Bodine - Jeannie - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Monday afternoon between the hours of twelve and one o’clock, Mrs. Jeannie D. Bodine died very suddenly at the home of her son, Professor Donaldson Bodine on West Main Street. Prof. Bodine and Miss Georgiana were attracted shortly after twelve by a noise as though something had fallen. They attributed it, however, to the raising of a window by their mother. Shortly after they called to her that dinner was served and receiving no response, Prof. Bodine went to his mother’s room and found her lying on the floor dead. He placed her upon the bed and hastening to the residence of Prof. Milford telephoned for Dr. Ristine who was soon present but who found all efforts at resuscitation fruitless. Mrs. Bodine had not been in the best of health for some days but was able to be up as usual. It is supposed that she suffered a stroke of apoplexy. She was fifty eight years of age and had lived here for several years. On Tuesday the body was taken to Ovid, N. Y., for interment by the side of her husband. -s
