Notes for: Mary Emma Bodine
I did have her name as Mary E. Bodine. Joyce Cook's site had it as Mary Emma. I will go with that for now.
Her inscription says she is the daughter of Samuel C. Bodine and Betsey Hill. She appears to have been living with her sister, Clarissa A. (Bodine) Grinnell in 1915. She is in their household, listed as "aunt." Fred and Clarissa had two children. I would gather by this and the same data in the 1930 Census that Mary never married.
