Rudolph Heinrich Wilhelm "Bill" Bode was the son of Wilhelm Bode and his first wife, Albertine Jahnke Bode.
Wilhelm "Bill" Bode was baptized October 20, 1866, by Pastor Christoph Geiger in Salem Lutheran Church in Washington County, Texas. His baptismal sponsors were Wilhelmine Zschapel, Wilhelm Spreen, and Rudolph Jahnke.
Wilhelm "Bill" Bode was confirmed March 21, 1880, by Pastor Friedrich Jesse in Eben Ezer Lutheran Church in Berlin, Washington County, Texas.
Bill Bode married Emma Engelage on Oct. 23, 1887, in Eben Ezer Lutheran Church of Berlin, Washington Co., Tx; Pastor J. H. Sieck performed the marriage ceremony, and their witnesses were Wilhelm and Wilhelmine Engelage Rosenbaum.
Bill and Emma were the parents of two sons, Willi and Oscar, and of a daughter who died at the age of five days. On November 8, 1887, Bill and Emma Bode purchased a 125-acre farm in the Zionsville Community of Washington County that was half of the property of Bill's late grandparents, Friedrich and Dorothea Schawe Jahnke, who had originally purchased the property on June 14, 1866.
Bill Bode was accidentally shot and killed at a dance in the Long Point community of Washington Co. He lived 10 minutes after being shot. He was buried on his farm in the Zionsville Community. His grave was originally marked by a wooden cross. A granite marker was placed on his grave in the summer of 2009. A memorial marker for Wilhelm was placed at the grave of his son, Oscar, in the Prairie Lea Cemetery in Brenham in 1999. Bill's sister, Wilhelmine Bode Rosentreter, said that her brother always wanted to die with his boots on, and he did.

OBITUARY FROM THE BANNER PRESS, SEPTEMBER 20, 1892
Sunday there was a fest at Miller's Pasture near Long Point about 12 or 15 miles northwest of here (Brenham). The fest was concluded with a ball at night, and the ball ended with the tragic death of Mr. Wm. Bode, at 12:03 Monday morning. The particulars of the tragedy were gathered from various parties present of near there, all from friends of the dead man, and are about as follows. It was during the progress of the ball but early in the evening when Messr. John and Sam McLin and Bedford Wood arrived and they had not been there long when it became apparent that they were there to run things their own way or clean out any or all that raised objections to their free and high-handed way of running the ball.
They first had a clash with Mr. Fritz Kramer upon whom they drew a big knife and invited him out in the road, he of course refusing to go.
Their next disturbance was with Mr. Otto Krohoski, Mr. Ben Frank interposing, when they retired a short distance from the platform and cursed out the crowd in general.
Mr. Miller ordered them off the premises, it being his pasture, where the fest was held, and insisted that they must leave. They were 100 yards from the platform and about 50 from the beer stand when Mr. Wm. Bode and Steve Lewis, a colored man working around the stand, went down where they were to try and get them off, and the negro says that when in about ten feet of them there was a slight scuffle among the three, and he said he heard one of them say, "give me the pistol," and about that time the shooting commenced. He went down flat on his stomach at the first shot and lay as close to the ground as possible, but could see Bode and the men shooting. He says Bode begged them to stop shooting not seeming to realize that they were shooting at him, as he remarked you don't want to shoot me, and I shall hold some of you accountable for this hereafter. At the fourth shot Bode staggered and called some of his friends telling them to run to him, he was shot but that they never ceased firing until eight shots had been fired, and then left hurriedly going the road that had come from towards Burton. Bode was taken charge of by his friends and lived just ten minutes, expiring at 12:13 Monday morning, the bullet having gone in at his side and passed through his body to the other side. Neither of the other seven shots striking him.
Mr. Wm. Bode was a young German farmer about 27 years of age and leaves a wife and two children to mourn his tragic death, and since his father's death last Spring, he has been looking after the affairs of the family.
The men accused of the shooting all reside near Burton. The McLin brothers live on Mr. Wm. Hendley's place in half a mile of Burton and Bedford Wood about one mile from there. One of their neighbors says they are pretty "tough" boys, attend all the places of amusement, drink and carouse frequently and that they were apparently under the influence of liquor when they started to the fest Sunday afternoon.
Sheriff Teague left here at three o'clock Monday morning to arrest the parties but at this writing has not returned.

Wilhelm Bode was survived in death by his wife, Emma Engelage Bode; two young sons, Willi Bode (aged 4 years) and Oscar Bode (aged eight months); his sister, Wilhelmine Bode Rosentreter; his half-sister, Sophie Bode Schmidt; two half-brothers, Fritz and John Bode; and his stepmother, Emma Kalbow Bode.
********************************************************************************
Wilhelm Bode was preceded in death by his parents, Wilhelm Bode and Albertine Jahnke Bode; a stepmother, Henriette Spreen Bode; a half-sister, Friederike Bode; and an infant daughter, who died when she was five days old.

FROM THE BRENHAM BANNER NEWS, SEPT. 21, 1892
Sheriff Teague arrested John and Sam McLin and Bedford Wood, charged with the killing of Wm. Bode Sunday night, at their homes near Burton. Monday and Tuesday they were to have an examining trial there before Justice J.J. McCain, but they waived examination and gave bond for their appearance in the sum of $500 each.
The BANNER has already published one side of the story and here gives their version of the affair.
In the first place one of the McLin boys was shot also, and they claim that he was the first man shot. They deny shooting Bode at all, and say that Bode was one of and had always been a good friend of theirs, and that he was coming towards them when the firing opened towards the beer stand where the crowd was and accuse Miller, the owner of the pasture, who had ordered them off, of shooting them. Their opinions is that Bode was killed by careless shooting of the other crowd as the wound was in his side and he was coming towards them, the firing opening from the left, the side on which the ball entered. At the bar one of the McLin's says he was struck on the head with what he believed to be a six shooter just before Miller ordered them to leave and that they were leaving and believed as they do now that Bode as a friend to both sides was coming to urge them to leave and tell them of the danger that threatened them.
Miller, owner of the pasture, was arrested so we learned from County Attorney Rogers and also gave bond in the sum of $500.
Mr. Rogers said from what he could learn that McLin was shot with a 41 calibre revolver, the same size that Bode was killed with and that Bode was just a head of the crowd going down to where the three Burton boys were, when there was some shooting from both sides. Several theories were advanced as to how it all occurred, but an investigation by a grand jury will scarcely show.
Wilhelm "Bill" Bode was baptized October 20, 1866, by Pastor Christoph Geiger in Salem Lutheran Church in Washington County, Texas. His baptismal sponsors were Wilhelmine Zschapel, Wilhelm Spreen, and Rudolph Jahnke.
