More of the Pearson Side

I think the first three pictures are already on the "This is My Life" blog in one form or an other. Below is a picture of my Dad, probably in the early 1920's. Dad and his brother George worked in the oil fields for a while and then headed to New Orleans to get a job on a freighter and see the world. That did not work out and they heard about the oil boom around Houston and went there. In the 1930 census they were sharing a room in Houston.



Dad worked for Continental Oil in Houston in the 1920's and the 1930's.



The horse that Dad is riding is probably Uncle Earle's horse. The horse lived at out place for a while.



My parents in an out of focus picture from their Honeymoon Trip to Arkansas. This is at Mom's Oldest Brother Ed and his wife Bert's home. The Edward in my name is after Uncle Ed. Oddly I am most like his brother, Bruce. I have always felt a connection with that part of the family.



Last is a picture I have no information on. Do not know who the boy is or where the picture is taken. Might be in Arkansas. Would like to know about this picture.
