Photograph: MM Cohn mausoleum

This is the mausoleum of Mark M. Cohn, the founder of MM Cohn department stores based in Little Rock (the first store was founded in Arkadelphia, Arkansas). The chain was sold to a Ft. Worth based company (The Dunlap Company) in 1989 and eventually all the MM Cohn stores were closed by the end of 2007.

The mausoleum is in the Jewish section of Oakland Cemetery in Little Rock.

Tyro Cemetery

Photo take at Tyro Cemetery in Lincoln County, Arkansas. This was taken in the old section of the cemetery where there is a canopy of cedar trees. The story is that the cedar trees marks unmarked graves. Also, there are a lot of Modern Woodmen of the World markers at this cemetery.
