From Ronny Bodine:
From Lawrence (Kan.) Daily Journal of Sunday, 29 Aug 1869.
Married. BODINE--BILLMAN.---On Tuesday evening, August 17th, at the residence of the bride's father, by Rev. J. A. Cox, Mr. J. H. Bodine to Miss Margaret D. Billman, all of Oswego.
The marriage of their daughter Pearl in 1889 named her parents Henry Bodine and Margaret Billman. In June 1870, Maggie Bodine, 20, lived with her parents William and Anna Billman in Oswego, Labette County. By June 1880, Margaret was married to J. W. McNamar with whom she was living in Oswego. The family included Purl Bodine, 9 and William McNamar, 6. In May 1910, Margaret McNamara, 58, was a widow living in Oswego.
From: History of Labette County, Kansas, from the first settlement to the close of 1892, by Nelson Case, Topeka: Crane & Co., 1893, p. 90.
On April 30, 1870, Wm. Patterson and Henry Bodine were examining a revolver in a street near the Oswego House. The revolver was accidentally discharged by Mr. Patterson and Mr. Bodine was instantly killed. The deceased was at the time under-sheriff, and his death caused a good deal of annoyance in reference to official papers, as well as trouble to his family.
