Notes for: Alice Maud Bodine
From Ronny Bodine:
From St. Joseph County, Indiana Marriage Records:
William Easterday AND Alice Bodine were married 16 Oct 1870.
Alice M. Bodine, age 18, was living 1870 with her parents in Liberty, St. Joseph County, Indiana. In 1880, William and Alice Easterday lived in Polk Township, Marshall County, Indiana engaged in farming. In 1900, the family lived in Marion Township, Polk County, Missouri. The couple reported that in 31 years of marriage Alice had borne 7 children of whom 5 were then living. In 1910, William and Alice lived in Branson, Taney County, Missouri where William owned and operated his own butcher shop and 1920 in Jasper Township, Taney County now engaged again in farming.
1930 Branson, Taney Co., MO: BOYLES, Maud A. 54 IN cook-restaurant, William B. EASTERDAY 83 OH father, Alice M. 79 OH mother.

EASTERDAY ALICE M. 1851---1933 WM B. 1847---1933
Note: Since the death of Alice Easterday was recorded by her death certificate as 26 Jan 1934 and her husband was still living, clearly their grave marker was installed at a later date to incorrectly record the year of their death as 1933. By the time of his death William was at least 85 and it seems unlikely he travelled about, but his death was not recorded in Missouri and was either just not recorded or he did indeed travel out of state and there died.
Children: George W. (Nov 1871), Maud (c1876), William (c1878), Curtis (April 1880), Bessie (Aug 1882).
