Notes for: Adeline ("Addie") Elizabeth Shelton

Thomas and Barbara Bodine of Boaz, Alabama visited Roy and Addie in 1968. This was their first visit with them. Thomas said they had wonderful visit. He said Addie was a frugal person and adapted to farm life real well. This couple knew how to live as our forefathers did in not wasting the essentials of life. The happiness of this family could be seen everywhere.

Here is an obituary for Adeline Bodine that Terry Jenkins found online and sent to me:
