Notes for: Edna Mae ("Birdie") Bodine
From Ronny Bodine:
From Kaufman County, Texas Marriage Records:
Clarence Hearne AND Birdie Bodine were married 10 Feb 1923.
Clarence and Birdie Hearn lived 1930 in Dallas, Dallas County where Clarence worked as a huckster.
Because as an adult she began using her nickname exclusively, the trail through census records etc. becomes convoluted. Beginning with the 1930 census, she is listed as Birdie Bodine Hearn. She acquired the nickname Birdie from her father because she would stand on the storm cellar and flap her wings like a bird.
