I am researching the name BODLEY and WOOD. Homer S. Bodley and his wife Lydia (Wood) Bodley who were in East Baton Rouge Parish from 1887-1899. Homer was in charge of WOOD, BODLEY and CO., which was a wholesale and retail coal business. It was on the corner of Convention and Front Street in Baton Rouge. Coal was supplied to steamboats and plantations. Six of Homer and Lydia's children were born while they were in Baton Rouge. Children -- Ellison (August 1887), Edith (March 1892), Samuel (March 1894), Susannah (August 1895), Homer (March 1898), and John (June 1900). I feel certain the Bodley family was part of the Methodist Church in East Baton Rouge. Any suggestions on where to find information on the WOOD, BODLEY and CO. business? Would the church have christening records for the children? Their home was located at 205 W. Lafayette Street. Any suggestions for following up on this family would be much appreciated. Thank you so much. ebday@silcom.com
