Bodine, Harry D. (sold)
Harry D. Bodine (October 3, 1894 - February 3, 1942) was an American engineer and Army veteran. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Bodine arrived in Indianapolis in 1913 and not long after enlisted in the U.S. Army for a three-year enlistment. He re-enlisted in the army engineer corps in 1916. At the outbreak of World War I, Bodine held the rank of master engineer sergeant, senior grade. Bodine was among the first enlisted men deployed to Europe under the command of General John J. Pershing. He roomed with Captain Eddie Rickenbacker (who would become the most successful fighter ace of the war with twenty-six aerial victories and a recipient of the Medal of Honor) while crossing the Atlantic and ultimately served under General Pershing in Europe for twenty-eight months. Bodine returned to Indianapolis after World War I and became the cartographer for the Indiana State Highway Commission soon after his return. He held this position until his death from a heart attack, which he suffered while giving a lecture at the Oriental Masonic lodge at the age of forty-eight. He was survived by his wife Agnes and their two sons.
