"Known for watercolor paintings that depict people in their environmentand associated with the California Style of regional painting, OliveBarker was born in Chicago, Illinois but grew up in Omaha, Nebraska.
She studied at the Paris branch of the New York School of Fine andApplied Art and at the Oberlin, Ohio Conservatory of Music. Returning toOmaha, she became a pupil of J. Laurie Wallace and met her husband,George Edmund Barker, while taking classes from Wallace.

GEORGE BARKER (1882-1965)
by Nancy Dustin Wall Moure
---------------------------------------------------------------------
George Barker, painter and art teacher, is the latest artist to berediscovered in the study of Southern California's plein air landscapemovement of the early twentieth century. Son of an Omaha real estateinvestor and broker, Barker studied in his hometown with painter/sculptorJohn Laurie Wallace (1864-1953). When it came time for advanced traininghe asked permission of Wallace's teacher, Philadelphia artist ThomasEakins (1844-1916), to study with him. Because Eakins was not teachingpublicly in 1906, Barker ended up in Paris. Although the city was ahotbed of avant garde experimentalists (these are the years Cubism wasborn) Barker spent his year at the conservative Grande Chaumiere and theColorossi School under Andre L'hote and Edwin Scott where he learnedsound drawing skills and loosened, expressive brushwork.
After his return in 1911, Barker "settled down," marrying fellow Omahaartist Olive Carpenter, daughter of a paper manufacturer (who he met inWallace's art classes) and taking up art teaching. In 1921, with Americaenjoying nationwide post-War prosperity, Barker moved his family (thatnow included a son) to Long Beach California. In 1923 he appears in thePolytechnic High School yearbook Caerulea as one of three art teachersand remains on the faculty through 1929.
Long Beach, adjacent to the port of Los Angeles was booming. And,although the beach city did not obtain an art museum until decades later,an art community was beginning to take shape. The Long Beach ArtAssociation came into being in 1924, and art exhibitions were heldregularly at the Public Library in the Main and Alamitos branches, at theMunicipal Auditorium, at the Villa Riviera and at various women's clubs.Art activities sped up in the late 1920s when the city hosted the PacificSouthwest Exposition in 1928 that had its own art gallery and when thePress Telegram ran an art column written by Alice Maynard Griggs and inits Rotogravure section occasionally reproduced portraits of artists andtheir paintings. Art organizations that formed in the late 1920s includethe Spectrum Club (for men artists) in 1929 and the Wayside Art Colony (acluster of studios for craftsmen) c. 1930. One of the most activeadvocates of art was Josephine E. Hyde, Art Chairman of the city'sRecreation
Commission who organized frequent shows of California artists at theRecreation Park Clubhouse and founded the Women's Sketch Club (possiblythe same as the Recreation Commission Sketch Club) before 1930.
At Polytechnic High School Barker supervised graphic arts. Photographs inthe Caerulea show him to be a small man, nattily dressed in light coloredsuits wearing round glasses, looking more like an accountant than anartist. Barker also led an active private art career. He maintained astudio in Long Beach, exhibited in the first exhibition of the Long BeachArt Association in July 1924, contributed to most of the city's groupexhibitions, and occasionally was honored with one man shows. Hisspecialty was landscape, and titles of paintings show he traveled widelyaround the Southland for subjects.
In 1929 the Barkers seem to have come into money. When the rest of thecountry was reeling from the stock market crash, George Barker quit histeaching job, and he and Olive went on an extended European tour. Ontheir return they settled in Pacific Palisades, a new luxury community onthe cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean immediately north of SantaMonica, where they built a large home and one studio on Alma Real Drive.(A second studio was erected for George in the fall of 1934.) ThePalisades were still sparsely built during these years, and Barker andhis artist neighbor Hugo Ballin(1879-1956) were slowly joined over thedecade by a few other artists, primarily motion picture people who couldafford the area. The lack of artists makes it clear why Barker attachedhimself artistically to the older and more artistically activeneighboring community of Santa Monica where he started and was firstpresident of the Santa Monica Art Association in 1929. Through the 1930snotices frequently appear on the couple in the local newspaper Palisadianeither in regard to the exhibition of their paintings in various showsaround the Los Angeles basin or to the events that they sponsored attheir home to raise funds for various interests such as the Santa Monicaphilharmonic, a republican candidate, and the American-Japan studentconference of 1937. Barker was an advocate of the Santa Monica MountainsProtective Association and lectured passionately against fires thatdestroyed it.
