In about 1870, John and Ellen moved to Kansas, but they later returned to Saint Mary's County, Indiana. Info at WorldConnect gives his birth date as March 14, 1845 instead of 1843.

No, I don't. That is the problem.
The photos belong to Sandy & Bill Hayes.
Bill's parents were Don & Christine Vermillion Hayes.
Christine's parents were Orlie and Blanche Bodine Vermillion.
Blanche's brother Albert Hugh "Bert" Bodine and his wife Nell
had one (and only one daughter) who became a nun.
Bert and Blanche's parents were John David & Elen Wrightmire Bodine.
John David's parents were Thomas & and Margaret Reynolds Bodine.
The Reynolds and Aloyisus Brown's (of North Arm, Edgar County, IL) were
related and he had at least two daughters who became nuns.
Sandy is trying to figure this out and I am helping her any way I can.
Thanks!
Edie

Dave and Shirley, I am attaching two photos of the same family. They could be Bodines, but we are not sure.
The family first had one daughter who became a nun and later a second daughter also became a nun. Do you
have any idea who these people are?
