notes: label: Description
content: This kerosene lamp (patented 1895) was used in the living and dining rooms of the Haggard home in Oklahoma. James F. and Flossie Haggard left Oklahoma in 1935 after a fire destroyed their barn and its contents. The lamp was taken with them in their car and trailer trip to California via Route 66 in 1935. The Haggards and their children, Lillian and James Lowell, made their home near Bakersfield, and James found work with the Santa Fe Railway. Another son, Merle, was born in Bakersfield and began his singing career there.
