Notes for: Ethel Lora Bodine
I have her married to G. R. Dale in Oct. 1922, but RB has her married to Walter Lee Litchfield in 1923. She may have been married to both and possibly that took place in Hardeman Co., TX.
From Ronny Bodine:
In June 1900, she was Lara E. Bodine, born May 1894 and in April 1910 she was Ethel Bodine, age 13, living with her father in Quanah, Hardeman County, Texas. In Jan 1920, Ethel Bodine, age 23, lived in Quanah, Hardeman County employed as a practical nurse. The marriage of G. R. Dale and Laura Bodine is recorded in the family bible of Catherine Ann Frymiur. Dale must have died soon after as by the next year Ethel was married to Walter Litchfield. Walter and Ethel Litchfield lived 1930 in Shamrock, Wheeler County, Texas engaged in farming. The Texas death certificate of Walter Lee Litchfield (1956-10714) reports he died of a skull fracture falling from the tower of a water wall. He was buried in Citizen's Cemetery, McLean, Texas. Walter Litchfield was 1st married to Ethel Harris, a native of Texas, with whom he was living in 1920 and who was the mother of his children Buster, age 15 and Jasper, age 14. The April 1930 census notes he and Ethel (Bodine), a native of Ohio, had been married only 7 years.
