ODOM BOYS WITH DONKEY AND CART:
PICTURE WAS DONATED TO THE WINK MUSEUM BY EMMA ODOM

THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN SOMETIME IN THE 1930'S ABT 1932-1934

IT WAS IN FRONT OF ONE OF THE OIL CAMP OFFICERS, HUMBLE OR STANDARD OR MAYBE ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS THERE

4.  JACK. ODOM (LOUIS JACK) SITTING JUST BEHIND TINY. 


I am Emma Odom, my husband grew up in Wink, TX.  We are trying to trace a picture that hung in the office of one of the Oil Companies. We believe it was Standard,  or maybe Humble. The picture was  of a cart pulled by a donkey,  loaded with boys.  The cart and the donkey belonged to the ODOM boys, there was 4 of them.  My husband was the youngest of them. The year could have been between 1934 to 37.

 It was not unusual to see these boys and  their friend all around Wink and the countryside. The men at a the oil Company took the picture and enlarged it  and it hung in the office.  We wonder where it went from there.

 My husband is the only one of the ODOM boys left.  If we could find a newspaper article about these boys we would be very pleased. Or if the picture itself is still around we would be willing to buy it. Any help you can give us will be appreciated.