The 1930s were a rich time artistically for both Barkers. While theystill occasionally exhibited in Long Beach, they joined many Los Angelesproper art organizations and exhibited annually with the California ArtClub. (Olive Barker, who developed a unique 'thin paper' technique forher watercolors in which the paper is crinkled to give added texture tothe painting, also exhibited with the California Water Color Society.)George's prime subject was landscapes of Southern California found fromLaguna Beach to the
Palisades on the Pacific Coast and extending to the deserts alongCalifornia's eastern border. Prior to the late 1920s, California' s hotand inhospitable deserts only attracted artists who were loners ormavericks or who needed the dry air to cure tuberculosis or some otherailment. But as the greater Los Angeles basin lost its virgin hills tofarms, towns and residential developments, artists were forced furtheronto the periphery. New roads, especially those built by federal reliefprojects in the 1930s opened up the deserts to the newly popularautomobile, and it became fashionable to make excursions after the springrains to view the wildflowers. Resorts began to develop at places likePalm Springs, which became a playground for Hollywood personalities.
Goldfield Galleries owns several hundred oil-on-canvasboard sketches,most measuring 10 x 12 in., that Barker made between c. 1930 and hisdeath. 1. The reverse of many are inscribed in pencil with the place anddate showing us that he ranged widely over California's southern deserts.2 Several of these bear the name Corona, a rural town east of Los Angeleswhere the Barkers had a ranch home and did much of their work; others areof nearby Temescal. From there Barker could fan out over four majorroutes that penetrated the deserts. By going south on highway 71 he couldreach the Borrego Desert east of San Diego. By taking former Route 66(current day Interstate 15) north out of San Bernardino he could reachBaldy Mesa, Victorville, and Barstow in the Mojave desert, placesinscribed on his paintings. From Barstow, taking old US 91-466 towardsLas Vegas, he could access the road into Death Valley.
Eastward from Corona ran US 60-70 (current Interstate 10) from which hecould get State 111 to Palm Springs or go directly to Indio. From Indiohe could take US 99 south towards the Mexican border passing other sitesat which he painted including Mecca, Painted Canyon and ChocolateMountains.
Barker camped on most of these sketching trips. Some seem to have beenmade with the Spectrum Club, the group of men painters of Long Beach. Oneparticular notation on the reverse of an undated sketch informs us of hisequipment: 2 bedrolls, 5 blankets (3 army, 1 double gray trim, 1 single),center pole lower, 1 tent and stakes, tripod, large umbrella, 2 extensionpoles, 2 stools (folding), one 16 x 20 in. paint box, 1 pair high shoes,tan, 1 gal coal oil, tools-nails, 2 sweaters back of seatfront, 1 gunnysack with tools, mosquito netting front, old smock, red ... pillow, rags,1 wash basin, first aid (.. films, soda...), camera, mirror. He appearsto be proud that his landscapes were painted on the spot since the factis mentioned in some reviews of his shows.
Most of his trips were made in April and May with sometimes a desert tripin January or February.
Barker canvases are so rare that in the last ten years at auction lessthan ten have appeared. The several hundred sketches owned by GoldfieldGalleries give us a first- hand view, like sketches by any
artist, of Barker's artistic goals. He seemed interested in capturingmoods and colors and general contours of terrain with quick and broadsweeps of the brush. As a camper he was privy to a wide range ofatmospheric conditions from extraordinarily colorful sunrises andsunsets, to haze caused by dust storms, to incredible clarity after rainand wind. In the later 1930s some of his landscape sketches take onunnatural colors implying he is experimenting with modernist colortheories. Besides landscapes, Barker painted several abstract,Kandinsky-like paintings composed of floating lozenges, circles,rectangles, egg shapes, arcs, and parallel wavy lines, whose colors rangefrom mauves offset with blue and yellow to silver and green offset withyellow and pink. During the war years Barker, then 58, taught art torecouperating soldiers at the Veterans Administration Hospital inSepulveda, and he seems to have curtailed his sketching trips since nosketches exist with dates of 1941, 1942 or 1943. In the last seven or soyears of Barker' s life dated still lifes and monochromatic landscapessuggest that he was doing most of his work in the studio.
The Barkers had one son, George Barker Jr. who probably attendedPolytechnic High in Long Beach when Barker taught there, and, after thefamily moved to the Palisades, went to the nearby University ofCalifornia at Los Angeles (whose ground had only been broken in the mid1920s). In spring 1935 he was invited to join Phi Beta Kappa, spent agraduate year (Fall 1935-Spring 1936) at Columbia University in New Yorkstudying journalism, and the following summer obtained a job on the SantaMonica Outlook. Having predeceased his parents, in 1958 the Barkersestablished the George Carpenter Barker Memorial Prayer Garden at theEpiscopal St. Matthews Church in Pacific Palisades . [note: sadly thechurch and grounds were destroyed in a fire in 1878]
Much has yet to be learned about both George and Olive Barker. To dateeach seems to have maintained his/her own artistic integrity: Georgeemphasizing landscapes and teaching while Olive painted in watercolor andpreferred figures and still lifes to landscapes. More research definitelyneeds to be done, but this first study shows they deserve a place inSouthern California art history.

