Cemetery 1 Charles W. ALLUM

  General Notes:

Photo: Although somewhat damaged, this is the way the gravestone for Charles W. Allum appeared when in the Allum Cemetery on his property. The stone and Charles' remains were moved to Enon Cemetery in 1981. By that time his stone was in a few pieces and was set, piece by piece, in concrete at Enon. See a photo of the stone as it now appears at Enon Cemetery ("Charles W. Allum, Cemetery 2").
