Artist's Description
This photo was taken in downtown Gladewater, Texas, of a replica derrick honoring the 1931 oil boom and reflecting a great respect for natural resources. On April 7, 1931, the first Gladewater oil well blew in. It was located one mile outside town in the Sabine River bottom. Oil production led to a population increase during the 1930s from about 500 persons to around 8,000. The Old Snavely No. 1 derrick replica is displayed adjacent to the railroad tracks, which run through downtown. You can also see antique shops in the background of this photo. Gladewater is known now as "The Antique Capital of East Texas."
About Kathy White
I have always loved to take pictures. My first job, at age 16, was receptionist for our local newspaper, but the owners soon included me in taking photos, darkroom and writing articles. Years later, a terrible event in my personal life brought back a love of taking photos that I had not been pursuing to any great extent. My only child passed away at the age of 22. He was such a wonderful guy and I feel blessed that God chose me to be his mom. Reeling from his death, I sought some sort of diversion, needing to get my mind focused on anything besides my great loss. After a bad fall that resulted in surgery, I was recuperating at home and stir crazy. My husband took me out for drives in the country. We bought a new digital camera...
