Driving directions to
this cemetery From Highway 16 turn off
on Newton County Rd 316, located between Nail and Deer, there is a sign at the
highway that says Limestone. Follow
this about 5 miles or so passing two not labeled cemeteries (which are Bethel
Clayborn on the left, and Curtis on the right) Odgen is located right on the
county road and you can't miss it located on the left hand side of the
road. The county road is a dirt/gravel
road and so going around and down the mountain is kind of ruff.....
We are trying to collect
obits for as many people as we can, so
if anyone sees their families here we would like to hear from you. Especially if you have anything to add to this
informaiton. Or if you see we have it
noted that we have an obit that you would like for us to share also we have
headstone pictures of all the stones in this cemetery, just e-mail us and we'll
be happy to do what we can to share with you.
There were stones here that were hard to
read, and stones that had been broken, but we've tryed our best to transcribe
as best as we could. Anything below the
transcription in ( ) is stuff we know about the person mentioned and if it is
in ( ) that stuff isn't on the stone.
So use only as a guideline in your own research unless a family contact is
beside it. As we have no way of making
sure the data is 100% correct.
I'm making an alphabetical list at first of
everyone there and under this list is the actual sayings & dates from the
stones. The stones below this listing are as they were in the cemetery. So you
can see who is buried beside whom. But if the name is listed in the
alphabetical listing then they will be in the transcription just look for them.
I hope in doing this it will answer the questions of relatatives being buried
beside relatives etc. As I have no way of knowing who is related to each
other. Enjoy,.....
If anyone has any obits
or actual people pictures you would like to share with us. Or if you know anything
about any of these people feel free to e-mail us at [email protected] We
are trying to make these people as
"real" as possible so even though they lived 100 or more years ago
they truely will be "gone but not forgotten".

Psalms 23
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not want he maketh me to lie down in green pastures He leadeth me beside
the still waters He restoreth my soul He leadeth me in the paths of
rightwousness for His name's sake, yes though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me thou preparest a table before me in th presence of mine enemies
thou anointest my headwith oil my cup runneth over surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me fr the days of my life and i will live in the house of the Lord
forever
