BODELL -
My Dad, Richard Ben Bodell, born Feb. 4, 1927(yr?) in West Virginia died July 4, 1996 in
Virginia. Things I know - grew up in Princeton. His father and mother both died before I was
born...therefore I know very little about them. His siblings- Russell, Robert (Bobby), William
(Bill), Betty, Margaret.. I think his father was in the plumbing business... His brother Bobby
Bodell lived and owned mechanical contracting business in Princeton (old Ingalls or
Ingallside Road??) until his death a few years back.

BENNETT, WRIGHT -
Seeking information on Oscar L. Bennett. He is listed in the South Eastern Reporter as the
defendent in a Supreme Court of Appeals of W. Va. in a case evolving in Mercer County regarding
support of an illegitimate child (Wright vs. Bennett 05/07/1922). The plaintiff in that case is
Amelia Wright - She would be my great grandmother, and the illegitimate child would be my
grandmother, Olive Wright. I have found some info on an Oscar Bennett who was the
police chief in Bramwell - I have no idea if that's the same Oscar Bennett or not.
