Even though the machine they :were watching was still far down the road, the boys coul_d hear its rhyt.hr:J.ic pop-pop-popping as it approached. A lone figure in -the ~uto sat very straight, holding stiffly to the steering bar. The boys were excited because they were encountering their first automobile. They would have been more excited had they known they were about to see their first auto wreck. The driver, approaching at a fast clip, was unaware of a stretch of eeep sand in the road, The hard front wheels sunk into the sand; the steering bar jerked from the driver 1 s hands; and as the boys stared .in fascination, the auto promptly capsized. Hastings, a town of about 4,000 in southern Michigan ,was a good place to live in 1898. Located mid-way between the cities of Chicago and Detroit, it was an especially good place for a curious teen-age boy to observe the mechanization and scientific revolution occurring in America. The town was surrounded by rolling, forested hill s with rnai;iy clear streams running thI'ough the country-side. A person c ould hardly travel a mile in any direction without finding a pond or lake. George was born there on October 22, 1886, the son of Martha and Willian Hams. William was a carpenter, then started a grocery and bakery and did well with these businesses. 11 We al~ays had plenty to eat, 11 George remembers, 1 ' beca:use many of the farmers who traded in the store di dn 't have any cash and would pay for their supplies with meat or fruit or other garden produce. Our meat house was always _full of hams and turkeys. The Hams bought a summer cabin on Gunn Lake near Hastings. George, his brother William, and their mother spent the summers at the lake. It was a grand life for a boy. The long summer days were occupied with fishing, swimming, boating and playing with friends. On week-ends ~,r. Hams would travel out to the lake in an open buggy with an umbrella top. . As fall approached, the family moved back to town for school enrollment . Mr. Hams bought wood and set the boys to splitting it. 11i-'te mainly used maple, oak and beech for firewood. Even after we installed a coal furnace, mother used wood in t he cook stove. 11 Every fall the Hams gathered walmuts , butternuts and hazelnuts. George liked some fun with his nut gathering . After a freeze he liked to climb carefully into the branches of a nut tree overhanging a path er lane and wait for someone to come along. At the strategic moment he would jump vigorously up and down on the branches and bomb the daylignts out of his victims. As it is today, winter was a marvelous time for kids. 11We would sharpen our skates like razors and race up and down the river or around the ponds near town. · If we wanted to ski, we usually ties barrel staves to our feet; or if we wanted something better, we took elm wood to the engineer at the furnlture factory. He steamed and shaped the wood. Then we tacked old shoes to the boards and had a pretty fair set of skis. Each fall Mr. Hams traded supplies to one of the farmers for ten gallons of wine which he kept in a barrel in the cellar. What boy could resist sampling it? George surely didn 1 t. One day he and Lee Canfield sneaked into the cellar and sampled and sampled and sampled. 11 We got sick, 11 George remembers. George has good memories of school days. · He was an honor student most of the time. He admits to getting into mischief (some of which he • �- ·- ·- j .,. 3 ;;i_ ' II _ ' • won I t tell a bout), but does a dmit to playing ''Penny ot\. a Board with '1 greenhorns who moved into Hastings. To play "Penny oft a Board" George · would bring out a pile of sand on a shingle, push a penny into the pile and s et it on the ground. Severa l youngsters, including the greenhorn lined up a ways from the pile anq on the count of three raced to see who could get the penny. Actually , the innocent-looking sand pile was . more than sand. It was a pile of very fresh cow dung or other manure covered with sand. As you can guess, .the greenhorn was allowed to win and "Wound up with more than h e coul~ handle. · In 1905' GeoI'ge's father sold out i n Michigan and moved to Lake Arthur, New Mexico, south of Rosi·rnll where he bought a hardware and lumber business. Since George had only one year of high scheol left to finish , he was allowed to remain in Hastings. After high School George was apprenticed to a pharmacist in Grand Rapids. He rented a small apartment nearby and began his training . George dated a pretty little girl named Amy Belle Cope who came into the drugstore occasionally. Amy wo±-ked at the Fox Typewriter Co . in GrandRapids. On dates George and attended silent mcvies, burlesque shows and the circus (AI::ty especially liked the side shows) . Vaudevulle s hows were $.35 in the e-yening and ~t.15 in the afternoon . They made frequent visits to ice cream parlors, ra.rely to reataur ants. George and Amy were married in 1910 . In 1911 Vi ola was· borJt. She was their only child. Amy The Hams made occasional trips to visit his parents in New 1-foxico. Cars had become quite common, but good roads were rare . They have vivid memories of trips across the plains . vI'nile crossir,ig Oklahoma on one t rip the Hams came t o a region ,,r hich had been soaked with heav-.1 rain. 'ltJhen t hey got bogged at the bottom of a hil l, Amy agreed to get out and pu sh. Once the car got going, George couldn 1 t stop. Not only was Amy s plattered with mud f r om head to foot , she also had to walk all the way up the hill through deep mud to r each the car. Another time the Hams had completely bogged dm,m in a mud hole and were feel ing hopeless until four young men on motorcycles appeared. The cyclists got off their machines, walked over to the car(one to each fender) picked the car up·with the Hams s till inside, set it on firm ground and left. In 1920 when Viola was about 9, Amy contractei tuberculosis. The doctors recommended that she go to a dry climate like new Hexico for treatment. A year later she was pronounced cured •. If 10 year old Viola h~dn't asked f or an i ce cream cone a s t hey passed through Hagerman , N.H., on t heir ·way back: holile to Grand Rapids) the Hams family might still be in Michigan. George stopped, went in to the drug store for t he ice cream and discovered the store was for sale. He bought it on the spot. Life in Hagerman on the legendary Pecos River was quite different from life in Grand Rapids. The Harns bought a place near the Russel Ranch and became good friends of the Russel family, who proved to be invaluable help when most any problem arose. George_got a few cows to raise. When it came time for one of the calves to be weaned from its mother, Amy had trouble. Mrs. Russel, who weighed about 200 lbs., came over to help. She stepped astride the shoulders of the calf, grasped its head and ears and forc ed its head into the bucket. "If it gets balky any more , just do that, 11 Hrs. Russel advised. The next day Amy decided to try force feeding t he calf. It had not occurred to her ·tha.t a differencl:! in weight of 110 lbs. would matter. Ai-ny, who weighed only 90 lbs . got astride the calf and got the ride of her life. Any had �lf as good a sense of humor about this as about the nud. George O!:Jerated the .drug store in Ha.german- from 1921 till 1946. Though he preferred not to be,he was considered a counter doctor by many of the residents of the area. George and An.y seweo. up more peo:ol~ than they like to remember. none man had such -8. large k..""lif e wound~ we could 2ee his heart beating. 11 As in all parts of the country duriI!g the great depression, many transients ca::ie through Hagernan. 11We never refused anyone a prescription, money or no Boney. One fanily passing through asked for medicine for a siclc baby. Years later we received. a letter from them with money for the prescription.I? Viola moved to Ignacio in the 1940' s. 1'H1en the Hams cane to visit, the green trees and flowing streams brought back memories of 1-!ichiean. They had always cissed the green countryside while living on the dry !)lains. In 19l+6George and .A:my bought, 40 acres north of Ignacio 5 reI11odeled the house and spent many hapryy years here.

Most of them are narrow and steep, running torrents· ot water in the spring thaw, then gradually slackening off and drying up by mid summer. Ona exception 1s Ignacio Canyon. Partly because of a good spring, water runs in it al1 year. In 19o4 Liberato Chavez and his wife1 Frances, traveled up the Piedra looking for a homestead site. When Liberato saw the flow oC water out of Ignacio Canyon, he explored it and found a suitable place tor a ranch operation. The house he built beside the creek was made of logs planted vertically 1n the ground like a stockade. The roof was supported by logs 1 crossed by poles and willows and sealed with mud. The walls were plastered. with mud and the result was a smal1, but warm and suitable cabin. Distinct bands of blue 1 yellow and white clay were exposed in the walls of the canyon. The Chavez family and many ·of their neighbors in the river valley disolved the clay into a thin calcimine paint and used it to tinish the interior walls of their adobe homes. · · Liberato raised grains and hay and herded up to 250 sheep and ?0 goats in the hills around the homestead and up 1n Brushy Basin which drains into the canyon. Frances devoted her time to a large garden which produced most ot the family's needs.· In spite ot all his efforts 'Liberato found it necessary to work out cutting timber, shearing sheep or laboring on the farms in the Piedra Valley for extra income. In the spring of 1911 Liberato alld his brother were working across the river when it began to rain. Spring rains are not unusual 1.n Colorado, but this one wouldn't stop. The rain came in wind-blown torrents. Liberato and his brother stayed under cover tor a day or so and still the rain came. As the rain continued, Liberato grew afraid. He could picture Frances and his childl"en, in the cabin beside Ignacio Creek. The creek was already swollen with the spring thaw. He could imagine it rising higher now. Finally, Libreto could wait no longer. Since there was no chance or fording the river, he rode for the D. & R.G. w. railway bridge and his heart sank when he saw it. The Piedra was a ragingh toaming rush or water. All that remained ot