Notes for: Cornelia G. Bodine
From Ronny Bodine:
The marriage of Joseph Dunn and Miss Cornelia Bodine was announced in the Bordentown "Register" of 22 Nov 1889. The Trenton Evening Times of 31 March 1899 reported "Cornelia Dunn, the wife of Joseph R. Dunn, whose husband secured a divorce from her in the courts of North Dakota, had left the Dunn homestead and gone to the home of her father, Stockton Bodine. Martin Dunn, their little son will divide his time between his mother and father." Cornelia Dunn, age 30 and divorced, was living 1900 with her parents in Bordentown, Burlington County and working there as a dressmaker. In 1910, aged 40, she was still living with her parents. Cornelia Dunn was named as a survivor of her sister Emma in the latter's newspaper obituary of July 1947.
