Another veteran has fallen. Bro. Bodley has been a faithful advocate of the doctrines of Adventism from its earliest history, and ever led an exemplary life. He enjoyed great peace, often exclaiming the day prior to his death, "How happy I am!" He requested the privilege of partaking of the Lord's supper once more, but did not, for lack of opportunity.
His remains were interred at his residence near Salem, Ind. He leaves a companion, several children, and a large circle of relatives, to mourn his loss. May they all be prepared to meet him in Heaven. Funeral discourse by E. B. Lane.

Uncle Charles Bodley died at the residence of his daughter, near Hillsdale, on Feb. 3, 1881, while there on a visit. The remains were brought back and buried in the north cemetery the following Monday.
Uncle Charles (as he was generally called) was born in the state of New York and moved to this county some 43 years ago. He was the father of ten children, seven of whom survive him, the youngest being 25 years of age.
Uncle Charles was a devoted Christian, a good neighbor, a kind husband and father, and now sleeps the sleep that knows no waking, but our loss is his gain.
