Notes for: Russell Howard Bodine

Russell is not mentioned in the obituary of Gordon Roberts Bodine. That is somewhat strange.

His youngest child (CFriscia at aol.com) has written me asking for info on a Lydia Bodine of Mt. Holly, New Jersey. His granddaughter (Sandra Persinger) posted a message at Ancestry.com with the names of his children; however, the order was not given. The children below are not in the correct birth order. Sandra says that this family lived in the New Jersey and New York areas.

I am tring to find some of my wifes family members. She has told me that as a child she remembers going to MT Holly to visit some of the Bodines. She is having a lot of trouble finding living relatives, as well as those that have passed. Russell b. abt. 1914 d. abt. 1951, married Carolyn Seaberry. They had two sons and I beleive 5 or 6 daughters, one of which passed at a very young age. My wife knows that she has a great aunt Elenor that may still be living in the MT Holly area. My wife has found no info at all on Carolyn Seaberry's parents. She did have a sister Gloria, now passed. If there is anyone who might shed some light on the missing info I would be very glad to hear from them. Thank you so much for your help.
