Check this out – this same urn is on the cemetery’s website website. Turns out it’s beside the marker of “Legendary ‘Old West’ stock detective Tom Horn,” a fact I missed until just now.

It’s a mystery.

I can find out these things about the late Mr. Tullos:
– He was born in Hazelhurst, Mississippi
– He was a farmer
– His wife, Viola, died in 1952
– Viola has a granite marker at her grave
– He was a member of the Church of Christ

What I can’t find out is why his marker is a plastic dishpan, filled with concrete, with a plastic cross planted in it.
