Notes for: Elizabeth 'Louise' Bodine
This is Heather Brown's (hlb at hotmail.com) great-grandmother. She knows that Louise married twice, but that was about all she has found out. Louise and Harvey had three children: Ethel (m. Frederick Reif), Leslie, and Clyde. Louise and Charles Irish had one child: Lois Ramona Irish. She was born in 1905 according to her birth certificate, but the year is normally known to be 1906.
From Ronny Bodine:

Harvey H. Adair is a well driller and a dealer in windmills and pumps in Marshall. He was born in Green County, Wisconsin May 23, 1866...On January 4, 1887 at Carthage, South Dakota, occured the marriage of Mr. Adair to Louise Boudine.

Mr. Adair was married a second time at Northville, South Dakota on January 24, 1905 to Magdaline Pluman, a native of Minneapolis. They have two children: Margaret and Angeline.
In June 1900, Harvey and Louise Adair lived with their 3 children in Lake Marshall Township, Lyon County, Minnesota. Harvey worked in farming and Louisa was a dressmaker.
