From Janet Mackey-Bodine:
Joseph Bodine - 1858 - 6 - 4 - 1943 - OSW Ruth, Susan -- I believe this is Joeph "Joe" Bodine, the spouse of Susan Stanton.
There are two adjacent listings for a Martin Bodine - I suspect they are for one and the same person, but two grave sites (friends of Marvin have two grave sites - he died first and she did not want to be buried in the "boonies" with his family so she bought new plots and headstone in Covington after he died)
#1. Martin Bud Bodine - 66 years - 9 - 8 - 1990 (section O)
#2. Martin Stanton Bodine - 1923 - 1990 - OSW Elizabeth, WWII (section P)
