Notes for Douglas Edward BODINGTON Douglas Edward Bodington's letter written on his business stationary dated September 14th 1915, said that his wife Rose had passed away and he was sending his daughter Kathleen to Tryon, North Carolina to board with a Dr Kenworthy's widow, till he got his affairs in order. However, Rose Bodington shows up in the 1920 Federal census living with her brother and his son in Chicago Illinois, Kathleen age 12 and Daughter Elinor age 1. It looks very much as though they were trying to hide a family breakup.
