    Several years after he remarried, Walter took his three children from Oklahoma to his father's home in New Mexico. Barney recalls that each time they passed a large cotton field, Walter would stop and offer their services. The money they earned paid not only for the expenses of the trip, but for the new clothes that the children were wearing in this photo. Barney said that this was the first pair of long pants that he ever owned. Barney and Homer lived for a time in New Mexico, but it is not known if it was at this time, or at a later date.
