Description
This photograph was taken by my father, Darrel Keahey, back in the 50's. It is a photo taken at the Garber-Covington oil field which still exist today but doesn't look anything like in this old picture. The building in the background was called the pump house. It housed a huge motor. The motor pulled several of these cables that where attached to these shallow oil pumps to pull the pump up and down. My grandparents and dad lived on this farm; grandpa was hired by Sinclair Oil Company to maintain this pump house.
