Notes for: Myrtle J. Bodine
Her birth year could be off by a couple of years since she is listed under her sister (supposedly 16 years old) in the 1920 Census of Moline, IL (Myrtle is supposedly 18). Or her sister could be 19 and Myrtle 18.
I see that the 1910 Census probably clears this up. Myrtle is listed as 8 and is above her sister who is 6.
