Paso, Texas. Funeral services were Thursday, February 1 o, f'r,om the Ignacio Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Don Kratz of£iciating. Burial was in the Ignacio Cemetery. Jake, as he was better known f .rom the time he was a small boy, spent bis 95 years in ~any areas and in many occupations. . . Recalling when he was in first grade in school in Saguache he told how the McJunkin family came a-cross the plains in a e overed wagon~ He admitted to being sea.red at night when he .heard the coyotes. He had a lifelong interest in music and played the 11iolin a.nd guitaro He said he remembered his mother saying, 11 .Take, I wis h you would s t op plunking away on that guitar, you are about to drive me . crazy" . . In his early years around this area he pl ayed his fiddle at t he county dances and his wife, Ruby, corded on the Piano. He was still playing for his own entertainment in his 80s. vlhen Chrestino Casias, another old time musician, came to see him the two played for hours at a time. . As a young man he freighted across the Navajo :r.eservation, helped . sutvey for a railroad in Arizona and was in the Silverton - Ouray area when t he mining days were a t their height, before he was out of his te~ns. An older l?rother, Elton, freighted supplies from Silverton across Engineer Mountain to Lake Cit.y. · · ·From the Ignacio Chieftain for J'uly 1 9, 1966 - Mr. Mc.Tunkin recalled · he married Ruby Bryan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. (George Washi:qgton.) Bryan at the Bryan home which was across from the present Don Gosney ranch. The Bryans and McJunkin were around before there were any houses in what is now down t own Igna cio. . In 1909 the Bryan store was located on the south s ide of the depot and at a l ater dat e Mr. Bryan built his store down to1mf (corner of Pioneer and Goddard). Mr. Bryan also built many of the present day homes in Ignacio. The Mc.Junkins lived in Durango fallowing t heir !aal'riage. Hr. McJ·un.~in thought it was probably July 4, 1909 that they and the Len.Andersons ca..~e out from Durango en t he t~ain f or the sale of lots as the land had just been thrown open for settlement. So this 4th of July a 30 or 4-0 piece band from Fagosa played for the celebration and there were . eats and speaches ·before the sale was to began, However, around noon; lightning, rain and hail and so· clod it turned to · .. snow. As the snow piled up the people took off and headed .for their hom~s and not a lot was sold. Some four years later the McJunkins did move t o Ignacio. Mr. Mc.Tun.kin ran sheep, then started in a Second Eand store business later addi ng groceries and dry goods.· After a number of years in one location t heybought the store and the business. which t hey operated until selling to Harold Phillips. They had three sons George, Grant and Harry. The McJunkins in later years lived in the :family Bryan home on Browning vhere Ed Mouser now lives. After Mrs. McJunkin's death Mr. McJunkin continued to live he:re during the summers in the house just north o:f his former home. In the winter he lt-as with his son,"Harry, in El ·Paso or his brother, J'illl, at his trading post near Winslow, Arizona • . He paint ed a good many pictures in his later years, mostly from memory of Navajoland and early day scene~. He hung these pictures on the walls of his home for his own pleasure. He did not like vdnter scenes, so he seldom painted bare trees, ice or snow. 1 �{, Get Well Soonl Sanen Frontal Russell Shock Erdman Tobias Belle Cutbair Raymonq.

