Arthur Bodwin

1884 - 1935  (51 years)

• Name	Arthur Bodwin  [1, 2]
  Born	17 Sep 1884	Manitowoc County, Wisconsin   [1, 2]
  Gender	Male
  Died	9 Dec 1935	Chicago, Cook County, Illinois   [1, 2]
  Buried	Holy Cross II Cemetery, Mishicot, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin   [2]
  Notes	Jane Zimmerman emailed that "Arthur was working on the Great Lakes boats when the 1930 census was taken, Merchant Marine type of work I guess you'd call it. At the same time the farm Adolph Grimm was running needed farm help because most of his children had left home. As a result, Mary moved back home while Arthur worked the boats. Her sons, Ralph, Everett, Leonard, and Donald were able to do the farm work. The farm was a very nice one, with a large farmhouse making it easy enough to accomodate the extra family. The girls, helped out around the house & garden. It was a very profitable partnership for both sides. The farm is still in the Grimm family, although not run as a family farm. I believe the land is rented out. The buildings are well kept up and very neat. This farm is in the Town of Two Creeks." Jane also indicated that Arthur became ill while working on a ship that docked in Chicago. His niece, Irene Bosanko helped him check into the Marine Hospital where he was operated on for a poisonous goiter, and he died after after the surgery. After his death, his remains were returned to Mishicot for burial.
