Daughter of Jonathan Gore, Jr. and Moriah Duncan. Married Isaac Addison Bodine on 30 Mar 1837 in Monroe County, Missouri.
(Contributor: Pam Witherow)
Mrs. Mary Bodine died of pneumonia at her home in Paris Monday morning at 9 o'clock. She was 82 years old, lacking two months and leaves family of five children surviving her, among them Hon R. N. Bodine. She was born in Nelson county, Ky., being a daughter of Judge Jonathan Gore, and was one of the pioneer women of Monroe county, coming here with her father in 1835. She was married to Adison Bodine in ____ [sic] and nearly all her long life had been a devoted member of the Christian church at Paris, being one of its earliest members. With her passes not only a beautiful character, but a most remarkable woman. At her advanced age she held every faculty unimpaired and was as active at 83 as at 50. She went to church regularly, found her way over town unaided and to the last was vigorous in both mind and body. She enjoyed the society of the young, never tired of being around where they were and looked on life with a delightful optimism. "I refuse to get old," she said and made her word good. "Aunt Mary," we all called her, and the same is but a suggestion of the love in which she was held by all. She was a sister of the late Dr. A. E. Gore and the most beautiful part of her life and his was the strong companionship and love existing between them. He contracted the illness that resulted in his death while attending her. It was "Brother Ab" and "Sister Mary," and only those who saw the lives of these two delightful old people can appreciate their beauty. Mrs. Bodine was a strong woman intellectually but above all kind, motherly, considerate, one of those sweet and lovely souls purified by suffering and sacrifice. May her rest be peaceful and her awakening all that a great faith had hoped for her
