accompanies the cemetery listing in which a DAR regent searched for the
cemetery to place A REV. War marker on the grave of ____ Bodine in 1972.
An earlier article dated 1905 describes the cemetery “There is a little
cemetery in E. Union tp. about 3/4 mile north of Milbourn’s School.
Here was erected about 1822 or 1823, probably the first church in this
section - a Methodist church as nearly all of these settlers, the Boydstons,
Bodines, Thomases and others were Methodists.” Also quoted: “The
Wayne County Republican,” for Fri. Aug. 7, 1896, under “Smithville News”
has an article on Miss Lovina Bodine, “one of the oldest pioneers of the
county. She was born in Whitney Twp, Greene Co, VA., March 1, 1813
and came to Wayne Co., Aug. 10, 1815, being a little over two years and

The following information

Obituary section: Bodine — Emma M. Kent, was born in
Metz, Indiana, May 3,
1859, and died August 8, 1942. In 1876 she married Rev.
William H. Bodine.
To them were born six children. She and her husband were early
converted and entered
the ministry in 1891, and traveled faithfully and successfully
circuits and districts
of the North Michigan Conference until age and feebleness forced
them to retire.
She was a devout Christian and an inspiration to the church. Many
were led to Christ through
her ministry. Surviving to mourn her departure are her
sons, John N., L. D.,
and Glenn W., all ministers of the gospel and members of the
North Michigan Conference,
six grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. Her
funeral was held in the
Free Methodist Church at Manton, where a large congregation
of friends, including
a number of ministers, assembled. The writer had charge of the
funeral, assisted by
other ministers. Interment in the Manton Cemetery by the side of
her deceased husband.
We hope to meet her in the morning just inside the gates of
pearl.

SURFUS. Allen BODINE was the witness.
I also found them listed under Noble Co, OH
at the LDS, but the Allen Co, IN is an extract
from legal documents. I obtained
information on their son William thru the LDS
Ancestral Records, as someone is doing
that direct line. This last name can also
be spelled SURFACE. Charles Finton,
son-in-law of Lillie Whitehead says she was born
the date stated but in the census
records show Abt 1839.
I found them listed in the 1860 Allen Co,
Cedar Creek Twp, IN census and Peter was 23,
a farmer born in Ohio. Lorinda was 25.
Their children: Eventus L. age 2 and born in
Indiana. There was a Calvin SURFUS age
16 living with them which might be Peter’s
brother. Right next to their name is a
William CHESTER, age 32 and a carpenter who
was married to a Lucinda age 29. I think
she might have been Lorinda’s sister but have
no proof yet. They had children: Sarah
E. age 10 born in Ohio, William age 4 born Ohio

THOMAS
This is the possibility of our THOMAS line, based on Elizabeth's obituary, and census records plus the account in the book History of Wayne Co, OH by Ben Douglass, 1878.
"The first settlement made within its present limits was in 1811, by Michael THOMAS with his wife and seven children. He emigrated from Washington county, PA and settled upon the soutwest quarter of section 33, now known as the BECHTEL farm. . . Martha, daughter of Michael was born September 25, 1812, the first birth in the township [Greene Twp]. . . In 1812, the first sermon was preached in the township by Rev. GRAY, at the house of Mr. THOMAS."
Elizabeth's obituary from The Leader Enterprise of Williams Co, OH 19 Feb 1891:
"Died: At the home of her daughter, Mrs. Louisa MOSS, near Columbia, Williams Co, OH Jan. 27, 1891, Mrs. Elizabeth BODINE; aged 86 years 1 month and 28 days.
Elizabeth THOMAS was born in Pennsylvania, Nov 29, 1804. At the age of seven years she came with her parents to Ohio. In 1824, she was married to Joseph BODINE. To them were born seven children, five of whom are still living. Many years ago the husband and father passed over the river. . . ."
Other circumstantial evidence: 1850 census Michael Thomas lived in Cedar Creek, Allen Co, IN where Elizabeth was also living.
