' .. �Martha Semler Y..artha Louise l-fiill er- was born near Kennan, Wis cons in, April 1 4, 1 9o4. H~- ·pa?tents- we-re- Gustave ttlvin Y..iiler and Wilhimi"na Kr.ate 1-!iiller, both of whom _,i-mmigrate-d- fror:i- Germany when they were teen-agers. Gustave-• s family was fairly wealthy. Therefore when he got to Uew York, he attended school to learn English. Wilhimina couldn 1 t afford school wheri she arrived at Baltimore. · 1 11 ' Howe·v er Martha recalls, 11 My mother spoke good English with no accent, while my Dad for all his schooling always had a heavy German broque. 11 11 Both my parents were naturalized citizens with-in a year. They met at the Am.ana Colo_n y near Des Hoines, Iowa where they got jobs. Two years later they got married. Dad worked in a Brewery, then took up far □ing first in I6wa then in northern Wisconsin where I was born, the youngest of 10. These are my brothers and sisters in order. The oldest was l·li.nnie, then Emma, Ann, Marie (who died at age 2), Hargaret, Augusta, Elvina, Ed, Paul, and Martha.·~• · 11 Dad far□ ed in the sUTI1Iner and was a logger in winter. I remember he saved the tamarack bark to sell to the tannery. rfo one ever irrigates anything in \·l i sc ons in. Most of the t iI!l.e the re ' s too much water, Our river bottom land was like a sponge rauch of the yea~, It was a trick to raise hay theTe. Only at certain times could we work and only witp oxen. They never bog down. After the hay was cut we raked it1by hand -with wooden rakes with pegs for teeth. I can still remember my Dad carving new pegs for the rakes, 11 11 1 never saw anybody ride a horse till we moved- to Colorado. Ey brother even hitched an ox to our buggy to deliver Cream to tm,m. 11 11 Wisconsin is wonderful for wild fruit and nuts, blueberries, cranberrie'"', raspberries, etc. , and hickory, hazelnuts, butternuts, chestnuts. "i;fe gathered two sacks full of them and put them in the attic of the wood shed to dry e..nd cure. Every fall _our neighbors cut and shipped box car loads of greenery to the cities for Christmas wreaths. My mother taught Ee to card and spin wool thread when_ I was 10. I wish I had a spinning -wheel now. It was fun. 11 · 11 I might still be in Wisconsin if our Doctor hadn't told Dad1 mother's health would be better at a highe,r altitude. _Dad headed west, intending to go as far as Oregon where E:re-.a lived. But in Denver: Dad_met: Mr •.-Rbffmans ·who was looking for someone to manage the lli:H Ranch south of Oxford. Dad agreed to take the job for 2 months to see if he liked · it. .ltfter a :month he sent for us. All that were left a-t hoI!l.e were -Mother, IDY 2 brothers ·and me. I didn't like it at first. I was accustomed to a nice home with a lawn. I I!li.ssed r:iy friends. I attended the old white s..c_hool at Oxford. (It's been moved to Amy l•icCaw' s place) I met Horace and Ralph Buchanan, the Boyce . girls, J"im and J"ack Turner, J"ohn Olbert, the- Hayden kids and many others. Hy first teacher was Nyrtle HcChesney from Allison. Later she married Anthony Morris. Soon we n.oved riear the Pine River Switch to prove out some homestead land and rlayed there until I was married at 15. 11 Martha and Gustave Semler, who□ she married in 1919, farmed near Oxford for a year then moved to Sable Canyon on Spring Creek. ThereHartha plowed with 3 _horses, helped run the binder a.nd .shock ands.tac~ 45 acres of grain. Later they worked another place on Spring ·creek which had regular irrigation. 11 We went to Ignacio about every 2. weeks for business or supplies. Frora Ignacio it took 3~-4 hours to ride to Durango if you had a horse with a good running walk. 11 "I remember our nail carrier·, l-lel vin Walker, drove a . wagon with a cover over 1 t and a stove inside. He arrived at our box at 4: 00 P. 1I • and then 1 �~ m/ _ · 'hri.d tCI' go all the way back to Ignacio. Art~ur Capell used a car when he took over that route." rfartha had five children: Paul lives west of Ignacio; Herbert died at r -')~itzsinmons Army Hospital at the age of 22; Betty lives at Olathe; Bill lives north of Ignacio; and lfichael lives at Sheridan, Wyomng. One summer when Paul was a baby, Gustave took a heard of Arthur Jones' sheep to pasture up near the needle .i(ountains. In mid-summer 1-fartha took little Paul on horseback to the Ca.op . It snowed, rained and hailed every day. In late summer she helped nove the herd back to Spring Creek. nI could pack a burro and n:ove ca.op like a man, then." The Ser:ilers lived in Durango, Dulce and Ft. Lewis before moving to.the Chromister Place one rd.le north of Otiord. This was depression time and life was very hard. For 9 nonths 2-: artha ~ilked 30 cows morning and evening. 11 1-~y ha..'"ld.s swelled to twice their size . It was too much work, but in a depression, you do what you have to do. I, also, broke horses to ride or to plow;, for ~25 per head. We lost the far.r:;i north of Oxford. From then on I r ai sed and supported my c.hildren alone. We noved to Ignacio. Paul was only 13, but we triedJto far□ tne James :place (-where Candelaria subdivision is l ocated). :foxt. 1re lived on the Johannson Place at Tiff any and ran the crea.I!l station for Shaeffers. In the spring I dropped corn (planted) all day 1-ong for ::.51 . 50. I anq. the older children 1,rorked at ·w hatever we could to survive. When Paul went to the war, he sent us an a.llottr:1ent which made life easier. 11 Today Hartha has 15 grandchildren and J+ great-gra..11.dchildren to enjoy. She has a nouse full of =enentoes and nenories of her Parents and of a life· of :pioneering in . the north woods and the western nountains. La.rtha still bas spunk a.n.d. energy and a weal th of s1:ills ·w;,,u.ch she will share with others if they want to learn. and she tells greatstories, many of which ·we don't have roon to tell here. by Shelby Sm.th ~-Ielco:--e to our J~11uary Social 1·,11.en January 27, 1978 1Tnere: Senior Center Time : 12:00 Noon Allison - £rboles - Please bring desserts Tm·m of Ignacio ?lease bring vegetab~es & Salads Rural area 1-Iear C::: N' •· H. of Ignacio- Please bring TI:.ain dishes ..., • ,O{j ' ' ~ ..____..-i if ,,-._,.....>-::,,,;;;__ ' ~ , ~ b.....r::J;',1 -~~~-=;~ ~~-~-4 1~11~ .