Gilbert Carpenter has many "15 minutes of fame" in his lifetime. He was an active politician and served as a delegate to the Republicanconventions; he had some rather famous friends; worked at Carpenter PaperCompany for many years and, after he retired, built a company calledWilkinson Mfg. Co. The story about Wilkinson is worth repeating. It wasstarted in 1953 as a wheelbarrow manufacturer--"the toughestlongest-lasting wheelbarrow made," by Ben and Earl Wilkinson who werebased in Fort Collins, Colorado. In search of someone to run theNebraska works, they were referred to Gilbert Carpenter in 1947 andduring the next five months produced 6,500 wheelbarrows. After theKorean War, metal supplies were limited and Ben Wilkinson sold out.Gilbert met Fred Arkoosh and he joined him in the business. The companyevolved into stamped metal parts and made aluminum pie pans for theever-growing TV Dinner producer, Swanson Foods. Then the companyreceived a contract to make mortar shell components, M141 fin assemblyand 81 mm steel fin assembly were in full production by 1953. Thecompany also made truck refrigeration equipment and magnetic hydraulicoil filters.
Fred Arkoosh Sr. died in 1992 and his son, Fred Arkoosh Jr. died in 1998of cancer. He was 53.
The 1910 Census has the young family living at 415 North 39th Street. Iwonder if they were living with the Senior Carpenters?
The 1930 Douglas Co., NE, Omaha City, Dundee Precinct lists: Gilbert E.Carpenter (45, married at 24, IL/IL/IL); Ellen C. (45 married at 23,Co/MD/MD; Joseph F. (20 NE/IL/Co) and Jesse Holliday (Eng/Eng/EngGardner) living at 404 -69th Avenue.
The oldest of the secret societies in Omaha was the Odd Fellows, thefirst lodge was established in 1856. My grandfather was a member.
In a little book by Alfred Sorenson, "Early History of Omaha" published1876, we learn Omaha was first visited by Lewis and Clark arriving at themouth of the Platte in the latter part of July 1804, the party held acouncil with six representatives of various Indian Tribes. The spot wasFort Calhoun or Fort Akinson as it would be called. It was probably thespot of an old trading post but it was not the site now known as CouncilBluffs.
The Mormons started across the Missouri River during the years 1845 and1846. They located a settlement of over 15,000 people six miles northof Omaha calling the place Winter Quarters later changed to Florence.The Indians complained that the Mormons were cutting too much timber andthey were ordered off the land.
Omaha seemed to have a history before it had a name. The majority of thefirst inhabitants of Omaha came over from Council Bluffs now the stoppingplace on treks west.
In 1854, a treaty was signed with the Indians, Otoes, The Missouri's, andthe Omaha's. Logan Fontenelle was the chief then of the Omaha tribe.

Ellen "Ellie" Clabaugh
Dearest, Nana, rest in peace. How do I begin to describe this lovelylady? She could beat the socks off of anyone in backgammon. She lovedto fish. She never took a drink or an aspirin. Wore no makeup and wasdevoted to her friends and family. She tolerated about everything inanyone and always found the best in them. She had great business sensebut lived in an era when it wasn't valued of women. She was my anchorand my mentor. I traveled "east" with her when I was about five. Wespent the summer at Antrim and Spring Lake on the Ocean. Old trains, onewith open cars carried us to Maryland. I had a polka dotted bathing suitand adored the seashore. As I got older, wherever I was, I came home toNana's. She'd spoil me, loan me her car, send my $50 a month andencouraged me at every point in my life. When my father died, her worldseemed to fall apart and she was quite a while catching her breath. Herheart was as big as the world she never got to visit. I hope I never lether down. I held her hand while she died and watched as her chest roseand fell all the while she was smiling. I didn't understand how much atthe time I had lost but my world also came apart. I miss her more everysingle day.
She was devoted to her ancestors and to Taneytown, Maryland. She wasevery bit a Scots lady: strong, thrifty, passionate, and loyal. I toldher once that I thought we were German because of the Clabaugh line. Shesaid that was not true, we were not German.
In remembering times together, she took me to confirmation class, bridgegroups, the grocery store (where she would give the clerk her order andjust wait as they filled it), doctors, dentists, school and on and on.My fondest memory involves times spent at 310 South 53rd Street. Awonderful old stone home built by the Drew Family who were noted Omahaantique sellers. We moved to be beside her house on Pine Street andthose days are also cherished.
