Notes for: Helen Elisabeth Dorothea Bodine
I think she must have been born right around the time her father died. I don't think she was listed in the 1880 Census of Orange, Essex Co., NJ; so she must have been born after that and around the time her father died in 1881. I later got the census info below from Ronny Bodine and that does prove this.
From Ronny Bodine:
