Notes for: Marion Harding Bodine
Marion was a private in World War II. The info on this family came from Mike Bodine of Marion, Ohio.
Information at WorldConnect says he was born in Mt. Victory, Hardin Co., OH. It looks like pretty good info, but no source was given.

Okay. Judy Cherry died in Marion Ohio July 26, 2015. She was cremated and ashes were scattered in Montana (she had previously lived there for many years).
Our son, Michael David Bodine II, married Tricia Lynn Cooper on... 2008 in Marion Ohio. They have 1 daughter: Cora Nicole Bodine, born... 2015 in Marion Ohio
Do you need info on Tricia's family?
One more question: in our line of Bodines....I've been able to go back to Abram Bodine who purchased land in Bucyrus Ohio while living in Livingston County, New York on May 28 1835 but wasn't recorded until December 26 1889....why did it take so long?
Also I have several copies of land transactions for Abram and for Thomas Bodine. Any ideas of how to figure out the puzzle of relationship between them?
Thanks again!!