Lucy Kinsloe ~&s born in Kncxville, Tenn. 1n 1856. Her father, John Bannister Gibson Kinsloe was a newspaper publisher in Knoxville who later moved to Lockhaven, Pennsylvania where he published the Lockhaven Review and the Clinton Republic. At Carlisle College in Pennsylvania Lucy net Duncan Sh.af fer. ~fnen they were married, Lucy and Duncan moved to Frostburg, Maryland, where the Shaffer's had a well established business. Frostburg is a small town(smaller than Durango) located in the narrow segment of western Haryland between Pennsylvania and West Virginia. This is Allegheny }fountain Country rich in the history of the Revolution and of the Civil War. 11 Everyplace you go is either up or down," Louisa says. Since the □ountains there are rich in bituminous coal, □ining was the chief industry when Louis.a 1 s parents setteledin Frostburg. The quality of the coal was such that it was prized by the shipping lines for their coal burning vessels. 11 The whole area is underlain with a network of mine tunnels, n Louisa explains. 11 However, the town its elf was clean and neat. All the mining work~ were located out away from the town. My father and. his brothers jointly om1ed the H.B. Shaffer Co. They sold dry goods, groceries, harne~s millinery and household supplies. The business also had an area for ,grain ~ storage, a ~111 a~d a carriage house. I ~emember the time years later.when the old Opera House burned. It was just across the street from our business and was such a hot fire, My Dae and uncles poured water on the roof of our place until the danger was past. 11 11 Hy parents c·wned one of the historic old houses in town. It had a large front porch with pillars and seven bedrooms, but no modern conveniences - no bath,electricity, or gas. However, we had one convenience few people can afford anyi!jore ... hired help. Enzie Garletz :naintained the house. She cleaned, did washi~g and ironing and most of the cooking. Jim Wilhelm was tbe b.andyrnan. He maintained the yard, brought in fuel and supplies, did Tepairs and took care cf the horses and the buggies. Aunty Powell was the midwife who helped bring Ge into the world. On occasio~s she took care of us children when my parents were away. ¥:nen my brothers Henry and Francis and I were still small children, we had a goat which could pull a little red cart with a red harness. Once in a while Jim wouli l:itch up the goat and away we would go down the alleys. I don't believe we were ever allowed on the streets with this anir:ial. 11 11 My parents were very strict and quite old fashioned. I was never· allowed to go to carnivals or Saturday night dances. I was never allowed to work in the store. Young ladies didn't do things like that. Being a 11 lady" in that time and in that part of the country involved a whole list 11 of does 11 and 1idon 1 ts 11 which mght seel:!:! ridiculous to most people today. Of course, not knowing any different, I accepted all the restrictions as normal and had a very hap,y childhood. Dad eventually sold the old hou~e. We moved for two reasons. One was to get off Main Street. 1'he other was to acquire plumbing, electricity and gas. It was great to have these conveniences.11 11 Every year we hitched up the horses for our annual picnic at Cook's Hill, a creek and woodsy area about 10 miles north of Frostburg across the Pennsylvania line. Cook's Mill was a beautiful strean. 1'le ate, played in the water, ran in the 'Woods and played games. Even though it was only 10 ·miles, it was an all day trip. I always felt sorry for the horses in that country - up and dov.n hill everywhere we went." 11 11 �.!,' The 4th of July was ,·a big deal too. Dad would buy each of us 'a. poke of fireworks' and turn us lqose. 11 "When the First World War started, I - was a.bout 12 years old. Once a --~yeek the ladies and girls in Frostburg got together to knit cans and caats ..:or the Bf?lgian Babies. 11 · • 11 The crash in 1929 hit our family hard as it did everyone. We got 15¢ on the dollar for whatever was in the bank. During the years following Dad's brothers died one by one. Finally he sold out the business. The building was bought by the Knights of Columbus and used for their meetings until it burned down a few years ago. 11 "In High School I started dating. My boyfriends and I went to the Nickelodeon shows at the Palace and the Lyric Theaters. Sometit:1es we went to the Vaudeville shows at the old Opera House. When the circus came, we had to go to Cumberland to see it. This was 11 miles and down hill all the way." Louisa and Martin Hartig were married in Baltimore in 1925'. For years Martin was a foreman at the Frostburg Cellunise Corporation, which nanu 7 factured artificial silk. He changed jobs during the Second World War to the Blue Ribbon Bread Co. During the war the windows of the plant were all painted black and all the hoI'les in town had blackout drapes. Whenever the a air raid _a.lart:Js went off at night everything was blacked- out in to..,.m. A.riy household showing a light was fined. The ladies i n town g-0t involved in hos pital work for the war effort. 11 We made stretcher pads for the battlefront out of layers of lace cur~ tains contributed by the families in the county - and we 0ade maroon sliPoers and r obes for the red cross. 11 - - "Before and after the war 1-fartin and I did a lot of traveling. We went to ~uebec, Canada, once and to ~.-lillia0.sburg and other points south. !·!n.rtin was a big football fan,. Since our tovm was halfway between Wash_ngton ~"'ld. Pittsburg, we took our pick on the weekends of which !)lace to go. 11 The E:artigs have one daughter, Lucy. In 1953 Lucy and b.er husband became parents of twin girls, I{arta and Harsha. Their grandfather, :-:a:rtin~ uas esuecially proud because the gi::-1 s were born on his birthda:r, ITove?:.oer 10th. Wh~n the tvins were a little over two years old, their :::,arents moved to Alamogordo, Hew Nexico. After a few t:1onths went by, l•~artin said, 11 Wha t do you think about moving to New Mexico? 11 _Louisa replied, 11 If that' s what you want to do, let 1 s go. n 11 ·we lived at Alamogordo 10 years and liked it, Especially at first we enjoyed the warm cli:c:iate year round. But gradually we began io miss the changing of the seasons. When the kids 1'.1oved up to Colorado, we came too, and have liked it very much. The climate and snow and changing seasons are much 1:1ore like our old home in Maryland. We did a. lot of traveling in the west once we lived here - to Carlsbad and 1-:exico and Grand Canyon and Yel lowstone - all good times. 11 Martin died s uddenly on June 4, 1971. A few months later Louisa sold their home in the country and moved into Ignacio. She is an active partici pant i'n all the senior citizen's activities in this area. Every Tuesday after noon for the past 5 yea.rs she has taught knitting a.11d crocheting at the senior center. There are things Louisa lilces about the East and things she likes about the West and there certainly are differences, sµe says. 11 For one t1"'.ing: here, it's not who you are, it's what you'Ye done that counts. 11 Shelby Smith ... �Welcome to our ~fa!'ch Social -Friday, 11at·ch 25th, 1977 Senior Center(Uorth of Ignacio) HOW: not luck MJJN DISH:~ Fried Chicken DATE: WHERE: .Allison-Arbo.les - Please bring sal·ads and lo:r vegetables Town of Ignacio - Please bring main dishes Rural Areas ::w & near Ignacio - Please bring desserts Charlie Kent son of Isebel Kent is here visiting his Hother, Grand.ma, sisters and other relatives and friends.

Band was encamped on a hill above · the Pine River for the summer. Hartin was born in a teepee like countless other utes bac1c through the gener-ations. Lilly and her children had little conception of the great changes aoout to aff.ect their tribe. Not much l onger-~ould the Utes hunt the deer and·., the rabbits for their focd. · Not much longe r would they have · skill with bows and arrows. not much longer would they weave their own fish seines from strips of oak fibers. Martin · l earned these sk1.lls as a boy. As he becaI!l.e a ~an, he learned farl!ling skills also. When he got his own land, he raised wheat and oats, potatoes and corn and the other necessary vegetables for the table. ·Martin re-f!i.e::nbers the many ceremonials and dances and the horse racing and gambling which entertained the tribe in the cld days. His ow"Il taste s were r:;ore for quiet things. Hartin liked to fish. He especiaJ_ly liked to ride his horse into the ·middle of the Pine River and fish from horseback. All of Hartin's brothers and his sister are dead now. He never married, but he raised his nephew, Erdman Tobias, from the ti~e he was a child. Erdr:lan still lives w:i th l•~artin and they are very close . Though life has changed greatly for his tribe, r-!artin continues to lead a very sicple existence. He has never driven a car and states, nr 'd never make it ho:.::.e. if I tried . i: He has never t:raveled f a.r froE the Pine Valley except for one trip to Utah.

April 24 1903, one 7 ot ten children born to Jose Antonio and Maria Dolorita Vigil. "My father -was a farmer," Alcario says, 11 working on his own place and also working for others. When my mother died in 1911, I went to live vi.th my aunt, Marcelino Vallejos Jacquez. She never sent me to school. There vas too much work on the farm. Every day I herded goats and sheep or worked in the garden. 'I'he farming equipment we had was not too good but it worked. We plowed our rows Yi.th a wooden plow which was littie more than a stick pulled by a burro or a horse. It was all slow work, but neighbors all helped cne another. 11 11 Some of my brothers died in the nu epidemic in 1918, but my twin brother survived. He still lives at Telluride. 11 11 The nearest real town was Aztec about 30 miles away. It had a train depot, several stores and the coUl"t house. On a horse and buggy a trip to .Aztec required many hours, so we didn 1 t go very often. 11 . "My first job -for cash r:1oney was .h .aying. I got paid ten cents for a day's work. 11 W'nen Alcario was grown he got a job with the railroad and also met Rosie Torres. Alcario and Rosie were married in 1923. One child was born to them before Rosie died in 1926. Alcario worked for the next three years on the railroad line to Rico and Telluride. Most of the work was ordinary maintenance and repairs, but al.so included cleaning up train wI'ecks and derailments. _ Snowslides, rocks and I!IUd on the tracks all ca1Jsed . occasional ·wrecks. While Alcario was working at Hancos} he met Jennie Marez, whose folks had a farm near Mancos on Summer Ridge. Jennie w-as· born in Gallup and was reared by her aunt Inez Marez. Since she went to school only through sixth grade 1 Jennie never expected to become a school teacher. For two years Sunner ~idge had no money to pay a schoolteacher. Eighteen students were vithout school. Jennie 1 s relatives asked ber to teach the children. She went to school, looked at the books for reading, spelling and arithmetic and decided to give it a try. Jennie managed surprizingly well. 11 · • 1 used the switch when they needed it and whenever they got on mY nerves, I declared a vacation.n Alcaric and Jennie were !!1/U"ried at Mancos. They stayed there a while tben moved on to Towaoc and to Ignacio. The Vigils have 12 children including three sets of twins. Their children are Dolores, Joe? Margarita ltlld /tlabama-1 Dora and Dorothy (twinsi Slu.1,ley, Betty, Stella and. ~ Stephanie (t.wins) and Pete and Paul (tw.tns). · Mrs Vigil says,"People are always asking me if it 1 s hard to take care of twins. I have to tell them I don't know. When my t.dns were s~all~ people were always asking for one of them. If I would get on the train for Durango, if I weHt to the store or wherever I went, people would ask to hold one of the babies. I never .had but one at a time. 11 ilcario has quite a reputation as a fiddler. He used to play for dances in most of the tmms between here and Grand Junction. "I learned to play when I vas a ch.tld. All my relatives used to play the fiddle and the guitar, so I began trying to play. 11 Several years ago Alcario started carving his own violins. He has made 10 or i2 and still working on others~ Regarding large families Jennie says, 11 We 1 ve never been sorry we have all these children, They've all been very good to us. 11 Shelby Smith �Welcome to our May Social May 27 , 1 977 Senior Cen-ter; north of Ignacio How : Pot Luck ( Main Dish will be Turkey) Allison Arboles - Please Bring Main dishes Town of Ignacio - Please Bring desserts Rutal area N.

A:.va Christian ,-Jas from Tennessee and he took no nonsense from the kids. · 'l'hc childl·en at Haud school were normal, heal.thy,husky, rascally f'rontier kids full of mischief. Mr. Christian was a match for them. He kept 15-20 dogwood switches of various t h ickness behind the map case and he used them. Erruoi t s ays , •:ne had eyes in the back of his head. If we were inattentive · o-.r na u ghty or dull, he went for a switch. If he was across the room and couldn I t; r each us with the switch, he'd tbl ow it to us, order us to bring it to his. and then proceed to wear it out on us. Such methods seem harsh today, but he was a good teacher. He made us learn. He taught us vocal c:.nd instrumental music and public speaking. Every Friday night he required us to pa.rticipa.te in a n1iterary11 • A crowd from the surrounding territory came to these e.ffairs to •witness the students in debate, extemporaneous 0 spea.king, rec5.tatj_ons and music.

