SCHOOL YEAR.

Those who wish to volunteer,

Ninety-four years ago on a farm south of

Midland, a daughter was born to the Locklar

family. She was the couple’s third child and only daughter. They

named this daughter “Eddie Louise.” Other than relatively brief

stays in Grand Falls and in Big Lake, Eddie Lou has lived all her

life in Midland. Eddie Lou’s two older brothers passed away at

an early age, one being killed in a farm accident at age sixteen,

and the other losing his life during World War 2. Her younger

brother passed away in 1985.

Eddie Lou’s husband, Leonard J. Huff, was reared on a ranch in

Ector County near Goldsmith. He passed away in 1992. Their

two daughters, Carolyn Richard and Cindy Bradley, both live

near Eddie Lou’s house south of town on the Rankin Highway.

Eddie Lou’s formal education came at Cotton Flat School,

Cowden Junior High School, and Midland High School. Her

widowed mother also saw that she attended Abilene Christian

College. Eddie Lou enjoyed a long career with a local company

that drafted oil field maps. Charles Pruitt says that when he

started his very first job in Midland with a mapping company, it

was Eddie Lou Huff who taught him how to do “crowquill”

lettering on maps. When the company she had worked with for

so many years decided to transition to computers to draft and

letter maps, Eddie Lou took that as her cue to retire.

Early in life, Eddie Lou attended the Cotton Flat Baptist Church.

Several years ago she came to be a member of the Main Street

Church of Christ, where her daughter Carolyn Richard, and

son-in-law, Don, were already members. Challenges related to

living nine-plus decades of life on earth now limit how much

Eddie Lou leaves her house any more, but she welcomes

visitors – especially those of her physical family and those of

her spiritual family.
