My father's mother was Louise Glen. She was born Louise Louella Glenn on March 8, 1929, and died on March 5, 1997. She remarried twice after Marion Eugene Bodine. After Marion Eugene, Louise Glenn next wed Leroy Newberry, produced a daughter named Patricia Ann Newberry. Louise Glenn next wed Eldon Earl Baker, and produced three other children, Eldon Earl Baker, Jr., Billie Marie Baker, and Gary Lawrence Baker.
I never knew Marion Eugene Bodine, but my grandmother (Louise Glenn) gave me an old picture of him (Marion Eugene) and pictures of my father (Jackie Ray Bodine) as a very small child. I have no information on any of Marion Eugene's other wives or children.

Dave,
First, thanks for a great deal of information on your website. I was able to find out more about my father's side of the family than anyone could ever tell me, since my grandmother and grandfather were not married long, and my own parents were divorced when I was very young.
However, I was wondering if you have way of knowing if there is any native american heritage along the way. My father was dark-skinned, and it was always attributed to native american heritage. My grandmother always told me there had been some sort of native american medicinal woman in our lineage. It may have been her own heritage, I'm not sure. My grandmother looked like an old native american woman when she died. And, for as long as I could remember always had a "tanned" complexion.
My father was Jackie Ray Bodine, son of Marion Eugene Bodine (descended from Joseph Abner Bodine, Sr.), who married Louise Louella Glenn, b. March 8, 1929 in Ryan, Oklahoma, deceased March 4, 1997 in San Angelo, Texas. Her mother's name was Jewel Blackwell (maiden name) Glenn.
