Notes for: Naphtali ("Nap") Bodine
Information on this family came from Donald and Betty Roach of Pine Valley, Utah. They may have been carriage makers in Ohio. This is mentioned in a history of the area. There is a Naphtali Bodine who enlisted for the Union in Ohio on November 1, 1861. He was 21. He served three years and was mustered out on November 9, 1864 from Vining Station, Georgia at the expiration of his service. He was in Company C of the 54th Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry.

Dear Dave:
I appreciate all the work you have done on the Bodine genealogy website. I am writing to see if you have any information that may connect my ggrandmother Inez Bodine to your resarch. I suspect she was the dau. of Napthali and Emily (STEWART/STEWARD) BODINE.
Below is a listing of some details of Inez. Do you have any information that would confirm this connection? If we can make the link, hopefully with primary sources, then I have more information on the descendants of Inez BODINE.
Sincerely,
Douglas Duncan Meredith

From Ronny Bodine (Sep. 8, 2020):
During the Civil War, Naphtali Bodine served as a Private with Company C, 54th Ohio Infantry (USA) from 1 Nov 1861 to 9 Nov 1864. In 1880, as Napthali Bodine, he lived in Houston, Smith County, Kansas. In 1900 when recorded as Phaline Bodine, he lived in Piney, Texas County, Missouri engaged in farming. He reported that in 25 years of marriage his wife had borne 6 children of whom 4 were then living. In 1920, Napthali and Emma Bodine lived in Cass, Texas County, Missouri. In 1930, Emma Bodine, age 79 and now widowed, lived with her son-in-law and daughter, William and Myrtice Dyckman in Anaheim, California.

Naphali Bodine, who had resided at Brandsville the last three years, was a veteran of the Civil War. he was 83 years old, having been born in Hamilton county, Ohio, in 1840. He spent his early life in Iowa and was married there in 1874 to Miss Emma Stewart, who survives him. To this union were born six children, two of whom died in infancy and four of whom survive. Those who survive are Mrs. Myrtle Dyckman, of Anaheim, Calif., Lawrence Bodine, of Spokane, Wash., Mrs. Inez Duncan, of McGill, Nevada, and Mark Bodine, who also resides near Spokane. During the Civil War Mr. Bodine served three years with Company 16, 54th Regiment of the U.S. Infantry. Forty years ago he and his family moved from Ohio to Simmons in Texas county, Mo., where he and his wife resided until three years ago, when they moved to Brandsville. Mr. Bodine had been engaged in farming all of hislife and having been very successful financially, he had retired from active business a number of years ago. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and both he and his wife had made many friends since coming to Howell county. They also have a host of friends in Texas county, who will be grieved to learn of his death. Mrs. Bodine will go to the west to live with her sons and daughters and it therefore was decided to take the body to California for burial. The body was cared for in the McFarland undertaking parlors in West Plains.
