Notes for: Oakley Bodine
LDS had a record saying he was born in Vienna Township, Genesee County, Michigan. Another record had him born in Groveland, Livingston County, New York. The 1870 Census of Genesee County, Michigan gave his birth place as Michigan. It also looks like Albertus, probably the son of Mortimer, was living with them at the time of the 1870 Census. Albertus was listed as being fourteen years old and born in Michigan.
From Ronny Bodine:
Oakley and Barbara Bodine were buried in Pine Run Cemetery, Genesee County. Only years of birth and death were inscribed on their markers. For photographs of their grave markers see Find A Grave Memorials # 66011755 and 66594705. Barbara was the daughter of Philip and Eliza Ann Devoe.
