Hi Dave,
I've been able to get some information for you. I have a birthdate/death date for Carrie. She married Gaylord W. Martin, so her name was Carrie Martin when she died. She was born 01/13/1897 and she died on 10/23/1959. She is buried in Neoga Memorial Cemetery in Neoga, IL...
I spoke with my uncle today and he has a LOT of info to share with me this weekend and I'll be sure to pass that along. It seems that Carrie had many more children. My grandfather was the only one with the Bodine name, the rest were Martins. I'm also not seeing our local cemetery on Find a Grave, so I'll send you cemetery pictures that I took this weekend.
Thanks!
Carla
