Guest list for a 1930 Bodine reunion held in Butlers Park New Jersey

Bodine Reunion Guestlist from 1930 in NJ

This is a list of people who attended a Bodine reunion held on August 9, 1930 in New Jersey. Dave Anderson's aunt, Dorothy (Borman) Johnson, attended this reunion when she was about nine years old. Dave asked her where it took place. Dotty thought it was held at Butlers Park near Washington, New Jersey. Earlier reunions had been held there or at Locktown Church, possibly in Croaton or a small town called Locktown. Dotty believed that John Bodine lived across from the church. (Dave Anderson is the son of Eric and Marion (Borman) Anderson. Marion was the daughter of Elmer and Beatrice (Bodine) Borman. I later corresponded with Mary (Johnson) Rhodes about the info on this page. Mary is Dorothy's daughter. She confirmed that it did take place at Butlers Park. She also said that her mother's list of who attended the reunion had a handwritten note on it saying that Mabel had typed it up. This is probably Mabel (Bodine) Snell, William Cramer Bodine's daughter.

I think most of these people are related to Jacob Bodine (1806-1867) and his wife Catherine Fauss (1806-1884). And many, if not all, seem to be related to Jacob's son, John H. Bodine (1832-1904) and his wife Clara Sine (b. 1833). There is a possiblity that some of the guests could be related to Jacob's siblings (if he had any), but that is still unclear. If this can be shown, it might help determine who Jacob's parents were. We still don't have any pictures of this reunion, but we're hopeful one will show up. If you know of any, please do contact me. There are also people still living who attended this event. If you know of anyone, do contact us so that we can try to get more details about it. I have made a table below which includes the names from the list above. I have also included some comments about the probable or possible ancestry of some of the guests. My appreciation to Jeff Perine for the guest list and some information about it. Jeffrey William Perine is the son of Kenneth Arthur Perine, the son of Laura Bodine Hammond, the daughter of Elsie Mae Bodine, the daughter of William Cramer Bodine, the son of John H. Bodine (and Clarissa Sine), who was the son of Jacob Bodine and Catherine Fauss. And my appreciation to Bridget Bodine, the great-grandaughter of A.B.C. Bodine. She has called around and spoken to some of the surviving Bodine descendants who attended this event (or their family). This has been a great help in trying to clear up who was who.
