Isaac Franklin Bodle 1859 - 1952 Taught at Keystone Academy in Factoryville Pennsylvania

One of the photos in my great grandfather's collection of photographs from Keystone Academy in 1890-1891 is identified on the back as Prof. I.F. Bodel

A quick check of the 22nd Annual of Keystone Academy and Ladies, Institute  Factoryville PA  1890-91 indicates that Issac F Bodle was a member of the Board of Instruction.

  1. A wonderful idea to get these photos out online for descendants to discover! You might consider adding it to Find-a-Grave also.

  2. Great idea! I'm also trying to find people who have them in their trees on Ancestry and letting them know I have the photos available. Thanks :-)
