Notes for: Theodore (Thadeus) Bodine
There was a Theodore E. Bodine who married a Mary E. King, but I'm not sure that he is this Theodore. There is another Theodore who married a Lucinda McCurdy on February 24, 1869 in Waterloo, Seneca County, New York (Seneca Observer, p. 40). In the grave records of St. James (Straw) Lutheran Cemetery in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, there is a Theodore Bodine listed (1839 - 1920).
From Ronny Bodine:
In 1880, Theodore Bodine lived in Washington Township, Warren County and in 1900 in Oxford Township, Warren County engaged in farming. In 1900, he reported that in 29 years of marriage to his wife Sarah she had borne 2 children, both then living. In 1920, Theodore Bodine, age 80 and his wife Sarah, age 69, lived in Phillipsburg, Warren County, now retired. Their 42-year old son Jesse lived with them. In 1930, Sarah Bodine, now a widow, lived with her son Jesse in Phillipsburg. Theodore Bodine was buried in St. James (Straw) Lutheran Cemetery in Phillipsburg.
