Notes for: Mary 'Gladys' Bodine
Wesley Bodine says she has a daughter named Sophia. No last name was given.
This Mary was not mentioned as surviving in her mother's obituary of 1945. That is somewhat strange.
From Ronny Bodine:
In April 1930, M. Gladys Bodine, 24 and single, a public school teacher, lived with her aunt Ann Rolle in Jersey City, Hudson County. On 20 Aug 1931, Gladys Bodine, born 16 July 1902 in Stockton, NJ, a resident of 124 Monticello Avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey, arrived in New York City aboard the ship "Berengaria" from Cherbourg, France.
The Trenton (NJ) Evening Times of 14 Nov 1931 reported "Miss Gladys Bodine of Union, spent a week at her home on Stockton Road."
From New York Marriage Records:
Caspar P. Hart AND M. Gladys Bodine were issued a marriage license on 28 May 1933 at Staten Island.
Casper and Mary Hart were still married when the Pottsville (PA) Republican of 15 Jan 1937 reported that "Casper Hart and wife" transferred property in Union Township to Harry R. Houser.
1940 Union Twp., Union Co., NJ: Gladys HART 37 NJ married, Sonya 5 NJ dau. Home on 1 April 1935 for Gladys--Roselle Park, for Sonya--Elizabeth.
1940 Baltimore, Baltimore Co., MD: Casper P. HART 33 MD public school teacher divorced.
The Star-Democrat (Easton, MD) of 23 Aug 1940 reported the marriage of Casper Hart of Easton and Miss Louise Orem of St. Michaels on 1 July 1940 in Cambridge. CASPER PHIEFFER HART of Catonsville, Maryland registered for the World War II Draft on 16 Oct 1940 and named Mrs. Louise Orem Hart, his wife, as his next of kin. He reported he was born 16 Nov 1906 in Cambridge, Maryland and worked for the Baltimore County Board of Education.
From Plainfield (NJ) Courier-News of 18 Sept 1945:
Probate of the will of Emma W. Bodine of 10 Nov 1943 refers to her daughter Gladys B. Hart of Union City, Penn.
Obituary, Arizona Republic (Phoenix, AZ) of Monday, 27 July 1981.
SUN CITY---Casper P. Hart, 74, who retired as a high school teacher in his native Maryland, died July 25, 1981, at Boswell Memorial Hospital. Mr. Hart, 10344 Pineaire Drive, came to Arizona in 1974 from Bowie, Md. He received his master's degree from Columbia University after graduating from the Western Maryland College at Westminster, Md. He was a member of the Ball Dance Club and Lions 79'ers of Sun City and Maryland Retired Teachers Association. Survivors include his wife, Louise. Services will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Lakeview United Methodist Church, 10298 Thunderbird Blvd. Heritage Funeral Chapel made arrangements.
The 24 Oct 1977 newspaper obituary of her brother Frank Bodine named "Mrs. Gladys Hart of rural Stockton" as his survivor. She was deceased by April 1990 as evident from the obituary of her only child, Sonya, which appeared in the Trenton Evening Times of 30 April 1990 reporting that she, Sonya Hart, 55, died 27 April in Raritan Township, Hunterdon County and was survived only by four cousins.
From Social Security Records:
Gladys Hart was born 16 July 1902 and died in March 1986. Her last residence was Doylestown, Bucks Co., PA.
As there is no record of Gladys's death in the New Jersey Deaths Index it appears likely that she died in Pennsylvania where she was last known to be living.
Burials in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Saint Michaels, Talbot County, Maryland.
