ITEM #2, OBITUARY:

CAPTAIN CHARLES CLINTON BODLEY, 25 Jun 1807 - 03 Feb 1881

   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.
