Hi Dave:
...
About the only other thing I can add is from the Parker-Willett bible, in which a notation was made that Nellie Eva Bodine, Lewis Paxon Bodine's first wife, died April 14, 1919, Sometime after that, Lewis married a "Tillie" or Matilda.
In answer to your earlier question, when I went back into the early census records on Ancestry.com, it shows Hannah Shadinger being born in PA.
Keep in touch !
Best wishes, Walt B

When I look up Hannah Shadinger, it comes up Shaddinger, born 1849, orig. from Plumstead, Bucks County.
Continued best wishes, Walt B

Here is something that was sent to me from the card files at the Hunterdon County Historical Society:
Bodine Reunion 1909 at Island Park, near Easton, Pa. through the efforts of J. V. Bodine.
Those present were: Jane Bodine, Miss Carrie Bodine, Miss Lucy Bodine (Sandy Ridge ), Mrs. Lewis Bodine of Englishtown, Mr. & Mrs Walt Bodine of Philadelphia, Mr. & Mrs. Howard Bodine -- Gradnson of Howard Bodine, Trenton, NJ.
Note: These people may be related to Charles W. Bodine (husband of Hannah Shadinger). The Howard Bodine may be his son. If so, this tells me that Howard would be the grandson of William H. Bodine and that the "H" stands for "Howard." This is only a guess however. Here are my guesses as to who else was there: Mr & Mrs Walt Bodine could be Charles "W." Bodine (husband of H. Shadinger). Maybe the "W" stands for "Walter." Mrs. Lewis Bodine is the wife of Charles's son, Lewis. Carrie and Jane would be daughters of William H. Bodine. I'm not sure who Lucy or J. V. Bodine are.
From Ronny Bodine:
Lewis Bodine and his family lived 1900 in Lambertville, Hunterdon County where he was employed as a bank teller. He reported that in 7 years of marriage his wife, Eva, had borne 2 children, both then living. Matilda Akers was the daughter of Ferdinand and Mary G. Akers.
