Notes for: Samuel Reading Bodine

Samuel B. Bodine is in the 1880 Census of Delaware, Hunterdon Co., NJ. He is 35 and born in New Jersey. Both his parents were also born in NJ. He is a farmer. Living with him are a Sarah L. Bodine (36, NJ, NJ, NJ), Mary H. Bodine (6, NJ, NJ, NJ), and Lucy Bodine (4, NJ, NJ, NJ). There seem to be some inconsistencies on this census about this family. It should be checked again.

S. Reading Bodine (1845-1920) is buried in the Sandy Ridge Baptist Cemetery near Stockton in Hunterdon Co., NJ. Buried near him are Sarah L. Bodine (1844-1920), Lucy L. Bodine (1875-1951) and Mary H. Bodine (1874-1943).

Here is a picture of his stone sent to me by Brian Bodine:
