Birth Date Source: 1900 U.S. Census Record, Year: 1900; Census Place: Leonard, Fannin, Texas; Roll: 1633; Page: 6B; Enumeration District: 0066; FHL microfilm: 1241633
Death Date Source: O.D. Abston, folk artist, article, The Knoxville News Sentinel, 01 Jun 1997
"Abston has been earning a living painting in one form or another for longer than most people live. Looking at his art, which is painted on large rolled-up, wrinkled canvases, is like looking into the pages of a Sunday school lesson. But biblical stories do not represent all of his repertoire. Abston paints scenes from memory, many from his rough and ragged childhood. He was only 6 years old when his mother, Edna Burnfield, died in Leonard in 1909. The oldest of six children, O.D. was one of two to survive past childhood.
``When your mother dies, you lose your family," O.D. Abston says"
