Also, I have the McDowell County, NC cemetery books and in them I found an Odear Cemetery, located in the Turkey Cove-Little Switzerland area.There are 12 unmarked graves but two that are listed.Names are:Nancy A. Odear born June 11, 1850 - died June 25, 1882, wife of James Odear.Second grave listed is:Ellen Odear, born Nov. 15, 1898 - died Sept. 15, 1900.It gives the directions to this cemetery.
I wonder if this might be James Odear's wife Althea?Could her name be Nancy Althea ( gravestone has nancy A. wife if James Odear). On their marriage license is listed Althea Medford.I assume she went by Lethia.
