Notes for: Francis ("Frank") Ware Bodine

From Ronny Bodine:

From Cumberland County, New Jersey Marriage Records:
Frank Bodine, son of Chas. E. & Hannah N. Bodine AND Hannah B. Wood, dau. of Geo. & Matilda Wood, were married 10 Jan 1876 in Greenwich, Cumberland County.

Frank and Hannah Bodine lived 1880 in Stow Creek Township, Cumberland County next door to Frank's parents. Frank worked as a blacksmith. The 1895 New Jersey state census recorded Frank and Hannah Bodine and their son Linwood living still in Stow Creek Township. In 1900, the Bodine family was living in Philadelphia's 32nd Ward where Frank worked as a hatter. He reported that in 24 years of marriage his wife, Hannah, had borne one child, then living with them. Recorded in April 1910, as Frank W. Bedoine, he and Hannah lived in Vineland Borough, Cumberland County, New Jersey. He reported that in 34 years of marriage they had no living children and that he worked as a clerk in a retail store. In Jan 1920, recorded as Frank W. Boudine, he and Hannah, lived in Vineland Borough, where he now worked as a janitor in the Methodist Church.

Both Frank and Hannah Bodine appear in the 1921 Vineland City Directory, but Frank Bodine, janitor, is listed alone in the next available directory in 1924. The next available directory is that of 1929 which reflects no Bodine.

From New Jersey Death Records:
Hannah V. Bodine died May 1922 in Cumberland County.
Frank Bodine died September 1926 in Cumberland County.
