This picture was found on eBay, 2001. The ad proclaimed: "This is one wild looking sheriff, has that thousand yard stare. Photo is permanently mounted on an old metal frame. Frame measures 8" X 6". On the back is written, Everette Washam, Sheriff, Cotton Plant Arkansas, 1903-1909." I believe this is Emmett Lawrence Worsham who, in 1935, was a watchman in Little Rock, AR. His son, Emmett Leon Worsham, died May 1976 Cotton Plant, Woodruff, AR.
