It appears that John was named when Charles was intended, as the real John was 5 years older and living in Wisconsin at this time. It appears that John and Esther Bodine had divorced, as by Jan 1920, Esther Jones lived with her sons Paul and Charles in Cherokee, Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. She reported she was married, but her husband was not included in the family. In April 1930, she still lived in Cherokee with her sons Paul and Charles, but now with another son, Dean L. Jones, age 9. Although saying she was married, her husband was not living with his family. Charles Bodine was buried in Pittsfield Cemetery, Pittsfield, Pike County.

Deceased Name: JONES Dean L. Jones
JONES Dean L. Jones, age 90, of Jefferson City, Mo., left his world on Thursday, June 16, 2011. He was born on February 14, 1921, to David Jonathan Jones and Esther (Murlin) Jones in Cherokee, Oklahoma. He was married on September 29, 1946, to Beverly Harden, who preceded him in death in 1994. Prior to World War II, he served with an artillery battery in the Oklahoma National Guard. Upon the declaration of war, he joined the Army Air Corps and served as a ground crew chief in England and France with the 642nd Squadron under the 409th Bombardment Group (Light) with the 9th Air Force. He was awarded the Bronze Star. After being honorably discharged, he was employed as a meat cutter in Waynoka, Oklahoma. His long-term hearing loss made it difficult for him to serve his customers and to hear his newborn daughter. At the urging of his wife, Dean obtained a Beltone Hearing Aid that subsequently changed his life. Shortly thereafter he took a position as a Beltone Hearing Aid field representative and did very well. He and Beverly moved to Jefferson City in 1956, to start their own Beltone practice, Beltone Hearing Service (now known as Jones Beltone Hearing Center). Together they built it into a highly successful practice that is now operated by their two sons. He earned several awards from Beltone over the years, including the President's Cup for the Outstanding North American Dealer in 1976. Dean took great pleasure in time with family, Big Band Era music, fishing, evenings at the Eagles Club, and Cardinals Baseball. In his later years, he developed a close friendship with Cay Harden of Oakley, Kansas. Survivors include: his children, Missy Frink (Sam) of Hermann, Mo., David Jones (Maggie) of Hallsville, Mo., and Jim Jones (Diane) of Jefferson City, Mo.; six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by three half brothers, Paul, Kenneth, and Charles Bodine; and one daughter, Rebecca Jones.
