The night be~ore Christmas Eve all of us little children, Frances Buck, Joe Weaver, myself and others sneaked out of our rooms to peek at the big girls assigned to wrap the presents and fill the stockings. The next night there weuld be a program with singing of carols. Then, when we heard bells jingi ing in the hall we got so exc.i ted we could not sit still, becaus,~ we ~ w who was coming . Santa ran into the hall with his pack t ull • • pr esents . Every year the girls got a doll and the boy~ got a ball or some other toy.11 Eva Cook nr grew up in Norwood near London, England. Sometimes on Christmas morning we receive~ an apple and nuts, sometimes not. Toys were OUL of the question. Usually we had Christmas pudding and a good dinner. We went caroling, sometimes in bitterly cold. weather. So~e of the people opened their door~ to listen and dropped pennj_es into our ha ts. 11 Gertrude Dunn .~ \;;,, ~\.<:.. "My family was moving to south._. Texa,s in De.c ember . The day bef ore Christmas ·we camped near the~ tockyartls of a small town . Dad went sh6pping a nd returned with'"toys f e r the youngest chil dren a1:d with sweatE!:-rs for my two older -Sisters and myself. I was at the age when I was almost too old f or toys, but wished I wern 1 t. · The sweaters were very beautiful, bu£ Dad could sense I was a little disappointed. A while later he returned with, a doll for me. 11 Beulah Miller "I was the youngest child in my family growing up on the ranch east of Ignacio. Santa always came to our house the night before Christmas while I was asleep~ I woke up before dawn, got my parents up and ran in to the fireplace to see what was in my stocking, then to the tree for a present. My parents knew I was crazy about trains. My favorite present was a wind-up train. Another time I got a little steam engine with a lead flywheel which burned alcohol. It worked great until one day I put in too much alcohol ·and melted the flywheel right off of it. 11 Emmet Hott "I can still hear my Dad saying ; 1 Go to bed children; so Santa Claus can come.• Then the next morning he came into our room and said,'l~ke up Children. I think Santa Claus has been here.' We got up right then and ran in to the tree and tore into the presents.rt ·Euterpe Taylor �r 'Dad always sent us to bed real early on Christmas Eve so Sa.nta. could come . The next morning we found apples and -oranges, but no presents. But we didn't know the difference, so·we were happy with what got. ' 1 E~a Gallegos ,e - - -- -- - ---- ~ ,;I was one of 10 children growing up on a ranch near Rogers, Arkans!as. Every year my parents bought each of us a new suit of clothe:s and one or two special toys for Christmas. With that many peopl~ in a house it was impossible to hide the toys en the pla~e, so my Dad left them at the neighbors very secretively until Christmas Eve. Some years he was so quiet about it we wondered whether we were going to get anything. One morning when I woke up very early to check the Christmas tree, I found the decorations afire. Fortunately we were able to wake everyone up and put out the fire before it destroyed the house. 11 Paul Lunsford 1 .was a very 'bad girl one year. !1y father, who 01'med. a book and stationery store in Durango, brought a catalog to my !:'!.other who picked the toys to order for us children. I looked in the catalog to see what mother had ordered for us. There were her neat check:narks beside certain items. Then a brilliant a.,,~d naughty idea came to ~e. I ~ade checknarks just as neat as my mother 1 s beside several expensive toys and waited to see what would happen. When the toys ar!'ived, tiy nother was confounded. Dad put theIL- in the store to see if they woulci sell, but they were too expensive for most people to buy. One was a little tea table with.4 tiny chairs. Another was a miniature electric range which really cooked. When they didn't sell, Dad brought them ho~e to :u;,e. Don I t think I didn't enjoy them! 11 Margaret Wiseman 11 ) ------ 11 I was 5 years old and wanted a new doll badly. My mother bought a china head, made a body for it and sewed a beautiful blue dress. 1 When mother sent me to bed, the doll was already lying on my pillow~ Lottie Dannels ------ ------ ~~ ?

