Streams of people were departing and boarding the train. P.orters were ·pushing carts of luggage across the platform and hawkers were selling peanuts, apples, sandwiches, coffee and lemonade up and down the aisles of the coaches. The Conroys decided to stretch their legs. Mike helped his wife Lydia down the steps, then lifted down his~ year old twin daughters Mary and Martha aiia~his --, year old son Charles. Though it was fal1 Mary and Martha clearly remember a band nearby was loudly playing '!In the Good Old Summer Time". The Conroys were enroute from one way of life to another. Nine year~ before, Mike, the son of a Manhattan,Kansas, farmer caught the fever for the land run into the Cherokee Outlet. · He was there -on that hot day in 1893 with 180,000 others waiting breathlessly f~r the shot fired by the cavalrymen along the border which ~ignaled noon and the opening of the landrun. Mike had a wagon and two white horses. His competitors, stretching along the border of this vast land both to the right and to the left to the horizons and beyond were mostly people like him hungry for land of their own. Most had horses and wagons, but some had sleek race horses, a few were astride high-wheeled bicycles and a few with very determined looks on their faces were afoot. Mike was one of the lucky ones. He managed to stay fairly near the front of the raging sea of horses and to find a good piece or land. Others were not so lucky. Horses stumbled,wagon wheels shattered, gullies opened unexpectedly in front of racing thron gs and swallowed animals,wagons and peopl e . Men who staked oposi te ends of a claim shot 1 t ,)ut to decide who owned the land. This northwest Olkahoma territory was a trying land to farm. When the rains came Mike was amazed at the crops 1 t would produce, but 1 t was heartbr,? aking during the dry years to see the wheat sprout and wilt and turn brown under the. relentless sun. Mike sold his land in 1902 and decided to go to the mountains. After a brief rest the family reboarded the train. When they arrived in Pueblo, they visited an aunt for several days. The girls had never spent much time in a town of the size of Pueblo. One afternoon the girls were out playing hide-and-seek with their cousins and the neighbor children. Mary hid a little too well. Unfortunately, when she ran around the corner ot the block to hide, no one found her. By the time she decided to return to the yard she had lost her sense ot direction. Finally, a man passing by took her to the right address. The remainder of the trip to Durango took much longer than expected. When the Conroys changed to the narrow gauge train at Alamosa, the sky was grey and threatening over the mountains. Snow was falling so hard at ·Antonito that the train was delayed several days. Most of the passengers including the Conroys lived in the train till the passes were cleared. Mike bought a dairy farm on Florida road east of Animas City. Though Animas City had only two stores Mary and Marth liked to go there. Quickly they learned that Mike Kennedy, who owned the genera1 store, was a pushover. The two littl e gals would mosey over to the candy coun~er and stare longingly at the display until Mike would ease over with a big smile and give them each a sample. "I suppose we were spoiled ,- �·brat~;" admit Mary and '• Martha, "We had alway~ been babied and madeover because we were twins. When the girls were 5 and Charles was 6, they all three starte·d in the first grade at Animas City School. Good weather and bad their father put all three on the ·same horse for the ride down the valley to town. Animas City was the end of the line for ~he Durango Trolley. Whenever the family needed a better selection of goods they rode the trolley into Durango. Since Animas City had no high School, the girls went into Durango after grade 8. Both were members of the girls basketball team and both loved to dance. "Our parents were fairly lenient. They usually let us go to dances and parties whenever and wherever we wanted to go." Being a twin was· handy nb'W' and _then,too. Once when Mary faced a stiff German exam, she let Martha, who was a year ahead nf her in German, sit .infer her. Neither the students or the teacher caught on. Both Martha and Mary decided to become teachers. College training was ~ot required in those days, but it was necessary to pass a stiff exam. Martha taught in the Waterfall School in the Animas Valley and t hen moved south of I gnacio to teach the Harvey School. While there s he boarded with the Fred Harvey Family. "Sometimes we still visit Mrs. Harvey in Durango. She's about 92 now.'' Finally, Mart ha t aught at the Hood School 4 miles N.E. of ·Elmore's Store until she was married. Mary's first school was the Fairview School near Oxford. Then shE=> went to Holder School on Spring Creek , Mason School on Florida Mesa and finally she taught at the Morrison School north of Ignacio. As it is today schoolteaching was a satisfying, but very demanding job. Mary and Martha fre quently opened their schools for dances and box suppers. "Most of our dance music was accompanied by piano and violin. Gui'i:;ars were not too common at dances then." Both Mar tha and Mary admit to a string of beaus during those years, but when a sKed f or names and more details, they r eplied,"Let's leave that out." One episode they will tell (minu s the boy's name). Martha · had a date to go for a buggy r ide wit h a certain young man . The afternoon of the ride Martha became very 111 and asked Mary to go in her place . 11 He never knew the difference, 11 Mary recalls. Beyond this, they each admit to one feller, their husbands. Martha met Marvin Potter at a Grange Meeting at the Morrison School. They were married in Durango on Dec., 11+, 1919. "We drove out to Ignacio in a horse and buggy on what must have been the coldest day of the year. It took about 6 hours and was nearing evening when we arrived." The Potters have four children. Donald lives in Montrose. Jean McClanahan lives in Ignacio. Stanley 1s in. New Jersey, and Irvin is in Dallas. When Mary was 22, she met Leslie Patrick at a dance. She and Leslie were married in Durango on June 4, 1922. After the wedding ceremony, they rode the train to Ignacio and as soon as they arrived at the farm, Leslie put on his boots and went right out to irrigate. "That's the way life was then," says Mary. "We had to work like the dickens. We milked cows, separated the milk and sold the cream. We never could make a living just from the farm. Leslie always had to have another job as ditchrider, or carpenter or something else to earn enough. 11 The Patricks have two children. Lee Patrick lives in Gallup,N.M. and Eleanor Stanberry lives in Basalt, Colorado. During the long winter months of the 1920's the Potters and the Patricks came to town regularly to play basketball at Burns Hall. The ladies enjoyed it as much as the men. "Getting there was the hard part. 11 �Sometimes the road would be a string of mud holes. Everyone but the driver would have to get out and push. 11 In the spring and summer it was baseball. Marvin, Leslie, Louie Morris, Fred Robinson and others the ladies have forgotten were on the team. "In 1926 both our families went on a wild goose chase, 11 the ladies reea11. 11We packed up and headed for California. In Los Angelos one of the men got a job on the docks; ·the other drove a tea.m. 11 After a few .months the Potters moved on to Fresno where they had relatives, but it was suffocatingly hot in the summer. Finally, after visiting relatives in Oregon for a short while, both families decided to return t_Q'::·:Ignacio. "None of us ever seemed to feel at home out there. When we cros~ed the Colorado line west of Dove Creek, Leslie stopped the car, jumped out, threw his hat in the air and let out a wild yell of joy~ That's just how glad he -was to get back to Colorado." Martha and Mary started life together 76 years ago. Now that Marvin and Leslie are gone, it seems right that they are together again sharing life and memories. When asked what they think about being twins, they both reply, "It's great having a double. I'm sure we 1 ve always been closer because of it. 11 by Shelby Smith Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wiseman were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Hott at the Elk I s Steak Dinner Dance in Dura:ngo, Saturday, May 11 th.
