John Bodoh

Lifespan: 1882 — 1915

Summary

Son of Jacques Guilluame Bodoh (1836–1918) and Julia Marie Balthazar (1844–1912). Married Mary Young. Three children: Leonard Bodoh (1908–1927, died age 19), Albinus George Bodoh (1914–1982), and Marie Ellen Bodoh (1906–1998). Was ~24 when Marie was born on July 10, 1906 in Maple Creek, Outagamie County, Wisconsin.

Died in 1915 at age 32–33, when Marie was only 9 years old. Buried at Most Precious Blood Cemetery, New London, Waupaca County, Wisconsin — just west of Outagamie County where Marie was born. Mary Young, widowed at ~26, later remarried John A Siudzinski.

John was one of 10 children. His siblings: Justina B (1862), George Henry (1863), Francis (1866), Edmund (1869), Malvina Marie (1871–1880), Delia Marie (1873–1896), Mary Jane (1879), Mary Alice (1887), James (1888–1980).

Research Notes

• Maple Creek, Outagamie County location suggests the Bodoh family was in the Appleton/western Green Bay area.
• 1900/1910 census should show the household.
• “Bodoh” is an Americanization of “Beaudin” — the French-Canadian “Dit” naming convention: “Beaudin Dit Bodoh” = “Beaudin, called Bodoh.” Search under Beaudin, Beaudoin, Bodoh, Bodo, Bodeau.
• Beaudin Dit Bodoh lead revised: John’s father is Jacques Guilluame Bodoh (1836–1918), NOT John Beaudin Dit Bodoh (1859). The Beaudin Dit Bodoh connection may still apply further back — Jacques could be a Beaudin Dit Bodoh — or it could be a different branch. Needs further research.
• Birth year discrepancy for Marie: Little Chute chart shows “Marie Eleanor Bodoh (1926–1998)” but FamilySearch says born 1906. Since John died 1915, he cannot be father to a child born 1926. The 1906 date is correct — 1926 is likely Marie’s marriage year to Claude confused with birth year.
• Marie had two brothers: Leonard (1908–1927, died age 19) and Albinus George (1914–1982).
• Marie’s 1998 obituary (Junction City, Oregon) would confirm details.