I was born June 6, 1907 in t he Pine valley across the river froffi Ignacio, probably in a teepee. The Indians often moved into their teepees during the warm months , partly because t hey were easy to move when they got restless and partly because they reminded them of an earlier time. My father, Henry Shoshone, Sr . , was a tribal policeman. Death came early and unexpectedly for hhi~ . He was sent to patrol a fair in DiJrango and in the course of his duty he chased some unrul:r drunks, stepped in a hole while running and broke his leg. Infection set in. The leg was amputated and he died from loss of blood. A few nonth later my mother, Laura, died also. I do not know the cause of her death. 11 11 I was placed in the Indian Schnol Dormitory north of Ignacio. Since I was so young, I was placed with the cook, Mrs. Simpson, (.Tesse Hott's mother) who had an anartment in the dorm. Later she married and became 1{rs. Stauffer. She was like a mother to me and took a special interest in me until I left the Ignacio School at the age of 11. The dormitory I lived in is now the boys dorm. At that time one end was for boys and the other for girls. Some of the other original buildings are now gone and the water tower which gave us so much fun is now gone. We were not ~upposed to climb it ; so , of course, we did. I tried it once, but got so scared half way up, I cane back do~,\rn. None of us went home for the holidays . We stayed at school all year until summer vacation. I spent summers with my sis t er l·iay. 11 11 At the e.ge cf 11 I was sent to school at Towaoc for a year. Then I went to Santa Fe where I finished 8th e:rade. I could have .eone to Albuquerque to finish high School, but instead I took a job working in a Sanitarium at Dulce. Later I worked for a Presbyterian missionary in t he Dulce a rea . When he mov ed to Al buquerque, I c awe bac k to Ignacio . Erne st Burch went to s chool wi t h rae , but I never paid any a ttention t o him until I move d back t o I gnac io . He built dams and irr igation ditches f or the Pine River Pro jec t . He had boug ht an old Ford c a r with a crank s tar t . 2:t was f un t o go on da t e s i n a car . We got married in 1927. At f i rs t we lived with my s i ste r J ane Bir d in an old adobe h ouse l ocated near the present site of the Tribal Maintenance Shop. Soon we moved into a 2 room frame house with a livingroom-kitchen and one bedroom. It had a wood-burning cookstove and no other improvements. Later we got Louie Val-dez to build us a l+ room adobe house. It still stands s outh of Graves Gunn's house. We had running water in a spring down near the river bank. We fenced the spring to keep dogs and cows from spoiling the clean water. Fortunately I knew how to ride a horse, because Ernest needed me to help round up his cattle. It was ~ostly open range, so the cows wandered in all directions. Ernest kept both cattle and sheep f~r many years.After several years we built a house uo on the hill east of Ignacio. It was a special house since it was our first one with modern pluobing and lights." 11 My husband was a singer and dancer in the old tradition of the tribe. He was often the first one up the valley to sing and play the drum while the Sun Dancers held up their arms to pray. He knew the Bear Dance scngs and often helped with that. All the Indian ways and ceremonials were very important to him. He followed the Indian ways until he died in 1977. 11 �~ I 91 'l 11 We had 10 children in all. The ones still l iving are Homer, Ernes tine, LaVarra~ Nova Dene, Robert, Dennis and Cynthia. Franklin 11 died when he was 1~. Two others died when they were babies. ' l We moved to Ignacio i n April of 1977 . Erne s t died in November. Ais funeral was at Sacred Heart Church in Durango where we were married 50 years befor e . wnen I think about the days when we were young, I remember how active we were. We baked our .own bread a nd made quil ts •. If we needed ·something from ·the s t o~e 1 we walked to town with packs on our backs to carry the canned goods. l think we have gotten too lazy." 11 The imuortant thing for me today is to go to church. I like to go t wice on Sunday. I enjoy i t and I enjoy going to Worker's Conference i n other towns . I try to get my Indian friends to go to church regularly. 11 I t helps me and I think i t would hel p them, too. 11 Shelby Smith Ada Shepherd, one time Ignacio primary teacher, is now making her . h ome in the Good Samaritan Center in Loveland, Colorado.

