   James Bodine, farmer, Covington, was born in Warren county, Ohio, in 1825,
and is the son of William and Rebecca (Marlatte) Bodine. They were natives of
Virginia, the father being born March 1, 1793, and the mother about 1797. They
came to Warren county, Ohio, about 1817, and removed to Fountain county,
Indiana, October, 1829, and settled in what is now Wabash township. They had a
family of seven children, four born in Ohio and three in Fountain county. They
took an active part in the early improvements of that part of the county in
which they lived. Although they have passed away, they are still remembered by
the old settlers of the county. In 1864 the father died, and about 1869 the
mother departed this life. James, our subject, was raised on his father's farm,
and received a good common school education. He has occupied his time in
agricultural pursuits, and is now the owner of 1,145 acres of land, well stocked
and improved. He is a prominent Mason and Odd-Fellow, and is well respected by
all who know him. In 1859 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Campbell,
daughter of Joseph Campbell, who was one of the old and respected pioneers of
the county. Mr. Bodine has four children: Flora, Robert, Thomas, and Jennie.
