"Sally 11 didn't think so in 1938 when h,er husband Arthur decided he wanted to move to Ignacio. Arthur Capell had wanted to live in the mountains for many years. In 1930 he and Sally visited Montana looking for a job, but shied away from starting a new life there when they learned it sometimes is 40 degress below zero there. Then in 1938 Arthur discovered a man in Ignacio wanted to trade mail routes with someone in Ohio. Arthur reasoned that Ignacio would have a mountain climate more to his liking since i.ts latitude is the same as that of Virginia. Sally agreed to mov 1 wanting whatever would make Arthur happy, but she admits the move was traumatic one accompanied by tears and more tears at the thought of leaving all her relatives and friends acquired over a lifetime. The Capell's only son Kenneth was already married and had started his own life in Columbus, Ohio, where he and his wife still live. ) In one way the move to Ignacio wa s a disappointment to Arthur. Accustomed as he was to the well graveled roads in Ohio, the unimproved LaPlata County Roads of 1938 were a f rustrating obstacl e to a rural postman. Despite her original reluctance about moving, Sally learned· to love her new life in Colorado even more than Arthur did. Now that Arthur is deceased, Sally has been urged by her friends and relatives in Ohio to be "sensible" and move back home. However~ Sally says, 11 Ignacio has the friendliest, finest people and a beautiful climate. I 1 11 never leave. 11 Sarah Mae 11 Sally" Wickliff was born in her parents 3 story brick home on 39 acres near Pataskala, Ohio, in 1889. Though her father's farm was small, he worked it efficiently, rotating crops of corn and wheat and putting up hay and taking good care of his cattle. Sally remembers the beauty of the green Ohio country side wi tb. its scattered woods and clear flowing creeks. The covered bridges in the area were useful in the summer as well as winter. Teamsters and horsemen would hurry to them during rain showers. After graduating from high school Sally and her sister passed the state test to become teachers. They taught in country schools one mile apart for four years. Teaching was a pleasant 8 month per year job for Sally. She says she never had much trouble getting along with the students. 11 After the first couple of paddlings, .they found out who was boss 1 11 Sally liked square dancing, but recalls being nervous about it during the years she was teaching, since many parents of that time would criticize a teacher for disporting herself in such a manner. During this time Sally was being courted by Arthur Capell, who had been a childhood friend since age 12. One of Arthur's first jobs as a young man was driving a huckster's wagon. This was a covered wagon which served as a traveling general store. He sold cloth, hardware, pots, patent medicine and groceries to farm residents who seldo·m traveled to town. Since many farmers had little cash, they would pay for their supplies with butter, eggs, cream and produce. Later Arthur drove a �produce wagon before he accepted a job as a U.S. Postman. Sally smiles when she talks about Arthur's fast horses. Before they were married, Arthur bought a sleek black horse which he named Diamond Denmark. Sally smiles even bigger when she recalls that the purchase of Diamond Denmark 11 required 11 the purchase of a new buggyl During the long Ohio sum.mer evenings Sally would sit in a lawn chair listening for the hoofbeats of the black horse which she could hear·1ong before it came into view over the crest of the hill. On Sunday afternoons Sally and Arthur would hitch Diamond to the new buggy for a ride on the 11 Pike II near Pataskala. Arthur would travel at moderate speed until some other young blade and his gal would try to come around them. No one, she recalls, was ever able to pass Diamond Denmark. · When the Capells came here in 1938, Ignacio looked a little the worse for wear since it and the whole country were just coming out of the Great Depression. But Ignacio had the train then and Sally wtshes · it were still here. One Thanksgiving she rode the train back to Chio to visit her family. Returning a few days before Christmas she rerr.embers changing i'rorn the wide gauge to the narrow gauge train at Alamosa. The narrow gauge coaches were carpeted and very comfortable. Sally says the magnificent snowy peaks and canyons through which the train traveled in the region of Cumbres Pass was an unforgetable sight. In 1945 Arthur got horse fever again in the form of a fine mare named Queen-of-Hearts. He built a stable and corral just across the street from his home on Browning. In 1 948 11 Queenie 11 gave birth to a little filly which was to become Arthur and Sally's pride and joy. Miss Jody Reed won races in Denver and was a source of pleasure to Arthur for many years. Perhaps the only "colt shower' 1 ever held in Ignacio was hela. in honor of Jody's birth. Some of those who brought :presents to this tongue-in-cheek affair were Paul Ritter, Lawrence Wiseman and Okla Lunsford. Miss Jody Reed, now a regal 25 years old is in retirement on the Emmet Hott far m. When Sally Capell goes out to visit Miss Jody Reed, we'll excuse her if she sees more than an aging mare. It may be she will recapture the image of quiet rides in the Pine River Valley of a summer evening or the excited roar of the crowd at Centenial Downs and Ruidosa and Raton. It may be she recalls the apprehension at facing a new life in a new land far from familiar things and the discovery that neighborliness and generosity and friendship can take root wherever they're planted. We'll excuse Sal ly if she hears the singing of buggy wheels and the dru!mlling of hooves on the Pataskala Pike, or if for ,jus t a moment she hears dis tant hoofbeats growing clearer and more distinct until a r ider 6n a tall bla ck horse rises into view at the crest of a green Ohio hill. We'll excuse her because all of us have links with the past which evoke memories and reveries of great value. Today Sally Capell is a hospitable, gracious lady, a good citizen, We wish her many more happy years. good friend, good neighbor. by Shelby Smith P.S. We're glad you ~oved here, Sally. PP.S. Sally makes the best peanut-brittle this side of Ohio. ) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Almost ready for its second cutting, the hay in the meadows was brilliant green and restful to the eyes. This time ct.year the river was low and clear. Here and there the family could see the flashing movements of large feeding trout. To the south they could see the depot and a few other buildings in the young village of Ignacio. Up the valley to ths ~ight was their destination, several buildings of the Ute Agency and a few homes. Julian Baker was eight years old. He had no idea this trip would mean any more to him than other previous trips to visit a cousin who lived near the agency and to trade fo~ supplies in Ignacio. But it was to be very different. The next morning after all business and visiting was done, Julian's father hitched the horses and loaded the supplies. As Julian approached t!1e· wagon, his father stopped him and said,"These are your relatives here. They will be a family to you. You won't need to feel that you are away from home.~ Through tearful eyes Julian beheld his C3ther in the wagon and began slowly to understand that he was expected to stay. Almost before he could begin to wonder why this was happening a bell began to ring distantly. ''Do you hear that? 11 his father said. "That's the 'school bell. Do you see those boys and girls going to that building? You go over there too. Your cousins will be a family to you. 11 Julian watched the wagon roll slowly toward the river, then turned and walked more slowly toward the strange building across the field. Julian recalls the winter holidays were all new to him. Until school he knew nothing of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter. On his first Halloween celebration he remembers a great bowl of a new food called popcorn, and remembers even more clearly how that he ate with delight and great gusto until he was 111. Soon enough the school became a familiar and comfortable place. Most years thereafter he rode the train to Ignacio in September. Julian was born July 17, 1892, on his father's farm in a canyon behind Allison. Since the county line runs right through their place, Julian says to this day he is not sure whether he was born in Archuleta or in La Plata County. One of his earliest recollections is a clear memory of men surveying the section lines near Allison. This was done in 1896 when Julian was four years old. This government survey he observed was one inc·ident among others leading to an exciting yet sad rivalry which erupted a few years later near Julian's home, but to tell that story we must go back further into the past. ~ong before the Sp.:1niards and the French and the Americans came, the Utes enjoyed a home territory and hunting ground unsurpassed by that of any other tribe in North America. Though the territory of every other tribe had advantages,and desirable characteristics, the homeland of the Utes, occupying the great valleys and ranges of the backbone of the continent was unusual for its size and beauty. Few tribes ever possessed so large an area or enjoyed such richness and variety of terrain. The Utes made occasional raids onto the great ~ �,-.., plains east of Pikes Peak in search of buffalo or to harry their old enemies the Cheyennes and the Arapahoes who inturn made occasional raids against the Utes in the mountain regions. But finally the whites came and with their numbers and new weapons eventually began asserting their will over the land. Julian remembers the old men who told him of the time when the American Army came to the great plains and ordered the Utes to leave. "You will no longer eat Buffalo. You will eat deer," they said. "Go into the mountains. Migrate among them. When you have found the area you like best, stay there." Each head of a hous hold was told to stake an allottment. (160 acres for farming, 160 acres for grazing) Rather than marking the corners of the allottment, the Indians were told toplant a large post in the center of their chosen land and each year to clear and work a larger area around the post until all 160 acres were being used. Hundreds of farms were started by means of the allottment system, before the land was surveyed. When little Julian saw the surveyors at work, he didn't begin to A Ute farmer had a farm not far from Julian's home acquired by means of the allottment. After the land survey, he discovered another Ute had acquired nearby farmland according t o the survey lines and that the surveyed land and the allotted land overlapped. Rather than attempt some sort of peaceful solution, the two farmers beca~e very angry and proceeded to shoot at one another whenever they watered their horses in the creek each claimed. The feud ended soon enough when one of them killed the other. guess the trouble it would soon cause down the canyon a ways. Julian was asked for any memories of Chipita and Ouray, but he said they died a few years before he was born. Julian and Ultima Baker(the former Ultima Watts, sister of Max Watts) were married at a farm house between Bayfield and Ignacio. They had one daughter, Xary, and eight sons, Walter, Randolph,Ullysses, John, Carl, Thomas, Christopher and Clem. Four of the sons survive, John, Carl, Chris and Clem. Julian has been a farmer and rancher full or part time most of his life. He was selected to be Tribal Judge from 1947-1956. Though this is essential and ioportant work, the pressures and mental strain of decision-making were very strong and Julian r ecalls,"That's not the kind of job to n:.ake anyone the most friends ." Another kind of work Julian especially enjoyed and still enjoys in his shop is carpentry. He has done a lot of construction work including some of the building at Lake Capote. In the last few years Julian has invented several kinds of bead looms and an ingenious stock chute for separating sheep. Julian will be 82 this next July. His life has been long and varied and full. He and his people have survived many challenges coped with many changes during his lifetime. All of us appreciate his example of tenacity, courage and hard work. We wish him many years or happiness and good health.

Variety in your evening drink If, like many people, you enjoy a hot drink in the evening but wisely try to limit your consumption of stimulants, here are some tasty, nutritious substitutes for the traditional hot cocoa: Heat fruit juice. Almost any juice is good hot, but tomato and apple are especially delectable. (For an extra touch of zip, add a squeeze of lemon or dash of celery salt to tomato, a couple of cloves or a cinnamon stick to spple.) Make cambric tea, mi xing the hot water with evaporated milk or nondairy creamer instead of fresh whole milk if you're budget-minded. Then , instead ?sf a~ding sugar, add an inch-long piece of a holiday-type candy cane. Your t ea will be a festive pink and, more important, have a delightfully different flavor. .....

Next morning, she cracked one open - only to find it empty. After opening all 12 eggs and finding nothing in any of them, she took the shells back to the farmer.

When Bessie was two years old, her family moved to Milwaukee where they lived most of the time until she was married. John, who was a steam shovel engineer, spent most of his time away from home working construction jobs or strip mining in Illinois and Indiana. As amember of a union John would work one job until it. was finished, then he was bumped to the bottom of the list to wait his turn 11 for another project. "It was like Santa Claus everytime he came home, Bessie recalls. · Milwaukee (1896-1920) was in many ways a delightful place to live. It was a big town but not a metropolis. Bessie remembers riding the streetcars, which went everywhere and the Jitney Buses (early versions of the taxi), vehicles of every description which would transport a passenger from any point in the city to any other point for five cents. When Bessie was old enough for school, her mother got a job as fitter in a department store. Bessie became interested in active sports. She enjoyed ice skating and was a member of the girl's basketball team. 11 We were a good team as a rule, but we didn't do so well when we played South Side High. They were all great big Polish girls, so big you couldn't get under, over, or around them," Bessie recalls. The third sport Bessie enjoyed, and the one for which she showed the most promise was sassing the teacher. "I was never able to hold dignitaries in high regard unless they deserved it and most of my teachers did not deserve it," stated Ma. Milwaukee was and is the beer capitol of the world. In that time there was a saloon on every corner. "Ma" says she used to have nightmares about being caught by a drunk, but they never succeeded. Bessie had known Milton Seibel for a long time. He and she had attended the same schools for years. As the two youngsters grew up and entered high school, Bessie and Milton developed new eyes for one another. Bessie recalls being in the same assembly (we call it study hall,today) as Milton. During those endless silent hours Milton occasionally wrote notes, folded them into paper airplanes, and when teacher was~ n't looking, he sailed them to Bessie. The system worked well until one afternoon the guidance system on one of the notes failed and it made a fatal flight onto the teacher's desk. Milton, of course, was kicked out of assembly, but that was only the beginning of his interest in Bessie. In subsequent years they dated frequently going to dances, shows and dining out. Sometimes they would hear Fritz Kreissler in a violin concert, or Madam Melba or Shuman Heinck. Afterwards they would choose a fine restaurant where they ordered all the fine Chinese food they could eat for twenty-five cents. 11 We didn't mooch in the back seat of a car, 11 confides Ma, "beacuse we didn't have a car, but we spent a lot of time sitting on the landing of the strircase in our anartment. The first time Hilton asked me to marry him, I said 1 no'. I remember it clearly. We were reading the "Saturday Evening Post'." Bessie said no that time because America had · just declared war on Gerr1any and Nil ton had volunteered to go. "I didn't want to have a baby and be left alone ~o raise it in case he didn't come back. 11 Bessie and all her sorority friends in Delta Sigma rolled band,1.r.es and knitted socks for the war effort. Bessie was knitting at hc:::e: at work: an the streetcars, everywhere she went. Hilton was gone 22 rr:;cnths. He and Bessie were married as soon as he retlll"ned. �, , .. . The Seibels might have spent the remainder of their lives in Milwaukee had it not been for an aunt in Pagosa Springs who wrote glowing accounts of the opportunities of homesteading and ranching in southwest Colorado.· Their parents and her sorority friends were appalled at t he prospect of moving to the wilderness, but the Seibels were both working· in Milwaukee and getting nowhere, so they were excited at the prospect of an entirely new life. They rode the train to Pagosa s,rings in the su:.r,er of 1919 and bought 160 acres of cut-over dry land 10 ~iles northwest of Pagosa at O'Neill Park. The Seibels started a dairy far:n~·raised alfalfa and some we.eat. Ma hel:Jed Milton in the field when necessary and did fancy work for cash, ifnen Bessie's nother ca~e to visit, life was still pretty rustic on the farm. There w~re no indoor toilets anj all water had to be hauled from a soft water spring on their place. :,rrs Glyn..'1 couldn't understand why a.11.yone would want to live in such circu?nstances, but Bessie felt then and still says, 11 It was all an adventure. The country was beautiful." Their farm was located about half way between the ranches on the upper Piedra and Pagosa. Most evenings some traveler would stop for dinner and would bed down for the night. 11Ma 11 enjoyed the company~ but she finally told one rancher he couldn't come back without his wife. "I was tired of hunting stories. I wanted some woman talk." The first motorized vehicle the Seibels owned was a motorcycle with a side car. There were two kinds of rides on the cycle. Rough and dusty and rough and muddy. On one trip to the upper Piedra, the cycle bogged down to the hubs. Milton and Bessie had to stay the night with an old bachelor who lived nearby. Bessie had always enjoyed working in the field with the horses, but when Milton began buying mechanized equipment, she retired to the house. Besides the boys were growing and beginning to do their share of the work, Willard was the first, Then Glenn. Ed and Don were born. The country schoolhouse for the area was nearby. Most years the schoolteacher would stay with the Seibels. Some of the schoolmarms were first year teachers and were only 18 years old. 11 Ma" says the teachers were very interesting people and ~rovided companionship and good conversation on the long winter evenings. In 1935 Milton and Bessie went into debt $5,000.00 to buy an irrigated farm near Arboles. It made Bessie very uneasy to owe a sum which at that time seemed so enormous. They raised hay, grains, pigs, sheep ?nd cattle. Bessie had a large garden with two-three hundred tomato plants some years. There was lots of work and no vacations until 1952 when they stopped for a few weeks to take a trip to California and Montana and then back to Milwaukee to see old friends. 11 After an extended illness Milton died at home in 1961. Ma 11 still 11 11 lives on the farm near Arboles. Approaching 80 years, I'1a is a fine lady with a generous heart. Time has not dulled her words. She still ha.s the same sassy tongue she took to school in 1910. 11 I ha.ve a tremendous memory-for ridiculous things," Ma states. If you don't believe her, just ask her for a song. Regarding work, she says, 11 I've graduated~ but the word 'go' I like. 11 Sur:,ming up her years in Colorado, i,:a si!nply says, "I would.n' t :::.·.-:: r.issed this e:~:_:ierience for anything. 11 He r;1ight add that it is teca1:.se of peonle like her thnt living in Colorado has been a fine experience. by Shelby Smith ,:. �TUESDAY FEBRUARY 26th SENIOR SOCIAL Welcome to our February Senior Sociall : February 26, 1974 Where: Parish Hall When : 12:00 noon How : Pot luck (bring salads, vegetables, deserts, we'll provide meat and drinks) Entertainment will be by the high school stage Band Date La comida para los maryores sera el dia 26 de febrero a los doce del dia, en la sala de la Igslesia Cato+ica.

Maybe you even know a friend who's been swindled, but you're too smart to be fooled by a bunco scheme. Be honest with yourself for a minute. What would you have done in the following situation° A man with a warm but business-like voice calls you on the phone and says he's with the FBI. He explains that two tellers at your bank are under investigation for pilfering funds, and he needs your cooperation. He asks that you withdraw $2,000 from your account so that he can come by your house, mark the bills and use the money to catch the thieves. Would you withdraw the money1 A woman in Los Angeles did recently, not once but twice, even though she received a warning from her bank. She wasn 1 t just dumb, she was tricked by an expert into falling for the phony bank examiner scheme. "The schemes all sound ridiculous", explains Lt •. William Mossman of the.Los Angeles Police Department bunco-forgery division, "but it must be remembered that in nearly every case we are not dealing with anamateur. The thief j_s n ot given enough credit for being very efficient in what he is doing 11 • The woman in Los Angeles is not alone. Every year~ ccnfidence men and women play upon the greed and ignorance of thousands of people. 1fore often than not, these people are older people - the average victim's age is 65. It's almost impossible to spot con artists. They are well-dressed, gregarious and respectable-looking. And the y have an important advantage over other c1"i minal s. "In all bunc o crime s 11 , says Lt. Moss man'. 11 the confidence man has the benefit of picking the time, the place and the person he is going to work the scheme on". If the professional con artist is hard to spot, the con itself is not - especially if you 're familiar with the stage the criminal is trying to set and keep in mind some common sense dos and don'ts. Information about you is essential in the phony bank examiner scheme and other con games, so never reveal your age or discuss personal finances with strangers. Furthermore, don't be offended if your bank shows an interest when you make a large withdrawal. Bank personnel are trained to be on the lookout for victims of con games. The average person's "touch of 1arceny11 is the important stage element of the most common bunco scheme - the pigeon drop. The Los Angeles Police Department estimates victims lose in excess of $500,000 a year in Los Angeles alone. How is this accomplished? Sixty-seven-yearold Mrs. Jones is gardening in her front yard when an attractive woman call her Miss Smith - engages her in conversation. Soon, another women Miss White - approaches with an envelope containing a large sum of money which she says she just found. A note says that money was earned through the sale of pornographic pictures. Miss white thinks they should keep the money and split it three ways , saying, 11 After all , it was gained through illegal means". Hiss Smith agrees and suggests she check with an attorney friend she knows to make sure this is permissible. She soon returns with the good news that it's all right to keep the money, although the attorney advised her they should protect themselves by placing "good faith security" ih his office. Hiss White suggests that each withdraw $1 ,ooo f~c~ her bank account. They do so and meet in front of the attorney's cffice. All the money is placed in a single envelo~e and ~iss S~itl1 v.·,J.untoers to ta~;:e the r~on.ey into the office. When she re t-i;.rns ~ she t:'.~ ~-s L~·s. Jones that the attorney wants to see her.