Emmit was hired as superintendent of Schools at Sharon, Kansas, then at Medicine Lodge, Kans as. In 1933 Emmit married Madge Aubley. They lived in Medicine Lodge until 1945, when Emm.it semi-retired and moved to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. "I liked to hunt and fish," Emmit says,·"and Pagosa was right in the middle of the best I could find. 0 In succ eeding years Emmit taught school in Durango, then Cortea, then as superbtendent at Dove Cre ek and at Kit Carson, Colorado, until 1959 when ~.adge died.

Max says-, 11 My father 1 s band, the Capote Band, traveled a. lot in those days. Some of them were far~ers, but most of them moved around for good hunting and the teepee uas the right thing for being on the move. There were very few white men around in those days. We hunted for deer and rabbits and herded our sheep and goats. Our games were made to give us skj.lJ.. We would throw round targets into the air and shoot them before ·t hey came down. I rnaae my own fishing pole from a willow, some string and a needle bent into a hcok. We all had horses and depended on them for all our moving around. Hy grandfather told me of a tiI!le when he was young that there were few horses. He knew of some of our people trading a child for a horse. They were valued so much when they were scarce. The Utes always liked horse races. Because the road across the river was long and straight, we bad our races there. 11 11 1.fy peop1.e were not surprized when the white man brought.the train. One of the old l!l.en had seen it in a dream. He told his people that one day white men would cor1e in a thing with smoke and fire. I never rode the train · until I was nearly grown. I was scared of it. }Tnen it came up the valley it ~ooked like it was coming straight at me. I would run. 11 Hy parents put me in the BIA boa:z;-ding school for a few years, but when I got old -enough to herd the goats they needed ne at home. We had some J.a:nd over on the Piedra River and moved back and forth to it. We :played many garc.es; some for fun and some for gambling. One was played with big nails and a pile of dirt, The nails which had numbers painted on the~ -..,ere pushed out of sight into a pile of soft earth. The players took turns poking a stick into the pile to expose a nail, They got points according to the numbers on the nails. The women watching the game would sing and dance around the pile to try to make the earth fall. Blankets, horses and noney were gambled in this game. We also had a game like the white man 1 s horseshoes only we used flat rocks which we would try to throw near or into holes dug in the ground. 11 11 By the time he was 16, Max was on his own. He worked with the crew which built the irrigation ditches. His pay was $1.50 per day. Euterpe's father, John Taylor was his boss. A few years later he went to Buckshin Arizona, to work in the cornf·ields. Before the co:-n was ripe, Eax was put on guard to shoot the blackbirds out of the fields. In harvest time he harnessed the horses every morning and helped with the picking. I always came back to Ignacio when a job ended. After a few years I got a job working at the agency. Until I met Ellen House I had no thought of marrying anyone. Why get married with no money in my pocket? 11 11 Ellen remembers, 11 Max started sending me boxes of chocolate. Sometimes there would be money in the boxes. We were married in 1925 at the court house j_n Durango. I was born in 1907. My mother, Fannie House, died in the flu epidemic of 1918 when I was 11 years old. Daisey Eagle 1s my half sister and I had a brother, Danny, and a sister named July9 Both of them died in accidents on horses. 1-fax and I lived in a house near the agency until 1934, when �3) we moved to the farm near La · Boca. We lived on the farm where Rose Watts is no~. At that time there was an old house on the farm built of posts. Later we bo12ght the land on the hill where we still live. It 1 s good ground up there with a spring nearby." After Max quit the agency, he worked for the D. & R.G.W Railroad with the crews that cleared the track of snow in the winter. Since Max was a cook's helper, his job was not too hard. The others had to use their shovels if the snow plow could not remove the drifts. The crew worked at Red Cliff and at Soldier's Summit in Utah. The crews slept in box cars. It was very cold. In 1955," Ellen says,"we built a new house on our farm. 