Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day - Cochrum

The shot from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor Jeff Balke.

Who is Cochrum? And why does he/she/they get such a nice plot at the Glenwood Cemetery (home of Howard Hughes, William Hobby and Anson Jones)?

We can't be sure, but we wonder if there isn't some relation to the Cochrum's of Kentucky that moved to Texas and brought with them their daughter Ella Cochrum, who later became Ella Fondren, husband of famous Houstonian oil man and philanthropist William Fondren.

And if you think we're crazy, we'd point out that the Fondren family plot is — or was, anyway — also in Glenwood Cemetery.