the bridge was the r"\ s still bolted together and swaying in the wind. Though it was foolhardy, he inched across one of the strings of rails and made his way up the canyon. The family was fine. They had packed food and clothing and vere camping on a spot higher up the h111. The house survived, though the creek came close. The rain continued unabated for 11 days. When it stopped, the river had changed course in many places and familiar landmarks had disappeared forever. At the time ot the flood, the Chavezes had three children, Joe Mary and Juan. Juan Ramon Chavez had been born on August 21, 1910. His parents were married at Blanco, then lived tor a while in Rosa before moving to the homestead. One ot Juan's earliest impressions ot mountain lite when he was a child concerns the cycle ot hard times. He recal.ls 1 11 It was always hard to store enough food and save enough'money for the winter. As the weather turned cold you either had enough or you didn't. There wasn't any welfare. The store in Rosa might give you credit. Otherwise you were on your own. 11 A few years after Juan was born a very exciting thing happened in the canyon. The Candelaria..-Fowler Lumber Mill -wa.s built about a mile below the homestead. The company built houses for employees, provided a commisary and put up a school house. School was open during summer so that weather would not interfere so much. Liberato worked at the mill and times were easier until suddenly 1 t closed in 1 91 9. The l ) _ �3. people moved, the school closed. As the years passed, Juan was given more and more responsibility with the flock. "Because of the work we never not to go to school a~er at Stollsteimer Creek till late in the fall. Then we'd have to ~uit about April 20 because the river would get too high to ford." Juan's youngest brother, Dave, was born in 1920. In 1925 when J'uan was 15 his mother died of pneumonia. "It got hard then, 11• Juan says. •It was all m.y .rather and Joe and I could do to take care of the herds and work outside for cash income. There was no more garden." In 1927 Liberato married again. After about two years a. daughter was born to them, and ~hortly afterward Liberato's 2nd wife died also. When this happened, the Chavezes moved out of the canyon to a rented farm on Stollsteimer Creek. Joe lert the farm to work out for wages. Shortly afterward Mr. Chavez left for the same reason. Juan stayed for a while to help his uncle on the ranch. Haying has always been back-breaking work. It certainly was --during Johnny's generation. Early rorms of the machinery now used began to appear on the farms when Juan was a young man vorking on the ranch ~or Mrs. Sallenberger. She had a horse powered taling machine. It was set up by the haysaaclls and required 3 operators, one to throw hay out of the stack, one to feed the machine and one to tie the bales. The 100 lb. bales were taken to the depot and mipped out. Juan worked 2 years for the McDona.lds. He was piad 50¢ per day. That amounted to $182.50 per year. In the winter he sawed green pinon ~er firewood. 11When the green wood i s f rozen hard , i t splits easily." Juan couldn't resist a pay raise when he heard. about jobs paying a dollar a day over 1n the San Luis n ear Del Norte . "I irrigated and helped with haying. When this ended, I got a job as camp tender with t be sheep up west of' the Rio Grande near Creede. I always enjoyed l iving up 1n the high mountains . We made r ish hooks out ot baling wire and caught some big f ish in those creeks . 11 Johnny bad several girlfri ends , but the one he kept remembering vas a girl named Cleo Vallejo, whom he met at his brother, Joe •s 1 wedding in 1929. "She was very pretty and shy. " During the nest severa1 years Johnny worked at several jobs including the Forest Service, sheep-herding and clearing land for f'armers. In 1938 Johnny and Cleo were married. They lived on Stollsteimer Creek tor a while before moving to Pagosa. - Later the Chavezes came toignacio to help .Toe 1n his shoe repair shop. It wasn't long,however, till Juan was back on the farm where he is today. Cleo's parents were Alex and Ma;ry Vallejo. She was born in B1anco H.M. on April 9,_ 1915. ilex was a sheepherder, sheepshearer and farmer all his life. Wllen Cleo was 9 mo. old, her parents came to Ignacio and lived inthis area and Oxford and Durango ,-11 their live~. ·J'uan and Cleo were separated for several years during the 191+-0•s and 19,o•s, but they got back together and still live on the farm NW of Ignacio Juan bought 1n 191'-5. "We got the farm for $400.00 down. We started with one cow and a pickup. Gradually we built up the stoc.k and raised grain. We've tried sheep and cows and back to sheep.'' Juan and Cl.eo have worked hard all their 11ves and as many neighbors will attest, they have also been good fr~ends, ready to belp when help was needed. Juan I.earned to play the violin and quitar when hP- W&f a little boy. Rl.s parents ordered instruments through the mail. At firs~ tµey were a complete mystery to Juan. All he l.earned, he picked up himself and though times have changed and age takes its toll, Juan's love of' music is something no one can take away.

