Dear Dave,
I have a couple of tidbits for you concerning both wives of Paul Eric Bodine, Sr. The parents of his first wife, Dagmar, were Mathilde Olsen (7 April 1874, Kongsvinger, Hedmark, Norway. Death 10 Sept 1951, Modesto, California) and Christian Christophersen (27 Nov 1874 in Christiana (Oslo), Norway. Death 17 Feb 1930, Oakland, Alameda, California, USA).
The maiden name of his second wife, Ellen, was Barton.
