Wanda Finley Roe of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, is standing beside the gravemarker for her grandfather, Azariah Taylor "Shelt" Cockrum in the Cockrum Cemetery. The picture was taken by Emmmett Dolan Acklin in 2008. The monument for "Shelt" Cockrum was made by Mrs. Roe's father, Melvin Finley. He made two other similar monuments--one for Mollie Cockrum, Shelt's Widow, in the Norfork Cemetery, and one for his father that is in a Tennessee cemetery.
