Notes for: Mary Eliza Bodine
According to the 1903 picture of John and Clara's 50th wedding anniversary, she was known as Aunt Lyde to her nieces and nephews. In that same picture, there is a "Sam" next to her who is said to be her husband. That might just be some misidentification or some nickname for her husband.
