    Sessums, an Oktibbeha County Community

    If you would like to contribute to this web page for Sessums, or to the Oktibbeha County Genealogy Web Site in general, please email us at the links at the bottom of this page. We will gladly publish your writings and give you full credit.

    Located in the Eastern Part of the County, Beat 5, Sessums, once a thriving community in the eastern part of Oktibbeha county, is now what we would describe as a sleepy hamlet. It is located on what was the Columbus branch of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, 7 miles by rail from Starkville, the county seat and nearest banking town. Population in 1900 was 27.

    Mrs. Carson Castles has accepted my invitation to write a regular column describing her memories of living in the Sessums Community. I know you will enjoy reading them as much as I have. Below are links
