"Their story would make a great movie," according to Delia Brelsford Shiflet. She's talking about the story of her parents, Mary Margaret Womack and Joe Jack Brelsford. The story starts in Oakhurst when Mary's parents, Bertha L. and William A. Womack, moved into the new bungalow at 2508 Primrose in 1928. The Womacks were the original owners of the house, which was built in 1927 and was featured in a booklet, "Our Home in Fort Worth," and on a postcard. The house was theirs for $4,500. From Whitney at the Amon Carter Museum:
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art is pleased to announce that its Research Library will be open to the public on Saturdays from 11am–4pm, beginning on September 7. Complementing the museum’s art collection, the research library offers an extensive range of materials on American art, photography, the West, and history from the early nineteenth century to the present. The library provides support to researchers at all levels interested in deepening their understanding of the country’s artistic heritage. For more information, please call the reference desk at 817.989.5040 or visit http://www.cartermuseum.org/library for a complete list of library hours and Reading Room services. We need your help!
If you or someone you know has pictures and/or stories to share of families, homes, events, and neighbors in Oakhurst (1920s-'60s) or West Oakhurst (1940s-'60s), we would love to include them in the upcoming Fort Worth's Oakhurst Neighborhood, to be published by Arcadia Press. PLEASE contact Libby Willis, [email protected] or 817.838.8140, if you are willing to share stories and imagery for this book. The deadline for inclusion is August 29. Help us celebrate Oakhurst's 90th birthday in 2014 with your contributions to this effort! |