But grandparents have the time to enjoy their grandchildren and express love for them; this , then ~ is what your grandchildren need from you. A s imple beginning is an invitation to climb upon a lap, arms outstretched, with a loving smile that premises s incere attention to a tale of joy or woe . (Just don 1 t sympathize with complaints about parents!) One time my grandchild Denise and I played store with an old t~y cash register (out of my special cupboard filled with toys and games from our children 1 s childhoods). When she left, she said - with the joy only a four-year-ol d can express, "I'm going to tell my mama you played with me l 11 Other at- home activities grandchildren love are being read to (then being gi.ven the storybook to keep), hearing reminiscences from your youth ( especially about times you were "naughty 11 l ) , playing games, drawing, building with anything, s tl"'inging beads. Steven Caney, author - lectuter and designer of the Boston Children's Museum , encourages adults to dig into their ovm :pasts for ideas as to what will make their grandchildren happy. "I try to remember what I liked as a kid, " he says, "and it generally turns out that it's what today's kids like , too 11 • Curious as to what an eight-year-old f inds memorable , I asked granddaughter Kathy to name a hap,y recollection. Her reply : "When you played Hide-the-Thimble with me ". That 1 s what my mother played with me - and hers before that! And what about hauling out the button box? I spent hours as a child sorting or cunting buttons when I got bored with other toys. If you bake, acquaint your grandchildren with the specialty of their heritage: English trifle, Italian crostata, African benne cookies, German pfeffernuesse, Lebanese sumbusic, .Jewish blintzes, French petits fours. Little ways to meet each grandchild 1 s needs: Invite one at a time to visit you , so you can give him all your attention . Treat him as an equal. (Psychologist Dr. Haim Ginott claims that 11 children react best when we treat them as though they are already what t hey are capable of becoming".) When he visits, let him see and do things he can't experience at home - not because his parents don't approve, of course, but because they aren't available. Co~pliment him often on his school, Scouting or musical achievements, artwork, appearance, manners, etc. Let him do things when he visits: hold the mixer, set the table, feed the cat, hammer a nail. A child 1 s craving fo r presents fr om grandparents may be as much a desire for a close relationship as greed, so he'll be delighted with a simple coloring book, a top, a puzzle; most youngsters like to play house or store , so. welcome small boxes; plastic bottles and screw-top jars, empti ed of their contents but with the labels left on. According to Mr. Caney, people are talting a second look at 11 storebought11 toys. What a child really wants, he says, is to be appreciated for himself; he gains this by u s ing his fertile imagination to make his own toys with a 1 it tl e help f ro:n a parent - or grandparent. Hon:e!r.ade toys are catching on again; Steven11 Caney ' s "Toy Book 11 ., Caroline Horowitz I s "Play Alone Fun for Boys and Giris , Arden Newsome's 11 Crafts and Toys From Around the World" are all good how-to books, available at your local library. • .... • - # �Mr. and Mrs. Butch McClanahan were in Colorado Springs the week of 9 February 10th to attend an Associated Grocers Convention.

Tiny boats made of wood shavi~igs and sticks glided along in grand disregard for their danger, bounced down the waterwhe~l and jisintegrated in the churning pool. At nine years of age Tomas was old enough to give his grandfather some help in the flour mill, but like today there were slack times,~oo. Times to sail boats, time to watch clouds in the blue New Mexico sky ana times t~ listen to the wind in the Junipers. Today the hot weather sound of grasshoppers si~ging accompanied the measured splashing of the wheel, and underlying all was the stead"y, patient, low monotone of stone turning upon stone. . . Tomas and his mother,Nepomucena, divided their time between Grandfather Garcia's farm and flour mill and Grandfather Montoya 1 s ranch near . Espanola. Tom 1 s father came home as often as he could, but worked on a ranch in the Ani~as valley just below the Waterfall Ranch. Toma~, the first of seven children, was born October 4, 1880 at Mesilla, New Mexico. He was nine when he started to school. Everyone, incl1 1ding the teachers spoke Spanish. "We didn 1 t have shows or ball games, but we played with tops, made our own bows ;:md arrows and shot some good marble games. 11 On his tenth birthday, Tom got a present he still remembers. While attempting to hitch a couple of horses to a wagon, he received a severe kick in·the head. The blow was stunning and painful, but no permanent injury was done, except for a mark still visible on his forehead. Perhaps the kick knocked some sense irto his head. -A t least Tom watched the horses more closely after ~hat. Some of the .