[Photograph of Thomas Oren Prater]

Photograph of a young Thomas Oren Prater holding a cap and wearing knee socks, knickers and a waist-suit coat. He is standing next to a table with a vase of flowers on it. A handwritten note on the back of the photo identifies the boy as Oren Prater. Oren was born 26 October 1909 to William Erb Prater and Mary "Mollie" Francis Stone. According to the 1920 census, the Prater family was living in Garden Valley, Texas. Mr. Prater had previously been a farmer, but made a living by working as a rural mail carrier. Oren was also the grandson of Richard Wesley Prater and Margaret Almeda Harpole (see photos of the Prater family in our collection).
