It started, as good quests always do, with a family tale.

Almeda Faulkner (James, Matthew, Wm Bull, James, William) was born in Middletown, Orange Co, New York about 1847, to parents James Faulkner and Margaret Greer.

Almeda married John L Bodine (1837-1888) about 1868 most likely in Middletown, Orange Co, New York. 

The couple had five children: all born Orange Co, New York

• Ethel Bodine b. 5 Dec 1886 d. 3 Feb 1961 never married

Not much is known of Almeda, she had bronchial trouble, asthma perhaps. Almeda's mother died shortly after the birth of her younger brother and her father quickly remarried, soon adding 4 more children to the family. 

 Almeda and her husband belonged to the Congregational Church.

John Bodine worked for the Erie Railroad as a flagman and conductor. He was tragically killed when the boiler of a locomotive exploded. He died April 6, 1888 in Craigville, New York without a will. Burial is unknown at this time. He was just 51 years old.

Almeda Faulkner Bodine was left to raise her young family as a widow, residing near her parents and siblings. She too left the world early. Her obituary says she died "of bronchial trouble" and was "in her 51st year". Almeda did leave a will dividing the household goods and property among the children, and providing support for the children that were still minors. Almeda died in the morning of December 10, 1897 at her home, and is buried in Hillside Cemetery in Middletown, Orange Co, New York.

Finding Faulkner: The Progeny | Mary Helen Horton {Gen 4}

It started, as good quests always do, with a family tale.

Mary Helen Horton (Harrison F Horton, Margaret, Samuel, William) was born in Newburgh, Orange Co, New York, February 3rd 1840, to parents Harrison Faulkner Horton and Emily Coleman.

Mary married Giles C Burnham (1830-1900) on June 8th 1864 in either Michigan or New York.

The couple had three children: all born Kalamazoo, Michigan

• Harrison Horton Burnham b. 27 Jun 1869 d. 27 Aug 1870
• Anna Horton Burnham b. 17 Feb 1872 d. 13 Dec 1924 never married
• Mary W Burnham b. 22 Jan 1876 d. UNK m. Oscar E Jacobs

Giles was drafted for the Civil War in 1863, but I am unsure if he ever served. 

Giles was a bookkeeper by profession, Mary was a housewife.

Giles C Burnham died in March of 1900 in Kalamazoo, MI. He was 69 years old. Giles is buried in Mountain Home Cemetery in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Mary Helen Horton Burnham died September 30th 1922 in Kalamazoo, MI. She was 82 years old. Mary is buried in Mountain Home Cemetery in Kalamazoo, MI alongside her husband.
