Notes for: Andrew Edwin Bodine

It looks like he was in Grant County, IL for the 1920 Census. He was reported to be 35 which would make his birth year about 1885. He said he and his parents were born in Illinois. Somebody may have reported this information for him since it looks like he was in some kind of boarding house. If that is so, there could be a lot of mistakes. In the 1900 Census, he was with his father and sister in Moline. His birth date was reported as Nov. 1880 in IL.

From Ronny Bodine (Sep. 6, 2020):

Although Andrew's birthplace was always reported as Illinois, his parents did not come to American until 1882.
