Notes for: William Bodine
I wonder if this is not the William J. Bodine buried in Woodlawn Cemetery and Arboretum in Dayton, Montgomery Co., Ohio. He only has a death death of 1917 on his small stone. The info on Find A Grave says he died on May 1, 1917, but that could be a mistake. This William is from Montgomery County, OH; so this could be the right person. And this is quite the cemetery. One can see how one would want to be buried there.