Bois Band of the Chipewas. The band has 1 ived there as long as anyone remi;!mbers,. Edward James Cc was born there in i907. His parents, Joseph Cook and Mary Defoe Cook lived in a log house ina small village near the lake. Edward, Sr. could have maintained a s ilhple life at the lake, but he had different ambitions. The Duluth and Iron Railroad has Br anch ltnes to the lumber camp near the reservation. Edward, Sr. went to work for the rail} oad. By the ti.me Ed, Jr. was old enough to be interested in trains, his father was an engineer. I ''Many tim~s I rode in the cab of the steam engine with my father. logs to the junction of the main line, then back to the lumber camp." He'd take a load of But once back home the Indian ways prevailed. The Chipewas practiced a semi-nomadic life. Each family in the village had a log house which they used in the winter. But in summer they each brought out a teepee and headed for the woods. A choice of many beautiful campsites was available and became the subject of much debating and speculation among the clan. The clan moved several times each summer according to the whim of the leaders or the availability of fruits, nuts, berries, etc. (Lakes, ponds, streams, meadows, and deep woods were the options) Each season of the year the north woods offered their bounty. Fruits and berries in the summer, nuts and wild rice in fall, deer and moose to hunt all year round and maple sugar in the spring. "I can remember my grandmother boiling the maple syrup ina large iron kettle. She made sugar cakes a.nd reguJ.ar sugar- all good. In _the ~Ut[ll[ler __time, i_f someon~ killed _a m_oose, _he would invite the whole band (5-6 fa~ilies) to come share the meat, The whole bunch would move their camp to the site of the kill, butcher the animal and begin a feast with dancing and celebrating. Any meat remaining would be smoked a.nd dried and distributed among the families'.' At six years a£ age little Ed was sent to the B.I.A. school at Pipestone, Minn. Through the years he attended a number of schools in Minnesota and South Dakota. In 1918 the flu epidemic hit eh reservation hard, but since ed's school was in an isolated area, the students escaped the epidemic. When Ed was a young man, he came to Towaoc, Colorado, to visit his sister, Tina Ulibarri. When a job came available, Ed took it and decided to stay. The B.I.A. sent his away to Diesel School so that he could operate electric poser plants on the reservations. HoweYer, the most interesting thing Ed encountered at Towaoc.was not a new job, but a young lady named Eva Silva. "I was a lonely bachelor and Eva was an available young working woman. Before long we decided toget married." We began dating and going to the movies in Cortez. Maria Eva Silva is the daughter of Eliseo Silva, a Santa Clara Indian and Henrietta Johnson Silva, a Southern Ute. (Henrietta's Indian name was Cora.) Eva was born at her parent's home on Red Mesa in 1915. Eliseo was a hard-working, ambitious farmer. He raised wheat, hay, and all the family food -- vegetables, turkeys, chickens, pigs, geese, cattle, etc. San Juan and Plata, Eva 1 s grandparents, lived nearby. Their English names were Samuel an'd Phoebe Johnson. We had a beautiful life t ,here," Eva remembers. "In those days the LaFla ta was a large river (before so much irrigation water was taken from it.) We played in the meadows and under the trees by the river. It was a peaceful and beautiful life. Whenever my dad wanted to visit his family, he hitched one team to the covered wagon and the other to the buggy. We followed the La Plata River to Farmington, then to Blanco where we forded the San Juan, across countr: to Regina, then to Coyote and Abiquiu and on to Santa Clara. The trip required several days. 11 - 1 --. - _.,, . ., •• • �We t0-ok plenty of supplies. I clearly remember the blue ,,mamel kerosene heater Dad used to heat the wagorr if it got too cold at night. The feasts at Santa Clara were wonderful. , •" ''Z.rst there was a Mass, then ,a procession, then Indian dancing and feasting. Visitors -:.1ld go into any house to eat." · In 1918 this idyllic way of life was interrupted. Eva's mother and grandmother beth died in the flu eoidemic. A Mexican couple came to share the work on the farm and to take care of the children. When they left, Kitty Cloud came to help take care of the children. In 1920 Eliseo died of appendicitis. Eva and her two brothers ·w ere sent to the boarding school at Towaoc. In the summers they came back to Breen to stay with their uncle, Henry Johnson, on the farm. When Eva