Notes for: Lydia A. Bodine
From Ronny Bodine:
Lydia Bodine, age 20 and single, was living with her parents 1880 in Bordentown, Burlington County. In 1900, Lydia Appleget, age 40, married 20 years and having borne one child, then living, was living in Mercer County and working in East Windsor as a waitress. She must have been divorced from her husband early on as Howard Appleget lived in Princeton, Mercer County with his wife Jessie to whom he had been married 16 years. In 1910, she was living in East Windsor, working in a mill. She reported she was still married, but her only child was now deceased. The Trenton Evening Times of 26 July 1927 reported the death of Howard W. Appleget following a lengthy illness.
