I came across your web site, and help tie some information for you.
I am beth bodine-jones 43 years old
My father is Earle William Bodine (notice the "e" at the end of earle)
His father is Frank S. , and mother is Helen.
The Cuberly's are 1st cousins of my father, and ethel I think is a bodine. I can easily find out this info for you. Emily their daughter is still alive an in a nursing home in trenton.
Earle is still alive, and was born august 16, 1924. Unfortunately he is deteriorating fast, and I have been on the internet today researching our family burial plots.
I have a lot of family history. My Grandmother Helen Polhemus-Bodine kept wonderful records in our family bibles. After my father passes away I will be bringing him to N.J., and at that time I may have a lot more info for you.
Please contact me, I would love to help. I am the last in the line of the Frank S., Jerusha H. ect. I intentionally hyphenated my last name because I do not have any children.
I wish I could give your more info right now, but my time is consumed with my father & mothers needs as they both live with me now. His condition is dr only expects him to live a few more weeks at the most. I will make some photo copies of birth/death info.