That 's what brought my father, Jame s Hartley , and his parents out of Tennessee and what brought my mo ther, Sally Teter and her family out of Missouri. Both f a~ili es arrived ~t Fl ora Vi sta , New Mexico , about the same time . When mother and dad married , my mother alr eady had three daughters from a prev1.ous marriage. Her first husband had died . My half-si st~rs were Bell e, Dora and Hazel. The year before my parent ' s marriage , Dad had taken a ranch on the La Pl ata River northwest of Farmington , N.M. That's where I and my lit tle brother, Teddy , were born. Dad called his place 11 The Greenhorn Ranch" because he said all the settlers in that part of the valley including himself we re greenhorns . We had dry land about 2½miles eas t of the river . The men decided to build an irrigation ditch. The contour of the land required a ditch 7 ~iles long which the ~en dug -by hand -with picks and shovels . With no one to survey it they had to eyeball and estimate the grade the best they could . They had problems with it, but it worked when there was enough water. Teddy died of the whooping cough when he was two years old." · "Dad rais ed corn and alfalfa and a big garden. Mother canned all the food she could. I suppose we would have starved wi thout the garden. I learned to milk the cow and feed the pigs.and chickens. It was fun to milk. When I first l earned I took a 5 lb. lard can, milked it full and thought I had done enough. Mother soon explained i f I started to milk I had to finish or I ' d ruin the cow. My folks were v e ry :poor, but that wasn ' t unusual . There were □any poor people then. We drove a team and wagon to Farmington, which was about 3 blocks long or to Aztec, the county seat , which wasn ' t much bigger. When Dad finally could buy a ' . 'bugg~, , we t hough t we had soma t hing . We ware so thrilled . i i 11 At Christmas time my par ents didn 1 t h ave much money to spend, but I always got at least one nice toy and something t o wear . You could buy a beautiful doll for a dollar . I attended the Williams School until -iOth grade. My dad served as school director with Joe Glai s ter and John Smith for years and years. He helped rai"se the money to buy :t:1aterials and build the school . Frequently, we had dances to earn money for school expenses. The old school is still there. It's now used as a fir e station for the communi ty. 11 " In 1911 every bridge was washed off the La Plata River . One or two persons drowned. Somebody a f ew years ago built a house close to the mouth of the river near Far mington . I don't wish them any harm, but someday that house is going to be washed away , 11 ''World War I came and went while we were still on the farm. We didn't know a lot about the war except what we read in the Aztec paper. It seemed very far away . 11 "I met William Hill about the time he came home from the war. He had a farm on the La Plata about 10 miles north of my Dad ' s place. We were marri ed in July of 1926. I had one daughter, Frances , fr om an earlier marriage . Frances learned to love Willia m and he loved her. We farmed the , plaae on · the LaPlat a and did well. Both of us l oved to go . I' m still a gadfly . We travelled every year to Arizona, or California or Oregon. We saw all the sights. William liked to gamble. Sometimes we'd stop at Reno . He was good at those games. If he sta rted to los e , he'd walk away for a day or so. If he started to win, he stuck with it and sometimes made a lot of money. Of course it didn't cost much to tra vel then. Gas was about 15¢ a gallon. When we were first married we had a Model T Roadster. We got to Portland, )regon, �o,,u,t/£/ 1171 ·~ just as they were having a gas wa.r. We filled u{f with 10¢ gas and took off down the street. A little further down the road we saw a place offering 9¢ gas. William said, 'I have a notion to go to the edge of town and dump this fuel and fill up with 9¢ gas, 1 but he didn't. We didn't have any children of our own, but we had a wonderful life on the farm and on our trips •. · By 1950 William was not able to work any more. He suffered from emphysema caused by the poison gas he breathed during the war. The next 16 years he was in and .out of the veterans hospital until he died in 1966. 11 11 1 moved to Ignacio to be near my daughter and son-in-law, Frances and Dick Baird, and their children. Three of my grandchildren also live in Ignacio, Janneth King, and her brothers Clifford and Daleo Richard Baird lives in Arizona and Bill is in California. 11 11 The road across the hills to Aztec was hardly a road when I was a little girl, but I lived to go then just as much as I love to go now 11 °'•. r, Things in this country have changed a lot in the last 50 years. When I was a little girl, the road over the hills to AztP.(! was hardly a road, but I loved to ~go then just as I love to go now when travel is· easy. 11 Shel by Smith· Mr. & Mrs. Rex Richmond enjoyed a visit with Vivians sister Hr. & Mrs. Otis Price from Carlsbad, New Me~ico and a nephew Bill Mc:t>finn from Grants, New Mexico.

