Notes for: Thomas Andrew Bodine, Jr.
He may have been living with Andrew Bodine & wife Anna in 1920. He was aged 1 month and called their son. The parents of 1-month old Thomas were listed as born in Washington and Iowa, which is exactly where Thomas Andrew Bodine and Lydia Brown Bodine's birthplaces were. He was their son and not Andrew's. Andrew was his grandfather.