Nana attended a private college called St. Mary's. At one time, Knoxvillewas the home of several private universities. In 1859, Ewing FemaleUniversity was built just north of James Knox Park. It closed in 1867 andwas reopened April 12, 1868 as St. Mary's School by the ProtestantEpiscopal Church. At the university, young women were taught character,scholarship and refinement. The school was destroyed by fire on Jan. 4,1883 and was immediately rebuilt. Only the chapel, which was underconstruction from 1881 to 1888, escaped the blaze. In 1888, anobservatory was built. It had a sliding dome that moved on a track. Thetelescope had a six-inch glass lens made by Alvin Clark and Sons ofCambridge, Mass.
Many of the girls attending St. Mary's were from the Chicago area. Theschool had a swimming pool, bowling alley and large theater. South of theschool was a private park lined with trees and surrounded by an ironfence. The girls would often stroll along Syringa Lane, go horsebackriding or take boat rides on the pond.
The main building closed in the early 1930's because it was in need ofrepairs. It was demolished in 1936. All that remains today is the chapeland observatory. The park area was purchased by the City of Knoxville andis now known as James Knox Park. The brick sidewalks and fence are goneand much of the pond has filled in with sediment over the years.
The observatory is now a private residence. Two bedrooms and a partialbasement have been added, but the original building can still bedistinguished from the addition. The tracks were removed, but the domeremains.
The Chapel is also privately owned, but has been kept intact. Every year,hundreds of school children visit it and occasionally a wedding is stillheld there. Recently, two former students visited the chapel, providingmembers of the Knox County Historical Sites with additional informationabout the last two years the school was open.
Notes from a recording with Nana:
"George Clabaugh went East to see his sister Lucy every spring. HarryClabaugh lived in Westminister, MD and then moved to Washington. Hewould summer at Antrim. Nana would visit.
Didn't know how George and Ann met. George Clabaugh died August 1926.He died of poisoning. Ann had been dead 10 years He lived alone. Hewent to Philadelphia and was ill at the hospital.
He was just named George...he just kept the Washington because it soundedgood.
Aunt Lucy was in love with Doctor Birnie but the failed to marry. Henever married anybody.
Events after the got married: lived in Colorado then went toPhiladelphia worked for United Gas Improvement and they sent him to Omahaand he stayed.
Cousin George lived near Philadelphia and tried to jump into a boat butit was coming in and he nearly jumped over it. Aunt Helen's son, Frank.
Spring Lake: went every other summer for many years. Had a wonderfultime. Road bicycles. Nana didn't swim then.
Her grandmother ran a boarding house on the other side of the lake.Ellen Kemp Clabaugh spent every winter with the Carpenters. She was abeautiful woman and she never failed to be dressed properly. She alwayswore a hat and a veil. She was a lady. It was a time when help wascheap and plentiful. She taught Nana to play backgammon. She traveledby train.
Sympathetic talker, interested in Nana's plans. Called her Nana' and allof the children called Nana' and George called her Ma. She went tochurch every week (Episcopalian).
Ann was born at Glenburn, MD, youngest of 8 children. Ann wasPresbyterians.
George Clabaugh Sr. left very little when he died and had a large balancehe owed. Uncle Harry went to work, married Katherine Swope, and theylived in Westminister. Katherine had the money to buy Antrim. GeorgeJr. went to college for several years.
Ellen Kemp Clabaugh didn't want Nana's wedding guests to be people shedidn't know. She didn't want her father's working people invited andthey were never invited. That was just about the last time she came tovisit.
Bapa's family all came to the wedding and Nana became very close to hisfamily. He had 8 uncles. Bapa's father was the second son of 7 and hisfather's name was Joseph Franklin Carpenter (named for his mother'sfather). They were from Illinois.
Aunt Lucy and Uncle Ad were a great pair. They lived in Philadelphiabuilt up 4 flights and spent every summer in Spring Lake.
George W. Clabaugh bought a slave and she would run the house. She livedthe rest of her life with cousin Ellen Henderson (?).
Mama was 3rd wife of George Clabaugh. He was quite young when his fatherdied. He rode the range for a year out west. Ranch in Wyoming. About1880. He had an eye problem and all his life he had to have medical carefor it.
Nana's father went to school in Gettysburg but couldn't stay because ofhis eye.
Tape from Cousin Ellen: visit that Mother made with M. Hendersonmarriage of Mr. Cox took part at 2120 Spruce Street. They were marriedunder two flags because she was English.
Asked of Mrs. Pettis where she stayed. Written a few notes. When was MaMa at the World's Fair?