I do not r emember him since he died shortly after I was born, but my mother told me he was a blacksmith at the old Indian Agency north of town. Before my □other married John , she was married to Julian Buck. My half-brother, Daniel Buck , attended the Sa.nta Fe Indian School, but died while he \-;as still a young man. My two half-sisters were July Turner and Ellen Watts. July was kicked by a horse and died while she was a young girl . 11 "I was born February 22, 1901.t-, at the Southern Ute Agency. The long white building where I was born is still there. The first place I t..:an remember living was a canvas wigwam l<;>cated just across the bridge east from Ignacio . Since· my mother was a widow, she worked very hard making beadwork and beaded rtoccasins and l eather saddles to sell. She taught I!le to do beaded belts and moccasins . 11 "When I was 5 years old she sent me to the Southern Ute Boarding School. Dolly Watts, Edith Burch and Ollie Tyler started at the sar::e time. We all cried. We were afraid and we didn 1 t want to go . It was just as bad as we thought it would be. The big girls pinched us and teased us . The next year I got to go to Spring Creek School. It was a small country school with a lot of Anglo children. That's where I learned English." "In 1918 was the terrible flu epidemic and my mother died from pneumonia. I went to live with my cousin Page Hright at La Boca. I helped herd the sheep and do other work. It was at La Boca School I finished 8th grade. A few years later I met Amos Eagle. Amos liked to do farm work. He had worked as a farm laborer at Rocky Ford . We were married at the court house in Durango. Our first ho::ue was a 3 room aqobe house on my mother 1 s Spring Creek Allotment. It was a warm house and big enough for us at that tine. Amos was a good farmer. He raised hay and gr ains and sheep and cattle. He sold cows whenever we needed money . In the winter he sold hay from a big haystack to the white people. We had many good neighbors. We helped them and they helped us. I can remember helping the white ladies can cherries and other food for winter. Amos had a buggy with a top which we drove to Ignacio on Saturdays to buy food and see the people." 11 Sometimes today at the store I see people which I remember from those days, but they are old ladies now and I have forgotten their names. I remember the San Ignacio Fiesta many years ago. The Spanish people put up little stands to sell fruit and tortillas and there were foot races .and horse races. 11 11 • Amos and I had 4 children and adopted one. Ivy is the oldest, then Mildred, who died when she ·was a baby, Lenora, who died of fever when she was 12 and Judy. Also we adopted Beverly." "We sold my mother's al.lottment to the tribe and moved to town about 1956. Amos died 6 years ago." "I always liked the Bear Dance and used to cook food for the feasts . With one hand stiff, I can't do my beadwork and I can't cook very easily, but I still like to - go to the powwow to .listen and watch. 11 interviewed by Shelby Smith �·• L anan Bryan , now in the U.

