Odum City Cemetery
Odum, Wayne County, Georgia


The Odum City Cemetery is located on Tillman Street, south of U.S. Highway 341, in Odum, Georgia. There is a small sign on the south side of Highway 341, just east of the main intersection, indicating where to turn. Follow Tillman Street out of town and the cemetery is a couple of miles south of town on the left.

There are several Odums buried in this cemetery. Most Odum graves are located between the two dirt roads leading into the cemetery.

Photographs and information from the Odum headstones are shown below. There are others, according to the cemetery surveys, so this should not be interpreted as a complete listing. Click on the "headstone" links to view the photos.  There is also an overview of the cemetery. These photographs were taken in July 2008.
