I just found you web page for the Bodine geneology and found my grandmother's name listed...Bettie Gore Bodine. The date of birth and death are correct as far as I know them. I do remember when she died myself as I was in college at the time. She actually had four children - I noticed there is only 1 listed. My father was the oldest - Robert Bodine Flanders, born in Paris, MO on Oct. 29, 1890, and died in Decatur, GA on Dec. 2, 1962.
There were also two girls - Lavinia Flanders Calhoun - she was born in Paris, MO and died in Arkansas, but I do not know the dates.
The second girl was Nelle Flanders Blakey - born in Parish, MO and died there - I don't know the dates.
