Maria Benedita was the first or six children and the only girl. Two years later Benedita's father heard of good land and new opportunities across the line in Colorado, so he moved his family to a farm near La Boca. They stayed there for a year, then rented the Joe Velasquez ranch 7 miles .south of Ignacio near Martin Hayes place. The first son born in the family was Manuel, then Julian, Eustavio, -Benino and Alfredo. Leandro had goats, chickens, pigs, and sheep as well as horses for work and transportation. As the boys grew up they gave plenty of help with the irrigating and harvesting on the farm. · Benedita am her mother took care of the garden and the cooking, weaving and sewing. Candelaria raised her own chili and other produce. "She dried everything," Benedita recalls, "and without refr1dgerat1on or freezers that was the best and cheapest way to preserve food·. · After a few years Dad bought the farm from Joe. We had an adobe house with two front rooms, two bedrooms and a kitchen. We carried water from t.he river until Dad dug a well near the house. n To earn extra money Leandro worked part time for l..rthur Jones who lived over near Spring Creek. · "I remember when I learned to make tortillas. I was so small I bad to stand on a bench to reach the table top. I, also, remember the ·gQod smells or food at Christmas. That was a happy time in the old days, even though we never had store-bought toys. My father would carve dolls and baby chairs and wooden dishes. Winter was nice because ot the sled. It was so much fun, so smooth and quiet to ride on the sled. That was the best way to travel in those days. 11 · Benedita went to first grade at the agency, but thereafter she vent to school at the arroyo, (over the hill and below the present locker plant slaughter house. Fabian Martinez had built a tavern, dance ball, ca.re, rooming house etc. along the railroad tracks one mile vest or Ignacio. Benedita liked the arroyo school better because the teacher could explain things in Spanish, if necessary. In 1910 the Luceros moved to a place on the hill west of Ignacio, then they bought a place in Ignacio in 1911 (the same house where the La Febres now live). That was the year of' the f1ood • . Every one who was at least 5 years old in 1911 remembers the flood. It rained tar a week. All the people in the valley got flooded out. "We bad to go through deep water 1n a wagon to get my grandmother out o~ her house. Many people spent 2-3 days in their attics. Others were lost 1 _especially- down along the San Juan." Benecuta married Chrestino Casias on January?, 1915, when she was seventeen. They were married 1n Ignacio and traveled to and from the church on a sled. "Chrestino and his parents were our neighbors south of Ignacio for a long time. He was a nice boy. I had known him f'or a long time and always liked him. In those days there was a dance 1n Ignacio everySaturday. That was about our only entertainment. We often went to the dances together and knew one another vell when we got married. For a year we lived with my parents, then got our own place west of Ignacio near the Pine River Switch (not far from Joe Chavez}. We raised garden, vheat, corn and hay. Most of our shopping was done 1n Bayfield because ~ ' i I �3) -I prices we:re cheaper there than in Ignacio.,: A time of great sadness came to the Lucero family in 1918e Bene,,.- , di ta' s mother was one of the . thousands in this nation who died of the swine flu that year. Two years later Leandro married Marie Chavez. They had one daughter, Elisa, (now Mrs. Bennie Herrera). Chrestino and Bennedito had 5 children: Ray, Ophelia(Mestas), Helen (Cruz), Lloyd and Chrestino,Jr. In 1925 Cbrestino went to Utah for 2 years to work in the mines. He earned good money, saved it, and in 1927 had enough to buy his first car, a new Chevrolet. The Casias bought a place on the hill west of Ignacio.soon afterward. "We bought the land from Arthur Smith, who at that time lived over near Jerry Young 1 s place. We enjoyed our life here. Our kids were good kids. I guess about the only time we oi;rerworked them, _at least some of them think so, was in carrying water. For a long time the kids had to bring water from the spring down the hill. Some of them used to say they were going to become hunch-backed from all that carrying, but they didn I t . II Chrestino died Febr12ary 16, 1974. For years he had played -t.he guitar and vioJ.in well and was · frequently asked to play ' :f"or parties and dances. He will be remembered a long t ime -~or this_ ability. Benedita still lives at home • Occasionally, she visits her children in Utah and California, but mostly she stays home and spends a little time each day remembering both the good and the bad times of the days long ago. Best wishes to her fol' many more years of' happiness and good memories.
