Author: greenwic My grgr grandfather, Jacob Odom, died some time after 1870, is on 1870 census in Honey Grove with his son Aaron Odom, but Jacob is not found on 1880 census. I believe he died in Fannin Co., near Honey Grove. Mary Odom (Odam), Jacob's wife is on 1880 living with grndson,Jacob Culver, Hunt co, Wolf City, TX. I can not find grave for Mary either. Do you have any idea which cemetery I could look in, please give me the web site. Thanks for your help and time. Imo Greenwood Imo... I searched my Oakwood file (which is still not loaded to txfannin.org) but found not a single Odom or Odam. I even searched for Odem, Odum and Odim to be on the safe side. I searched Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Wolfe City and found only one J. A. Odom but he/she was not born until 1879. There is another Odom in Greenwood Cemetery but she is an Elizabeth no your Jacob or Mary. I also searched the Lamar county Database http://theusgenweb.org/tx/lamar/cemetery/ and got 13 Odom hits but none for Jacob or Mary. Honey Grove is barely over the line into Fannin County from Lamar county so it is always a good idea to check Lamar for Honey Grove folks. Other cemeteries in the same part of the county as Honey Grove are Allens Chapel and Allens Point, Windom and McCraw's Chapel. Odoms are not turning up in those currently...but we are working on updating several of these. I've just finished one cemetery where lots of older stones showed up for the first time on the list....so there is always hope. There were also many small family cemeteries in the area. I'll keep my Odom Eyes peeled. Suzie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
