Her mother, Hary, (Ada is not certain of her name)died when Ada was very young. Ada had 5 brothers and one sister, who was her identic~twin~- After their mother died, the family began selling the land at Breen. In the legal transactions the names of the twins ·were reversed. Ada originally was named Hary, but in the documents was called Ada and Ada was called Eary. Rather than disrupt the legality of the land docu ments, the family decided to continue calling Mary, Ada, and Ada, Mary. A short time later the origi!1al Ada died. So the original Hary, nO"w called Ada, has preserved her sister 1 s na~e for 84 years. Ada came to the Indian School at Ignacio, which she attended for 2-3 years. On a trip back to Breen, when Ada ·was about 10, she fell from a horse, striking her head on a rock. Shortly afterward she began to lose her vision. She was sent away to several hospitals during the next 2 years. ·when she was home, one of theme di cine men, a sun-dance chief, named Cunada, treated her. She credits hio more than the hospitals for bringing a full recovery of her sighto John Russell sold the remainder of his land at Breen and moved to a farm just north of the present cluster homes north of Ignacio. Edna Russell and Sarah Pinnecoose are Ada's half sisters from her dad's 2nd marriage. Ada lived in Dulce for 5 years. She enjoyed the train rides between Lumberton & Breeno ' In 1911 Ada married Graves Stone Kent. His land was several miles east of Ignacio, where the Kents still live. During the early years the n:ortali ty rate anong all peoples was high. lfany of Ada's relatives died of whooping cough and pneumoniao The Kents raised cattle, chickens and horses. The gathered and dried wild herbs and wild potatoes for winter. -The government supplied dried rice,& beans. ·winters weremuch worse in those days. Snow would pile half-~ay up the windows. The winter Isabel was born, Ada says, "You couldn 1 t everi see the fenceposts.~ The Kent children who survived to adulthood are Bonny, Katy Seal, Ida and Isabel. Four of the ota.ers died of the flu in 1918. Some died without names because it was not the custom to give official nas.es to the little ones - until they were enrolled in the tribe. Shortly after Ada & Graves were married, they started on a trip to Breen. Before they got far, a ~an came running up to them carrying a tiny crying baby which he had found deserted in the woods. Ada could tell the little girl was no more than 1 or 2 days old and starving. She took the baby and began thinking how to feed her. The solution was rather ingenious. They returned home, caught a nanny goat and having no bottle or nipple, washed the teats of the goat and let the baby suckle it. She drank greedily. They took their live r;rllk machine with them in the wagon to Breen and got along just fine. Ada soon figured out the baby was the illegitemate child of one of her grandfathers relatives. She raised little Annie(Ada doesn•t tell her last name) until she was old enough to go to boarding school. 11 I went from the goat to the bottle with my own children, 11 Ada says. 11 I raised my own, part of my grandchildren and never asked any money because I love children~ u1,ry father and grandparents always t.:ught me never to argue or fight with my husband and not to talk about him behind his back. I did what they said and we were happy. That is why it was so hard to lose him when he died.11 Ada remembers how people were never alone with their work in the old ,days. They helped one another -plant, plow and harvest. They traded and shared their food so that no one was without the necessities.