~ost exciting days of the year during Tom's boyhood were the days of the cock races. A rooster, the target of the race, would be buried in loose earth with only its head and neck exposed. Two teams of horsemen, or horsewooen, would line up at the starting point a_~d ride off like thunder at the shot of a gun. Members of each team would lean precariously from their saddles attempting to grab the chicken and uproot it from the earth as they rode by in full gallop. Sornetines several passes were required with much jostling and shoving between the teams before either team succeeded. Once the rooster was in hand the team possessing it attempted to ride to a designated goal and back to the starting lind. The rooster, squawking and kicking, usually changed hands many times being captured and recaptured by each team in a wild. horseback free-for-all. If eyes were blackened, horses were tripped and grand fist fights broke out, that I s what was .e xpected. Spectators took a frantic interest in th'1 outcome partly because it was an exciting sport and partly because betting on the winner assumed high stakes. Most of the time there would be a women's race and then a men 1 s race. In the evening the losing teams were required to sponsor a dance and reception with refreshments for the w1.nners. Tom says the last cock race he recalls took place about 1900 in New Mexico. In the summer of 1890 Tom's father, Jose, moved his family to the . Animas Valley north of Durango. Tom was promptly hired to operate the horse drawn hay-baler, even though he was only 10 years old. For two years Tom went to school in Durango and learned a lot of English. By 1893 Tom's father had saved enough money to buy farmland near Blanco. Tom took great pride in acquiring his own pony at this time and b&d fun playing Spanish Explorer in the hills. �In 1905 when Tom came to the Pine River Valley to visit his cousin, he did not plan to make his home here. No town existed. All that was ") here at that time was the train· depot, a few homes of Tribal Members , · the Indian Agency .and the trading post where To!'.1 1 S cousin worked. While Tom was here, one of the employees .at the post quit and the Hall brothers gave Torn the job of clerking and delivering. The two Hall brothers whc ·owned the trading post lived at home with their mother. One of t~em was, never married and the other was a widower with several children. ~nployea to care for the family, keep house and cook was a young lady named Estefanita Rodriquez. Estefani~a was small, quick, efficient and ·very pretty. Since Tom was assigned to milk the cow for the family and to eat his meals at the Halls, he met Estefanita over the milk pail and quickly acquired a taste for her cooking. "We got acquainted pretty fast,n Tom admits. They were married in 1906. Tol!l. continued to work at the post for a while; t hen they moved to Bayfield where he got a job with the Postal Service delivering sacks of bulk mail from the Ignacio Depot to Bayfield a.rid then from Bayfield back to Ignacio. '1There weren I t any roads then~ just trails . I drove a spring wagon along a trail b y Buckskin Charlie's place . " Tom liked his job because he got to keep on the move and meet people, but when Haans Aspaas bought ·the Agency Stor.e, Tom went back to work in his old job. The Halls had bought Joh..'1. Taylor I s land located between the present day Bank of Ignacio and the Catholic Church. Aspaas bought a large piece of land south of the bank and together they started platting the town of I gnacio. Tom and Estefanita worked hard and saved their money till in 1913 they hired Hr. Eanzanares to build a house for them . Tom's house was one of the first large ho::;es built in Ignacio. Due to its thick adobe and solid wood construction, the house is still sturdy and attractive. Of their elght chil ·i ren, fi"';-e were , boys and thre e weI·e girls. Filbert died at the age of eighteen. All the · others survive. From 1922 to 194-o ToI!l rented a farm 2 miles east of town. He raised wheat and hay and kept a few cattle. During these years To□ got involved in politics. "I liked it. I worked for the Democrats," Tom says. He took an active part in campaigns, contacted and influenced peoole and made many speeches for the candidates he thought were good people. · The large adobe building on Goddard Avenue, presently used as the school repair shop, was built by Ignacio !!lembers of S.P.N.D.T.U. Tom recalls with a laugh that those six letters appeared in large size a~ross the front of the building and that some local residents would sofiletimes tell strangers they meant "Sor.,e Poor Mexicans Die Tied Up 11 • Actually , S.P.M.D.T.U. stands for Socio.dad Protectora Hezicana de Travaj---'-iores Unidos., a lodge devoted to protecting and i mproving the working conditions of .Mexican- Arr.ericans. Tom as an active member occasionally traveled to Alamosa for regional meetings . For ~any years their building was used by various groups for meeting, parties and dances and otherwise served as the major social center in town . Estefanita's house and yard were always showplaces of flowers. She grew every kind of fruit and vegetable she could crowd into her garden. She sold eggs produce and cream. Both Garcias were hard-working all their lives. They provided well for their family and encouraged them to get as mum education as possible. In spite of the obligations of a large family and a .lifeti!!!e of hard work, Tom and Estefanita were aware of the needs of their neighbors. Those who ~.now them re~ark that the Garcias reme□bered the poor and offered help wherever grief or sickness or ) always trouble occurred. �Estefanita suffered several periods of illness during the su~er .and_fall of 1973. She died in mid-December. Today, when Tom has visitors, he rnay get a mischievous look in his eye and inform them that the happiest hours of his life were spent in the arms of another ~an's wife. Before his guests are too shocked he explains that he's talking about his mother. Tom is now 93, looking for his 94th birthday in October. He doesn't get around too well nowi but his mind is alert and his memory is good, especially regarding the.distant past. When the days get war~er, Too will spend many hours in the sun on his porch enjoying his life on that day and remembering the good and the bad, the grief and the joys , the mistakes and the successes of 93 years. If you're going that way and can stop for a few minutes, he will enjoy your visit, but □ore than that, you may learn a thing er two.

Certainly these are all legiti~ate concerns and the Govern~ent and countless thoughtful citizens have begun to do something about i mproving the se conditions . .· · . However, -in one of t hese areas, t he deterI!lined individual could do more · to help himself. Too many lonely people sit ba.ck and wait f or the world to come to them •. Friendship and contact with the busy world around us takes some effort. The suggestions that follow should do much to take a person , out of himself, gain him new acquaintances, and keep hit:1 in touch with daily ha; penings . The man or woman al one, the shut-in , even the handicapped, will find · something here to broaden his horizon . 1. Keep a birthday f i le. • Write a letter t o the birthday person. will cheer him, cheer you , and is cheaper than a card. It 2. Read the newspapers. When you see the name or picture of' sor::eone who has gained an honor or done so~ething i mportant, write hira a letter of congratulation . Cut out the article and send i t to him . Be sure- to enclose your name and address. You may get an answer. 3. Go to c!-un·.eh . Even if' you li!:i.VE: to take a taxi, go as of t en as possible . This.is a marvelous place to strengthen your spirit and make new fri ends. i-,fany churches furnish transportation f or thos e who have none . j I+. Pursue a handicre.ft. Whether you do knitting, oil painti ng, woodworking, or whatever, it will give a new dimension to your life. 5. Give a children's party. Your neighborhood children will think you're special, and you will have a wonderful ti:t:1e planning, decorating, and entertaining f or such an appreciative group. · 6. Watch TV. No, not just passively. Get involved. Write a let ter to a station protesting as offensive program. Then immediately write a lette r of thanks to a station for a program you r eally en j oyed. 7. Plant sorr.ething. Even if you live in one room you can have a window garden. The ~ew life you see there will give you a sense of renewal. 8. Have a -:pet. Many apartments will allow small, well-behave d pets , and it is impos s ible to feel unloved if you have one. Even a canary gives you the pleasure of caring for another life. 9. Take a walk. Use a different route every day. It is very probable that you will meet new _friend~ and neighbor s on each route. ~ 1 O. Freshen up your wardrobe. Clean. press, and organize your personal apparel so well, no matter how modest it is, that you could be ready to take a trip on s hort notice. Who lmows - you may . In the meantime , · you can t ake pride in your appearance. .1 �i. 11. Observe. Sit outside awhile and look around you. ChallengP. you~self to write a gcod description of all you see, using the most coloxful words you can think of to describe a garden~ traffic, the sunset, children playing, etc. Polish these mini-notes, then use them in the next letter you ·w-rite. 12. Do something for someone. Social agencies and churches have many projects that you night do such as telephoning shut-ins, sewing, etc. Being ne~ded is such a wonderfully satisfying feeling. 13. Try something new. Do your hair a different way, try a new color sweater or shirt, eat a new food, learn a new song, change the furniture ai1ything! Don't ever let yourself get into a rut. Nothing is so conducive to growing old. 14. Plan menus ahead. Make out menus for a week, never repeating a food, and include something new at least once a week. Learn to prepare it well. 1,. Read, read, read! Read everything you can - books, newspauers, poetry, plays, magazines, cookbooks. Expand your lr..nowledge constantly. Describe something you've liked to a friend. Keep a notebook of interesting facts you want to remember. 16. Do something on this list every day and see how many ideas you can add. One who is well should occasionally do all these things. But it is surprising how many people let theI;1sel ves grow stale ,'Ii th a routine that centers solely around the~selves. With a little irragination a person can make a busy and rewardL1g life for himself, and n.is frienJs will n2vsr thi11.lc of him as old. A shut-in he may be, but if he widens his circle of interests and friends, he'll never be a shut-out. "First-I think you should take him off that diet.... " " . . .

Age; however, is a relative thing. · John and Kitty were narried for 40 years, and had 15 chilcren, the last of whom was born when John was 81 years old.

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.