'When we were strong, we raised sheep, horses, grain, hay and all our vegetables. I still have 9. big garden. In the 30' s many ho1boes came up from the railroad tracks and ask for something to eat. I always gave theq something. So many poor people were traveling around then. I think a farm is the best place to live, because even when· thexe are no jobss farmers have work. We sold potatoes to the BIA School and horses to the Navajos. We never liked cows, but we liked to keep goats and make cheese from thei1" milk. We I re st_ill on our farm and we don't want .to live anyplace else. 11 11 The Watts had seven children in all: Colleen, Ed, Lula, Ellenetta, Crystal, Jerry and Eunice. Only Colleen, Lula and Crystal are still living. Shelby Smith "I tkm'! su 61!)' pa:,adr." �The for~er Kathleen Shields who lived in I r;nacio as a girl was in Ig!1acio in August to l ook u p any old friends who Dight still live here and to see t he Presbyte rian Church where she had attended Sunday school. At that t i r;1e it was a l~e thodist Church . She now l ives in Texas and coming with her was her husband and two granddaughters. They all enjoyed a visit with Hrs. Vida Ritter .

The Good Old Days - Xancos had those kind of times too as well as did Ignacio . Fern Ellis in her book of t he early days of Mancos, "Cone Baclc to my Val ley" , records this recollection. A new bridge was built across the river in tmm in 1905 and the town , had passed ordinances prohibiting livestock t o be turned loose to roam at will in t he to'\im . In 1895 a town ordinance was passed agains t fast-riding and driving . It s eemed to be an almost daily occurence for s everal young men of the town to ride in and out of to,m as fast as their s teeds would carry them, almost as if they were hurrying for a doctor or escaping f ror.J an officer. There h2.d been complaints that ladies crossing the streets ·were havi ng their live s endanger ed by these young horse racers • .After a rain, the flying mud increased the fun for the boys and et1brassment for the ladies . ifou boardwaLJ.cs were laid down through tm,m which was a great help to pedestrians , especially in wet weather . By 1909 ce?:ent sidewalks had been i nstalled around the business section. Iron r ings were placed in the sidewalks at places for folks to tie their horses while shopp ing~ �Hr. and Ers.

George had been reared in Dearborn, Michigan, where he went to school with Henry Ford . (The old Gardner home is now a part of Henry Ford ' s Pio~eer Village at Dearborn.) George went west at the age of 19, settled at Sioux Falls , South Dakota , and took advantage of the Homestead Law to acquire farmland. When George died at the age of 48, he was farming 1500 acres of rich ~Jssou~i Valley farmland with horses. After his death Hanna moved the children to town and rented the land to others. 11 Heinie and I attended the same high school," Dick r ecalls, 11 but since I :was a member of a higher class, I never knew her till several years l~ter. I didn't have much time to get into mischief. When I wasn' t going to school , I was working . Part of the time I did chores for farmers. For a while I helped the school custodian until I got a job at the telephone co~pany. It amounted to 40 hours per week countin~ all the evening hours and an all night shift Saturday night through Sunday morning . I worked on the test board tracing dovm ~alfunctions in the circuits. Originally, I was paid $30 . 00 per month which later raised to S45 . 00 . In SUJ!l.Oers I really made big money. I t raveled with a telephone construction gang as time clerk and bookkeeper. We installed telephone sµstems in small towns in South Dakota and Minnesota. For that I was paid S75. 00 per month plus my keep. Those were the days before cables and micro-wave transmission. Since every conversation required two separate lines, the telephone poles of those days were laden with several cross arms and dozzens of wires. Long distance calls could be heard only a certain distance. The farthest city we could speak with directly was Chicago. Beyond that an. operator in Chicago would have to relay the message on to another operator until it reach the party being called. I learned to use the telegraph. Telegraph messages were relayed on the phone lines without interfereing with conversations. Because of my work I always had money during high school and for college. 11 Dick was about to finish his sophomore year at South Dakota State when he enlisted in the Army for World War I. He sailed to France in a convoy of 13 ships . The crossing required 13 days, landing i n France on Frid~y the 13th. Many of the men were spooked by those numbers, but any bad luck incurred did not affect Dick. He was a member of a special rail road unit which built narrow gauge tracks and operated supply trains right up to the trenches. 11 Once our cutfi t connected its lines to some Ger~an tracks, crossed into German Territory and pulled a German train bacx into Allied territory. 11 Dick returned to America in July of 1919 and enrolled in college again. The first day back his friends invited him to go with the~ to a dance. Though he didn't have a date, Dick decided to go . As sooa as he arrived, one of his fri ends pointed out Heinie and said, 11 There is a girl from Sioux Falls. You should get acquainted. 11 That ' s exactly what Dick did. Henrietta Amelia is the youngest child of Henry and Amelia Benson, both of whom were born in Sweden. 11 My parents taught me English first, then Swedish. Father was a laborer. I lived in the same house I was born in until I married." �~ Heinie had three brothers and one sister. After graduating from high school she enrolled at South Dakota State to study home economics and commerce. She had been a secretary before college and afterwards did secretarial and book-keeping work all her life. Even though Dick and Heinie were serious students, they found some time for fun. A new music professor from New York who knew little about the ways of the west roomed in the same boarding house as Dick. On a snowy, windy night Dick and some of his friends took the prof on a snipe hunt and left him literally holding the bag. About 2;00 A.H. when the boys were about to get worried the professor came wearily up the stairs. After dating for four years Dick and Heinie were married in 1923. Dick says, 11 Some people may think that is a long t:..me to date someone, ·but in those days a boy was supposed to have a job and something to offer before he got married. I had a degree in agriculture and one in school administration. }:;:y first job was with the first rural consolidated school system in the state at Hadison. We had the first school buses and worked all .the bugs out of running a consolidated arrangement. After two years of teaching agriculture) I was selected to be the superintendent. I stayed with that two years and then took the job of county agent. 11 When World War II started Dick felt a responsibility to help with the war effort. He quit the county agent job and started teaching in a Radio School for the Army Air Corp. At first he was stationed in Sioux Falls, then in St~ Louis. In 1943 the Gardners r·eturned to Hadison where Dick resumed his job with the school until 1956. It was not a matter of being unhappy with life in Madison which started the Gardners looking for another place to live. They loved their life and friends there. 11 11 •,'le hs.d never lived outside South Dakota, Heinie says, ! 1 and ·we decided j_f we were ever going to see any other part of the count:r::, ·we should go then. Dick resigned his job a..~d we started looking. Actually we had Colorado in mind from the start. When we got to Denvei', Dick visited the Colorado Department of Education and learned there were openings for administrators all over the state. We made a list of possible places and began looking. If we didn 1 t like the looks of a place we wouldn't stop. 1'-le almost didn't come to Ignacio beca1.rne an outdated map showed an unpaved road over here. He iaP.1ediately liked the looks of the country around he re , but did not make a final decision until later. After visitin g s everal schools in Texas , Dick called back and accepted the job in I gnacio . He ·was principal at the high school for 3 years and of the grade schoql 3 years -until he retired in 1962, That same year we went to the World ' s Fair in Seattle and 11 then on to Hawaii to visit the grave of our son who died in the war. The Gardner 1 s son, Richard Robert, whom they called Bobby , was born in 1921+, Bobby was tall, 6 1 2 11 , ambitious and had high ideals . He entered the 11arines in 194-2 and was killed in action on Ha.rch 13, 1945', on Iwo .Tim.a. He was awarded the Silver Star, Purple Hea:rt with 2 gold stars, Presidential Units Citation ribbon with star, AsiaticPacific Campaign Hedal and the World War II Victory Hedal. Af'ter retiring, Dick served on the Ignacio town Board, as tovm clerk and as manager of the town gas system. He has been active in Lion 1 s Club, American Legion, VFW, the Regional Planning Commission and Alpha Zeta, a national agricultural society. Both of them have been active in the Presbyterian Church and have held various service positions in the local church. 'We've had good friends everywhere we have lived," the Gardners 11 say, but we'd never be happy away from the mountains • 11 1 1 ·, Shelby Smith • �(>eA.

