MEMORIAL PHOTOS 0 FLOWERS 1 Sarah Rea Odell, first wife of George Washington Odell, Jr, is buried at the homeplace of George Washington Odle, Sr and Nellie Brim Odle.
My grandmother told this to my Mother and also Cassie Odell and Lena Snow knew this and they found it back in the 1950's. Then they tried to find it again about 20 years later they couldn't because the road had changed and a lot of logging had been done.
There were only fieldstones for grave markers so we are going by what our parents and grandparents told us.
Buried there were:
George Washington Odle, Sr and his wife Nellie Brim Odle.
William Wesley Odle, son of George Washington Odle, Sr and Nellie Brim Odle.
Sarah Rea Odle and 2 babies that belonged to her and George Washington Odell, Jr.
