(title3)

Several of the below individuals are buried in the Cochran Plot in Beebe. Many were in El Paso which is also in White County.
See the following:
Richmond (Richard) Ware Cochran, (this is the one that owned the dry goods store in Beebe), Emily Elizabeth Liles (Bettie), Irene Cochran, - I am unsure of the remaining brothers and sisters of the Cochrans - however, I believe they may all be in the Beebe Cemetary. I hope this is helpful and not too much information! There is some great stuff here. If you discover anything, please let me know!
Sincerely,
Terry Rice Clark
