RODMAN
CEMETERY Located near the center of Kenilworth
S/D MB 2 P 4, in the vicinity of Block 60.
Take CR 310 west of SR 19 approximately 3 miles to Florida Road on
right. Turn right on Florida Road,
cross Porter Street, and continue approximately 1/2 mile to a barbed wire
fence and gate. Do not go through
gate, but turn left and go down road outside of fence approximately 900 feet
to 1st grave area on right side of road.
This site is approximately 90 feet from the road and contains three
grave headstones with no distinguishable writing on any of the markers. They are close to the only palm tree in
the vicinity. The second grave is on
right side of road and across fence approximately 210 feet north of the
first group. This grave has four
metal poles and a fence around it.
Continue down road approximately 400 feet to cemetery on left of
road. Three graves are next to road
and a fourth grave, to the right and beyond the first three. This group of graves is located just
before what looks like the old Ocala to Palatka railroad bed, possibly the
Ocklawaha Valley RR. There may be
other graves in the area. This cemetery was created when Rodman
Lumber Company was in full swing and there was a large steam powered sawmill
and the town of Rodman with a post office, hotels, etc. In the early 1900s, the Rodman Lumber
Company and the Cummings family played an important role in the history and
development of western Putnam County.
When the original survey was done in
1984 that this list is derived from, some “old timers”-- long since
deceased, recalled that at one time there were more than 100 markers in the
cemetery. The place is now
completely overgrown and the surveyors could find scant evidence of the
numerous graves that must be there.
