Notes for: Charles Orville Bodine
I was guessing that his wife was Elizabeth Pearl Supple from info I found on the Internet about an Orville Bodine. RB did confirm that she was his wife. She is also listed in her father's obit and Mrs. C. O. Bodine (Scranton Gazette, Osage Co., KS, June 6, 1928).
From Ronny Bodine:
From The Osage City (Kansas) Free Press of Thur. 31 Aug 1916.
Miss Elizabeth Pearl Supple of Scranton and Chas. Orville Bodine of Joliet, Ill., were married at the Catholic church Tuesday morning at seven o'clock, Rev. Fr. Degan officiating. Hugh Bodine, a brother of the groom, was best man.
On 5 June 1917, Charles Orville Bodine registered for the World War I draft in Joliet, Illinois. He reported he was employed as the office manager for the Star Loan Company. In 1930, C. O. Bodine, a insurance salesman, lived with his family in Oklahoma City.
