Do a google search "Monroe City The Town Oil built". A book about The Anahuac Humble camp is available from the Wallisville Heritage Park. It's a good one. The name Gene Buck appears on page 131. I lived in this camp in 1949-1954. My name is at the top left of page 197. I also lived in West Columbia camp from 1947-1949 , and the Friendswood camp(across old Galveston hwy from Ellington AFB) from 1943-1947. I have visited folks in the following camps: Navasota, Lovell Lake, Tomball, Hull, Webster, Anahuac(not Monroe City), Sugarland , Snyder ,Dickenson, Hastings, and Hebbronville.
Gene, just seeing this. I lived in Friendswood camp from 1949 until 1955. My dad, Robert L (RL) Williams worked near by and left each day with a crew from the tool yard. We loved playing in the community park and helped my dad and mom work our garden plot in the community garden. My brother and I have wonderful childhood memories of growing up in “the camp” free to roam and play. We went to school by bus in Genoa Elementary. Camp Kid