Her mother, Hary, (Ada is not certain of her name)died when Ada was very young. Ada had 5 brothers and one sister, who was her identic~twin~- After their mother died, the family began selling the land at Breen. In the legal transactions the names of the twins ·were reversed. Ada originally was named Hary, but in the documents was called Ada and Ada was called Eary. Rather than disrupt the legality of the land docu ments, the family decided to continue calling Mary, Ada, and Ada, Mary. A short time later the origi!1al Ada died. So the original Hary, nO"w called Ada, has preserved her sister 1 s na~e for 84 years. Ada came to the Indian School at Ignacio, which she attended for 2-3 years. On a trip back to Breen, when Ada ·was about 10, she fell from a horse, striking her head on a rock. Shortly afterward she began to lose her vision. She was sent away to several hospitals during the next 2 years. ·when she was home, one of theme di cine men, a sun-dance chief, named Cunada, treated her. She credits hio more than the hospitals for bringing a full recovery of her sighto John Russell sold the remainder of his land at Breen and moved to a farm just north of the present cluster homes north of Ignacio. Edna Russell and Sarah Pinnecoose are Ada's half sisters from her dad's 2nd marriage. Ada lived in Dulce for 5 years. She enjoyed the train rides between Lumberton & Breeno ' In 1911 Ada married Graves Stone Kent. His land was several miles east of Ignacio, where the Kents still live. During the early years the n:ortali ty rate anong all peoples was high. lfany of Ada's relatives died of whooping cough and pneumoniao The Kents raised cattle, chickens and horses. The gathered and dried wild herbs and wild potatoes for winter. -The government supplied dried rice,& beans. ·winters weremuch worse in those days. Snow would pile half-~ay up the windows. The winter Isabel was born, Ada says, "You couldn 1 t everi see the fenceposts.~ The Kent children who survived to adulthood are Bonny, Katy Seal, Ida and Isabel. Four of the ota.ers died of the flu in 1918. Some died without names because it was not the custom to give official nas.es to the little ones - until they were enrolled in the tribe. Shortly after Ada & Graves were married, they started on a trip to Breen. Before they got far, a ~an came running up to them carrying a tiny crying baby which he had found deserted in the woods. Ada could tell the little girl was no more than 1 or 2 days old and starving. She took the baby and began thinking how to feed her. The solution was rather ingenious. They returned home, caught a nanny goat and having no bottle or nipple, washed the teats of the goat and let the baby suckle it. She drank greedily. They took their live r;rllk machine with them in the wagon to Breen and got along just fine. Ada soon figured out the baby was the illegitemate child of one of her grandfathers relatives. She raised little Annie(Ada doesn•t tell her last name) until she was old enough to go to boarding school. 11 I went from the goat to the bottle with my own children, 11 Ada says. 11 I raised my own, part of my grandchildren and never asked any money because I love children~ u1,ry father and grandparents always t.:ught me never to argue or fight with my husband and not to talk about him behind his back. I did what they said and we were happy. That is why it was so hard to lose him when he died.11 Ada remembers how people were never alone with their work in the old ,days. They helped one another -plant, plow and harvest. They traded and shared their food so that no one was without the necessities.

Richard was the oldest·or five sons -and one daughter of the Ben Wetherills, Quakers, who fled.from England -to the United.States. They moved a number of tines finally developing the Alamo ranch in the Mancos valley.

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.

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 .