was 14, she moved t ~ La Boca to live with her cousin Margaret Wright. Soon afterward she was sent to the vocational school at Albuquerque. Curtis Cutthai~, Nettie Unca Sam and Nettie Burch Frost were all there. After she finished school atAlbuquerque, Eva returned to Towaoc and was working in the hospital when she met Ed. Ed and Eva were married in 1936. Ed's career with the Indian service took him to reany locations during the next 32 years. Shiprock, Toadelena, Window Rock .and finally back to Shiprock. Eva recalls, "I enjoyed living among the Navajo. I know there was an enmity between the Utes and the Navajos a long time ago, but I liked those people. " Ed· retired in 1968 and bought a house in Farmington; then inl973 the Cooks moved to Ignacio. They have four children: Marvin, who lives in San Jose, Patricia who lives in Gallup, And Clifford and Jeannie who live at home. Eva se.rves as chairperson of the Board of the Southern Ute Public Housin,g Authority. At least they do the~ i thj_ngs when they are not tTaveling, which they do often. Marvi.n has sent Ed and Eva rlane :ckets to come spend Christmas with him and his family in California. We wish them a Herry . ,ristmas and long and happy lives.

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.

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 .~ \;;,, ~\.<:..

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.

I have four brothers and two sisters. That does not count several others who died before they were gro;m. ·when I was 7 years old I started to school at Cha.r:-,a. Durlng the school tE;rm I stayed with my mother's parents, Trinidad and Juanita. Sanchez, whose farm was close to school. Every !::'.;.orning the sc_hool janitor fired up the pot-belly stoves in each of the three rooms. At the end of the day each teacp.er .had to sweep the classroom. Mr. David G~ul was my first teacher~ All of us were Spanish speakers. They tried to teach us English, but it didn 1 t work too -:.iell. Every text book was in English._ We would sound out the words and Hr. Gaul would translate; It was slow work and not too interesting. But we enjoyed baseball ganes and ether activities at noon and during recess. Also, we helped pass the ti~e of day with mischievous pranks during the school day. 11 11 After seventh grade I stayed home to help may father with the farm work. I did this until I was 25 years old. If I had any extra time, I worked for wages on other farms. When I 'Has about 16 years old, ffiY father hired Albino Baca and his facily to herd,sheep, Little did I know I v.·ould .some d.ay marry his daughter, Earia Inez, who at that time was only a 7 year old girl. I never saw Maria again until 9 years later two c.ays before our wed.ding. 11 11 When I was 25 years old, rr!Y parents decided. it was tj_ce for me to get ~arried. They thought over the possibilities and remembered .Albino Baca 1 s daughter must be about old enough to □arry. The custom of parents arranging their children's n:.arriages was a very old. and traditional way, bu-c I had no objections. A little after Christt:e.s my mother and father hitched up their buggy to pay Albino Baca a visit. He lived on a farm near Red Wing, Colorado, a two day journey across the mountain,3 t.hxough La Veta ?ass. The ,.~ed.d.ing was arranged. I went to San Luis to buy a ~ed1ing dress, shoes and other clothing as a gift to -r:,y bride. ·1.'his was also an old tradition for the groon to present the bride with a trunk full of beautiful clothes just before the wedding. Cn the 16th of January, 1920, r2y parents, ny grandparents an aunt and an uncle and I loac.ed up two buggies and began the trip tn Red Wing. About half way over the ~ountain was an abandoned sa~ mill -where we ca~ped for the_ night. The next day , ',,;hen we arrived at rte a. °\,'ling, the facilies were introduced and my ur..cle took his buggy on to the ho~e fo a friend several miles away-to stay the night. I went to our buggy to bring the trunk to lfaria, but found it was missing. !·:y dad headed back to the saw mill, thinking we had left it there. After he left, my uncle retu~ned because he had found the trunk in his buggy. I got on a horse to catch rny father. By the time I overtook him and returned to Red Wing it ..,,as midnight. 11 11 I was very pleased with rr.y parent's choice. Maria was very pretty and was well trained. Even though she was young, she cou+d cook and sew and everything else a i,life needs to do. We were married in church on January 20, 1920. We took her two little brothers who were ages 3 and 7 home to raise.
