Subject: [NJHUNTER] BODINE Family

The following monumental inscription was taken from the graveyard of
the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church (known locally as "Grandin Church")
at Union Township. It was done for a fellow researcher, but I thought
I should share with this list. Is anyone else researching this branch
of the BODINE family?

The interesting thing about the headstone is that it very large, with
lots of names.
Here they are:
