Belding Banner – Thursday 23 June 1904
The scriptural injunction that the way of the transgressor is hard was 
verified the last of the week when the remains of Clarence Bodine, the lad who 
stole several checks from the Ballon Basket Works a few months ago and who 
received a sentence to the Ionia reformatory for the crime, were brought to 
this city for interment on Friday last.  Young Bodine was a son of a Methodist 
minister at Manton and had been brought up in a manner that would have taught 
him to shun the way of evil doers but he proved that much good seed falls on 
rocky soil and as a result of his waywardness was sent to a term in the Ionia 
prison.  During his incarceration he was taken sick with cerebro spinal 
meningitis and after but a short illness passed away.  His heart broken father 
brought the remains to this city for interment and the funeral was held at the 
Free Methodist church on Saturday last and the interment was made at Belding 
Cemetery.
