Notes for: John R. Bodine

In a hand-written obituary of John's father by one of John's sisters, she says John lost his life trying to save a cripple from a fire in Terre Haute, Indiana.

From Ronny Bodine:

The Clark County Herald of 3 Aug 1880 reported that a son of William M. Bodine was burned to death in Terre Haute, on Saturday at the age of 19 years. He was buried in Martinsville cemetery on Monday.
