Cemetery Records



These are some Altom Cemetery Records and Inscriptions that I have located. It is a far from complete listing. If anyone knows of any listings that are not found here I will gladly add them to the list. Many of my family members are buried in Union Grove and Cedar Grove so I will begin with my line and continue on from there. However, before I begin-my first entry will be that of my father,Boyd Wayne Altom, the one who, along with my Mother, instilled in me the love of family and whose legacy is still alive in the hearts of family and friends who knew and loved the man I am proud to have had as my father. He was taken from us at a young age, but his memory lives on in our hearts.
