These photos of
Elmer Martin were taken by Ditlev Thyssen. The first photo is Elmer having his portrait painted. Ditlev titled the photo "
An Oilman in Oil" painted by Ejnar Larsen and photoed by Ditlev Thyssen. Elmer is sitting in the living room of his home in Cortez while having his portrait painted. Ditlev refers to Elmer as an "oilman" because Elmer bought and sold oil leases.

Ditlev titled this next photo, "
Time for a piece of cake between oil talks." When I think of Elmer, this is the image that always comes to my mind -- Elmer sitting at the kitchen table in his little home on 30 North Maple, Cortez, Colorado.
