Shortly after he was born the family moved to La Boca onto his grandfather I s farm. 11 My grandfather mostly taised sheep and goats. That 1 s where I learned sheep ranching." John got some sense knocked into him at an early age . "I found myself knocked to . r the ground more than once. You have to watch out for the Billy-goats ···, "and rams. 11 When John's grandfather, Tom Talyon, wasn't happy ·with the price offered for his sheep locally, he went looking for a better market . "I learned a lot from my grandfather. He wasn•t af:raid to go out and do things. If the prlce .was too low here, he would load his sheep on the train and go to Denver. I went with him a few times and learned a lot .about how to do business." •When John was a boy, most farmers raised some oates and wheat. 11 The Salabar ' s had a· thrashing machine and would move it from place to place, whichever was ripe first . All the neighbors helped one another until every one was finished. Mr. Barnes had a grist mill poweree by a water wheel where we could grind our grain for cattle and chicken feed. 11 Some of this grain was sold for cash, but a lot was kept for feeding on •the farm. . · In 19i 8 Suzie Wj.lliams d:i.ed in the great flu epideru:lc. Jobn was enrolled in the Indian Boarding School north of Ignacio . After 3 year s he was transferred to the Indian School at Santa Fe where he stayad till 1928 . That year he was called home for sheepherding, but in 1929 John resumed school i;:). Albuquerque for two ·~10:re years. Most boys don't care for school very ~uch, but John didn 't mind it. He says, 11 There was a time to study, a time to learn a trade and a time for games. 11 Speaking of games, John, like most Tribal members was a very good athlete. He participated in baseball, football, track, wrestling, and boxing. · From 1930 -1949, John worked at a variety of jobs - building the hospital(which is now the Tribal Building), operating the powerhouse at the Indian School and farming. During this period John married and had three children . When he and his wife were separated, John move to Durango to do construction work and then was offered a job at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. (Dugway was a center for uranium and chemical testing.) Most of his work there involved plumbing and construction. From there he got a job painting section houses for the railroad in Nevada. 11 I didn't expect to see anyone I knew in Red House , Nevada, but Manuel Baca and Julian Romero were there laying track for the railroad. On a trip to Salt Lake City~ John was offered a construction job at Ft. Duschene on the Northern Ute Reservation . (Local Tribal members call them Yankee Utes.) In the evenings a bunch of the young men at Ft. Duschene liked to play baseball. John was right in the middle of it. Since the Ft. Duschene Boarding School was close by the playing field, the dorm kids often came to watch. That 's where John met 16 year old Wanda Accuttoroop . A short time later they were married and came to Ignacio fo~ their honeymoon . Wenda says, "When John and I were married, he was real skinny, but I fattened him up. I think he likes ham and beans better than a..11ything . One year he was the Santa Claus for the Tribe and he fit the suit just right." { �..1 3, I John and Wanda have 1 O children: Roderick and Ronald( t'\'lins), Stanley, John Chadd, Elizabeth 5 Michael, Mary .Ann & Eric(twins) and ··) Michelle & Susan( twins). Wanda says, 11 I 15.ke my children, but when the last ones were born, I decided that was it.tr For three years Wanda has been a waitress at the Pino Nuche Restaurant and enjoys it. "I like to meet people, both new people and old friends. 11 In 1956 John Williams became a milestone in Indian Health. He ' .r was the first tribal member in the country qualified and hired as ~ .. · ., Sanitarian. From 1962 -1972 John was a member of the Tribal Council. During several of those years he served as Chairman. Presently, he is Resources Coordinator for the Tribe. John has lived long enough to remember ma.ny ·of the old ways and to see many things change. 11 I r emember seeing the old :people dry deer mea.t and dry and pound chokecherries into cakes. We used to be afraid to get wild honey, but then ·we lear ned to put on ploves and wear a net ove~ our ·heads. Years ago there were so many fish in the stream in the Vega that we c ould drive them into gunny sacks. Then we'd boil them and dry them for winter." Though John has many good memories of long ago, he does not live in the past. ·when asked :for his age John said, 11 I' m 35. I feel like I 1 m 35 and :people treat me like I 1.m 35. That's why I keep worlt:ing. I'm not going to fold up at 65'. I I ve got a job and a farm · to take care of.

Ignacio did have a Sunday train eastbound out of Dul"ango and out of Alamosa westbound as well as daily train serviceo There were hardly any telephones . There was electricity to be s ure, but from a somewhat erra.tir: power system at Bayfield, privately owned. Fortunately no one 01,med a deep f'reeze . Many rural families drove to tollm with horses and wagons and the roads being what thoy were it was prol)ably a good thing. F....itching posts lined the alley to the west of the main street. Ordinances prnhibiting livestock in t own had not as yet been dra"t-m up and me.ny .families kept cows, horses, chickens or pigs in their· yards .
