Samuel Smith Bodine (1864-1929) and Ellen (Wallace) Bodine (1870-1917), were natives of Albany, Linn County, Oregon, the children of pioneers, who married on Nov 20, 1895 in Albany, OR. Samuel's father had died when he was only five years old and he had remained with his brothers at the family home, working on the farm and caring for their mother, Margaretta Young (Foster) Bodine until 5 yrs. before his mother had died, in 1900. He was 31 years old when he married Ellen. The happy couple was blessed with two daughters: Dorothy E., b.1903, {who later married Wyatt Peck,} and Bertha Orv Bodine, b.1906. They moved to Toledo, Lincoln Co., OR from @1910 until Samuel's death in 1929. I believe his health didn't permit such strenuous activity as farming as he grew older. Bertha was a stenographer at the lumber mill in Toledo, Lincoln Co., OR. for many years. At the end of her life, she was living in SE Portland, in Multnomah County. She never married, died in 1984 and was buried with her parents, Samuel & Ellen, at Riverside Cemetery in Albany, Linn County. Dorothy and her husband, Wyatt Peck, were buried together at Willamette National Cemetery in Portland, Multnomah Co., Oregon as her husband served as a Corporal in the "Air Service", which I believe was an early form of the Army Air Corp, later to become known as the Air Force after World War II. They are all in Peace in God's Paradise, this day.
