Notes for: Elmer Bodine

Orange County Marriages & Deaths - 1865 & 1875 Census: death at age 57 on May 27, 1875 in Montgomery of liver complaint (blacksmith). Ronny said the year "1874" from Elmer's tombstone was difficult to read, so we will go with the year 1875 from the death record.

Ronny said that Elmer Bodine is somehow related to Lewis Bodine, b. abt. 1735.