Q PIX3~t,-~ /~ - �FRANK PADILLA Frank Padilla was born at La Jara, New Mexico, (near Cuba) in 1903. His parents, Jose R~fael Padilla and Alcaria (Mestas) Padilla, had three older children when Frank was born. They are Beatrice, Amalia and Cleotilde. The Padill~ •s moved to Arboles, Colorado, when Frank was one year old. His father worked for the D. & R.G. Railr.oad building track~ His foreman was a. Japanese man~ The 11 extra gang",as the Japanese crew was known, created quite a stir of interest since most of the local people had never s een Orientals before and had certainly never seen anyone eat so much rice. · Frank says he attended school at Arboles f'Jr one year, then went to college at the sheep ca~p. Sheepherding was Frank 1 s life work. Many of those years he was employed by Salvadore Rodriquez, an uncle of Fred Rodriquez. Except for a few trips to Grand .Tunctio11 and Utah and one memorable trip to Los Angelos, during which he missed a bus connection and toured all over Pueblo and Denver, Frank has spent his whole life in the Arboles/Ignacio area. Frank has never been married. During the interview we teasingly asked him -whether he had ever had any girl friends. He set us in our· places by replying the only lady he is i11terested in is the Virgin Mary. Frank's devoted religious faith is well kno~m in this community. If the people of Ignacio were asked to name the person who is the best neighbor in town, I a.Iil confident Frank would be one of the winners. For many years Frank has taken care of the grounds at the Catholic Church. Since moving to one of the senior center apartments, he has watered and hoed all the flower beds and swept and cleaned the walks and the parking lot. Every spring Frank visits both the Catholic and the non-Catholic ) cemetaries to search for any untended graves. He removes the weeds and cleans every grave which appears to be neglectedo In his daily walks bet-ween Ignacio and the senior center he picks up and disposes of the litter a.long both sides of' the highway. All these tasks are perfor~ed without thought of pa:rment and apparently without any resentment that others do not hel p. For the se r easons 1~e are pleased to honor Frank Padilla as our senior citizen of the month. He is a responsible, dj_gnified resident and has set an admirable example for the rest of us to be a friend and neighbor to our whole community. ~ Shelby Smith �Don and Jayne Lyday and son Chris spent a couple . of weeks in this area the last of August~ They were overhauling their cabin property north of Durango and their cabin and trailer below the Vallecito.

"Hy Dad , Rob.ert Lee Penne11,·was born at Van Wert, Ohio, in He moved west for his health in 1907 or 1908, settling in Rocky Ford for a while, then moving on to Ft. Collins, where ee was employed by the Rocky Mountain Bee Company. My mother, Caroline Wood, was born in England in 1889 and moved to Ft. Collins with her parents whe n she was 14 years old. My parents were married in Ft. Collins in 1909 and moved over to Ignacio in 1912, when I was 2 years old. Dad rented a box car to transport his co~q, his horses and several bee hives. ~e lived in town several years while Dad built up his bee business. I attenced the old grade school located on the same site as the present Ignacio Grade school. By 1917 Dad's business was doing well enough for him to buy a Kissel Truck. It had no windshield and no top. We built a box bed for it about twice as lortg as a pick-up bed for hauling the bee hives. Dad started teaching me to drive while I was very young. I soon thought I was a hot driver and liked to drive fast. Driving, however was only a warm weather pleasure. Before winter Dad drained the radiator and put the truck up on blocks. Harry He Junkin, Clyde Galwyck and I had single speed bicycles with small tires which we used to ride all over the place. In the su~.!!ler we were often down on Ignacio peak digging caves. I could go whereever I wanted except down town. Dad had the notion I would get into trouble if I hung around there. So unless he sent me on an errand or mother sent me on an errand with a note