Notes for: Billy Joe Bodine

In his sister Goldie's obituary, there is mention of her brother Will of Oregon. I bet his real name is William and he went by Will or Billy.

From Ronny Bodine:

He was Billie Joe Bodine, age 1 year and 3 months in April 1930, living with his parents.

Billy Joe Bodine of Stratford, CA, registered for the World War II Draft on 7 Jan 1947. He reported he was born 6 Jan 1929 in Stafford, OK, worked for E. C. Swearingen and named W. A. Hill as his next of kin.

1st marriage--1958--ROVINA JUNE ALLINGER.
From Carson City, Nevada Marriage Records:
Billy J. Bodine AND June Allinger were married 5 June 1958.

Insofar as their only child was born 1958 in Yuba County, California, it appears June Allinger must be the same as June R. Allinger, age 2 months, living in 1940 with her parents, Thomas D. & Audrey R. Allinger, in Marysville, Yuba County. California Birth Records reflect the birth of Rovina June Allinger on 28 Jan 1940 in Yuba County.

Marriage Records of Gray County, Texas show that Rovina June Allinger, 27, married Robert Joseph Tinkle, 27, on 28 Sept 1966. Marriage Records of Washoe County, Nevada show the marriage of Rovina June Tinkle to Robert Allen Carden on 10 May 1993 in Reno.

2nd marriage--1961--BERTINA LOUISE SCARBERRY.
From California and Nevada Marriage and Divorce Records:
Billie J. Bodine, born 1929 AND Bertina L. Scarberry, born (not stated), married in 1961, must have divorced about 1965, as on 3 June 1967 in Monterey County as Bertina L. Bodine, 23, she married Tommy L. Roberts, from whom she was granted a preliminary dissolution in Jan 1972 in Monterey County under the name Bertina L. Scarberry Bodine. Billie Bodine and Bertina appear to have remarried as in July 1976 in Sutter County, Billie J. Bodine, 29 AND Bertina L. Scarberry Bodine (no age given) obtained a preliminary dissolution. The record stated they had married in 1961. And on 13 July 1978 in Sutter County a divorce was granted to Billie J. Bodine and Bertina L. Bodine. Yet, on 4 Feb 1978 [!!], in Reno, Washoe County, Nevada, Bertina L. Bodine married Thomas Edward Simeroth (1944-2003) and were divorced in Reno on 5 Dec 1979.
