Notes for: Algot Edvin ("Ed") Bodin
From Ronny Bodine:
ALGOT EDVIN BODIN was the son of Oscar Adolf BODIN (1852-1928) and Johanna Carolina Olofsson (1859-1935) who did not emigrate to America. Algot immigrated from Sweden in 1917 at the time being unmarried. Although his name was spelled BODINE on some occasions the predominent spelling was BODIN, appearing thus consistently in Kansas City censuses and was reported as such to the Social Security Administration at his death.