to prove it, downtown Ignacio was off li~its. This order kept me away most, but not all of the time. I can still re~ember the day I ~as playing a ga~e of pool in the pool hall, a definately forbidden place. I heard Dad 1 s voice at the front Just in tiI11e to make a very rapid exit out the back door. Dad and I &ecided I should go to the school of mines. In order to meet the entrance requirements I had ~o enroll at Ft. Lewis School the last two years of high school to take physics and other courses not available in Ignacio. However, none of this worked cut because about the ti~e I ~as to leave for Golden, I got appendicitis. In those days an operation was aserious thing and r2covery took a long ti::ie. By the time I was feeling good again it was too late to go to school. I started doing auto repairs for Bill Liese 1 s Garage. I got $1 .25 per day working from 7:00 A.M. till 8:00 P.M. 3oon after this ~Y Dad 1 s health began to f2il and he turned the bee business over ~o ~e. Also about this tiJ:;1e I began to notice Bessie Briggs. She lived at .Allison but sometimes visited her sister in Ignacio and attended some of our dances." · Bessie Brig.g- 1 s Grandfather Briggs moved from England to Canada ~d then to the 1;,nited States. Her father, .James Briggs, was born at H?zelhurst, }'.ississippi, and lived in Illinois and Kansas before moving to Rocky Ford. James was a canp cook for a ranch. He □arried Martha Ella Miles at Rocky Ford. They moved to Allison, Colorado, and homesteaded the Rainwater Ranch. Bessie's Grandfather Briggs hocesteaded the; place where Krs. Little now lives. Bessie was one of nine children. Her oldest brother, Elmer, and her youngest brother, Ji~ Jr., are bo~h deceased. Ethel lives in Durango, Isabel in Albuquerque, Vali in Dura~o, Lester in California, Ruch in Bayfield andO pal lives at Red Mesa. Wh~n Bessie was five years old, her mother died. The older children _helped James take care of the younger ones. �"Dad was a good gardener ," Bessie remembers. nHe raised all kinds of fr uits and vegetables. We had plenty of meat except in summer whe n there was no way to keep it. I attended school gt Allison 10 years then boarded with the J.R. Ball fa~ily in Durango to fini sh high school. I worked for r::iy beard and r oom, but was treated like a rneober of the family. I was about to enter college at Ft. Lewis when Le e Pennell and I decided to get married. 11 11 Lee and I packed our bags the morning of December 1, 1933t and took off in his 1928 Chevy coupe for Durango. The road was muday and the ruts were so de ep we almost bogged down several times. We were married by the Rev. Schur::iacher at his ho!:le . After the cere □ony, we left for the Grand Canyon . Our route went through Gallup and Holbrook to Flagstaff where it was sno·,ving hard . When we got to the canyon, :~e stayed at Bright Anbel Lodge for $ 2 .50 per night. The El Tovar was S11 • 00 per ni gnt . :'here was a road across the ?Tavajo Reservation _ through Kayenta , but we were warned that the roao.s were ungraveled and sometimes i□passaole and also that gas ~ight be as high as 50 cents per gallon . Since we were accustoced to pay 15 -25 cents, that sounded a,,,fully high. ·:te car::1e back through Flagstaff . 11 "Back in Ignacio we rented an apartnent fro~ Ray 1-alls in what is now the Peaceful Suirit Center. Later we ~oved into Carlson ' s house and finally into Lee's parent's house after they moved back to ~t . Collins. In 191+5 we traded our house in town for !{rs . Payne's place on the hill where we still live. In the old days we got only 4 or 5 cents a pound for honey . Lee used. to have 600-700 hives, ':)ut no·,., r:ai!ltair..s only about 60. H4 was the local Bee inspector for 20 years . Juring ~he ~o•s :ee served two tel'ns on the to-....m board and. in the 50's was on the school board. 11 The Pe~nels have four children. Robert is a teacher in ~as Vegas. A.,_.,_71 lives on a r anch in Oklahoca. i:·no:r;::a s ';Forks at a missile tracki:ig station near Barstow, California and Charle s is a counselor at 3ertnoud High School in northeast Colorado . They have 9 grana children.
