This monument was originally cut for "Bill Bodey", Father of the
Town. But in December 1881 the following article appeared in
the local paper:
"A Good Proposition. There was some talk on the streets Monday
in the direction of raising a subscription to buy the monument
which was cut a couple of years ago in Bodie and have it erected
in the cemetery in honor of the late President Garfield. Why
not direct a monument to Bill Bodey -- he was the father of this
town?."
The fickle public did take and use the monument meant for Bill
Bodey and erected it to the memory of President Garfield, while
the remains of Bill Bodey rested in an unmarked grave....
