Photospheric abundances of C, N and O of an evolved halo Population 2 star, the field horizontal-branch star HD 109995, based on observations of ultraviolet resonance or low excitation lines are presented. The logarithmic abundance ratio with respect to the Sun O/Fe = +1.5 is substantially higher than previously determined values for Pop. 2 red giants or RR Lyrae stars, but agrees well with a derived value from the OI infrared triplet. This may be direct evidence of Tinsley's (1979) scenario of localized sharply rising interstellar oxygen abundances immediately following bursts of massive star formation. Star HD 109995 may have formed from such highly oxygen-enriched material prior to its dilution by gas with the pre-burst composition. The ratio C/N = -1.3 may reflect the composition of material from which the star formed or CN processing within the star during its evolution.
