Notes for: Victoria Bodine
From Ronny Bodine:
The 1909 Saint Louis City Directory lists Victoria Bell as widow of John.
1910 Ward 6, St. Louis, MO: Victoria BELL 41 MO widow, Daisy 16 MO dau, Bernard 10 MO son, Nancy BODINE 77 KY mother widow.
1920 Ward 24, St. Louis, MO: Victoria BELL 50 MO widow, Bernard 19 MO son.
1930 St. Louis, MO: Victoria BELL 60 MO widowed, Daisy Mcevans 36 MO dau, Dorothy 16 MO dau.
From State of Illinois Certificate of Death for Victoria Bell, born 19 Sept 1871 in Tuscumbia, MO, daughter of Thomas Bodine (born in France) & Nancy Cooper (born in Tuscumbia, MO), widow of John Bell, died 27 May 1935 in Oak Park, Cook County, buried in Forest Home Cemetery, Forest Park, Cook County.
Victoria's age: Her 1935 death certificate reported her birth date as 1871, whereas in 1880 she was 13 (=1867), 41 in 1910 (=1868/9), 50 in 1920 (1869/70) and 60 in 1930 (1869/70). It seems more likely her birth date should read 19 Sept 1869.
