Notes for: Sarah C. Bodine
From Ronny Bodine:
In 1870, Henry and Sarah Altenburg lived in DeKalb County, Indiana. Henry worked as a carpenter. In 1900, Sarah Altenburg, reporting her birth date as Jan 1847 (but should likely be Jan 1849 so that it does not conflict with her brother), and now widowed, was living in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana. She stated she had borne 4 children all of whom were alive. Her household included her son John and her 82-year old mother.
