BODINE, PETER. Farmer and stock raiser Section 26, P. O. Knoxville. This popular citizen was born in Cayuga County, New York, September 20, 1825. His father, John, was a native of Pennsylvania and his mother, Mary, a native of New York. When Peter was quite young, the family removed to Livingston County, New York, where he was raised to manhood, educated, and learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed in that state until 1855. The autumn of that year he came West and located at White Rock, Ogle County, Illinois, and the following spring came to Marion County, locating where he now resides. His estate consists of eighty acres, a residence that indicates comfort. For a number of years he followed his trade in connection with farming, and is closely identified with the building interests of Knoxville and Pella. In stock-raising he does a fair business. He married the third of February, 1848, Miss H. A. Everett, a native of Virginia, daughter of Francis and Kathern, the former a native of New York and the latter of Massachusetts. Mrs. Bodine is a cousin of Edward S. Everett, the noted attorney. She is a lady of many graces and considerable literary taste, which is characteristic of the Everett family. Her father was in the War of 1812, and her grandfather a soldier of the Revolutionary War. She has raised a family of five children: Mary E. (wife of L. F. Coffman), Virginia M. (wife of E. Brown), Harriet E. (wife of A. Salsburry), Eva K. (wife of John A. Young) and Edward E. Seymore and lost one, Helen F.
