From Ronny Bodine:
History of Stark County, Illinois (1887), p. 687.
David J. Bodine, son of Joseph and Rebecca (Painter) Bodine, was born in Warren county, N. J., in 1845. A complete sketch of his parents' lives is given in this work. In 1846 he came to Illinois with his parents and lived for the most of the time in West Jersey township. When about eighteen years of age he entered Lombard University, and two years after went to Mt. Pleasant, Ia., where he remained nearly two years; then returned to his home at Rochester, Peoria county, and engaged in stock-buying which he followed for eleven years. On December 1, 1875, he married Miss Mary Ann, daughter of Alexander and Susannah (Hare) McCoy. She was born in Wayne county, near Wooster, O., in 1847, where her parents, Pennsylvanians, had settled. Some years later they removed to Auglaize county, Ohio, where September, 1852, her father died. After her husband's death Mrs. McCoy remained on the farm about two years, when she removed to Knox county, Ill., where she remained ten years, then settled at French Grove, Peoria county, where she purchased a farm. Afer nine years she sold this farm and made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Bodine, until her death May 6, 1883, in her fifty-ninth year. Mrs. Bodine is the second child of a family of three children. In 1854 she entered Knox College, where she remained one year. On account of failing health she was compelled to return to her home, where she remained until her marriage. After this marriage Mr. Bodine followed stock-buying for about a year, and then came to West Jersey township and began farming, where they now reside. Their union has been blessed by one child, Joseph Clyde, born December 13, 1876. Politically Mr. Bodine is a member of the Greenback party, but formerly was a Democrat. He is an expert hunter and enjoys a days' sport in the field with his rifle as much as in his younger years.
In 1880, David Bodine lived in West Jersey Township, Stark County and in 1900, as D. J. Bodine, lived in Elmwood, Peoria County, Illinois. He reported that in 24 years of marriage his wife had borne 1 child, their son John, who was then living with them, along with David's widowed mother Rebecca. In 1910, as Junken Bodine, he lived with his wife in Elmwood.
