Notes for: Perry Alexander Bodine

I did have his death date as April 24, 1966, but info from Barbara Doty says it is April 4, 1965.

From Ronny Bodine:

In 1910, Perry Bodine, now widowed, was living with his 4-year old son Willis in Shelby County engaged in farming. In 1930, he worked as a railroad civil engineer in Temple, Bell County. Johnnie (Taylor) Bodine is the daughter of John and Nancy Porter (Winn) Taylor. She was buried in Old Liberty Hill Cemetery, San Augustine County. Perry and Anna Bodine were buried in Bellwood Memorial Park, Temple, Bell County.
