I •r I �- PAULINE RODRIQUEZ When Pauline Ruth DeHerrera was born at Antonito, Colorado , on Sept. 15, 1907, Spanis h people had been living in the Rio Grande and San Luis Valleys f or a very long time. The dates in the graveya r ds , if nothing else, will tes tif y t o that. The old Conej os communi ties of Antonito, Las Mesitas , Mannasa and Espinoza s till mainta i n a Spanish flavor. The Las Mesit as Church with its two steeples i s a s triking landmark. Beside it is the church yard were generations of Pauline 1 s ancestors are buried. Pauline's parents, Alfred and , Adala Rodriquez, owned a home and small acreage near Antonito, but in the sumr:ier the whole family headed f or the mountains. Alfr ed was a cowboy. In May many farmers turned their cattle over to him to t ake into the high sum:1ier range near Cumbr es . "Dad would drive the cattle along , some times as many as 500, and Mother and all of us children foll owed in t he buggy. We had a·cabin overlooking a big meadow. It was such a carefr ee life. We picked strawberries by the· gallons. They were s mall, but , oh, s o s weet. Other days Mother sent us for gooseberries. Once in t he gooseberry patch my brother Chris and I got a· terrible fright. We were picking when suddenly we came to a place under some overhanging branches where the grass and flowers were flattened like a nest. Some of the stems were still springing up. It was so plain we had just roused some animal (our imagination told us it was a bear). We screamed and threw our buckets into the air and ran. Occasionally , Dad took off a little t :Lme for fishing. o~ar favo rite place was La Laguna Azul , a beautiful mountain lake wlth gold water lilies along one side . We caught a lot of .fish there. Always we wanted to see• a deer, but we never saw one. I guess those mountains were hunted out in those days . About once a month we went down to Antonito to stock up on groceries . 1ie would leave on Saturday and come back on Monday. Dad had two beautiful mares just for our buggy trips. We had such a relaxed and carefree life until the fall when the cattle were branded and moved down to the farms. 11 Pauline remembers one time that was definately not carefree. In the Spring of 1911 there was a terrible flood all across Southern Colorado. Alfred was already in the mountains with the cattle. When Adala and 0 the children awoke that morning the fields around them were a lake. There was water in every direction. My grandmother Lujan was there with us and we decided it might be higher at her place in Las Mesi tas, so mot her went out and hitched up the mares. We went through deep water, but the r eal t r ouhle came when we got to the Las Mes itas Ditch (which was as large as t he All i son Ditch). The bridge was washed away and the men on t he other side said,'Don't cone across. The mares will drown and so will you! • My ~other was very brave. She de cided it was better to t r y than to be trapped on the low side. The mares wen t clea r under . Mother j u mped from the buggy and lifted the head of one of t he mares out of the water. Finally one of the men jumped in to help and the mar es began to swim. When we got to the other shore, we were all soaked t o the bone and crying. There was water around Grandmother Lu j an' s house too, but it didn't get any deeper. In a couple of days it went down . All our chickens were gone and-everybody's crops were ruined." Idyllic and pl easant as a Rocky Mountain summer can be, winter is another thing, especially in the San Luis Valley. Then the valley becomes a col d and windy place with vast, drafty blizzards howling dorm its l ength. Every evening bef ore bed Pauline and Chris had to .a..-- ..._.., __ _ _ - -••---- •~•-. ~ __. �u~el enouoh notatoes for the n ext d~y and place them in water to keep them :-,bite . "Every l!lorning the ho1..1Se was cold. Dad got up first _to light the coal oil lamp and to 'build a fire in the kitchen. Then I had to get up to slice and start f r ying the potatoes. Then mother got up and. illade biscuits, white gravy, fried eggs and always oatmeal with lots of .fresh milk and butter . 11 Pauline and all the children needed a good breakfast,since ·they walked 11 three miles to school at Esuinoza. Sometimes it was an ordeal. When the weather got real bad, m:y father wrapped our feet in gunny sacks and tied them to our ankles with wire. At school our teacher would unwrau the sacks, hang then to dry by the fire, then help us put them back on when it was time to leave. That was all we could do,because, of course, none of us had over.shoes. 11 Pauline feels that one mistake many parents made at that tj_me was to keen their children out of school too mu6h. 11 Some of the boys in the 5th-and 6th grades were great big things, old enough to be ·in high scho9l today and when they would get restless and bad, I can remember the teachers sending them to the river to bring their own willows to be whipped. 11 Alfred DeHerrera liked politics. In Pauline 1 s words, 11 he was always 'taken' by politics. 11 About 1924 Alfred decided to run for sheriff of Conejos County. If there wa.s any big money around to buy the politicians into office, ·Alfred didn't get any of it. He had to use his o-wn. When he lost the election, the family was nearly broke. To help recover the losses Alfred moved the family to Millikin which was about half-way between D-enver and li't. Collins where he could get farmwork. 11 We· didn't stay. there very long. It was strange country to us. Dad worked lm!g enough to buy a car and then we headed back for the valley. We .stopped to visit someone in Salida9 While we were there. Dad found a job in a creosote plant~ so we stayed and bought a home there. I was about 16 or 17 by then. 11 Soon afterward Pauline met Vic Rodriquez. 11 Vic was one of' 12. His mother was dead. Hy mama tried to help those kids~ She sewed and mended their clothes and asked them in for cookies and did rr:any oth0r things which only a mama can do. 11 Vic was working on the tram line to Shirley when he turned sweet on Pauline. 11 He began signing his checks and just handing them to me. Mama said I better not spend any of that because if Vic and I broke up, ther0 could be trouble over the money. So I ~ut it all in the bank. 1' Vic and Pauline were married in 1928. Pauline handed Vic $900.00, every penny of what he had given her. With the $900.00 Vic set up a saw mill at trujillo southwest of Pagosa. Whatever lumber wasn't sold locally was trucked to Jaunita and shipped on the train tn other ~~rket~. Later Vic moved his mill to Blanco Basin and finally to Red Creek north of Bayfield. · When the government started building Vallecito Dam in 1937, Pauline got a new job. She started doing laun~ry for all the crews working on the dam. 11 I had a gasoline _powered Maytag tha.t ran fron 7 :00 A.H. till 7:00 P.H. every day. There were clothes lines stretched fro111~ tree to tree. I guess we. were the first mountain l aundramat. I made about ~10.00 per day. Sometimes my neighbor Mrs. Millsap would help and I gave her half of what I made. Pauline has good memories of Red Creek since most of - the kids were raised there. 11 They were good kids. We never had trouble with any of them. I guess being raised 1n the mountains, they would have to be good kids. We always had plenty to do, both work and fun. Every Saturday there was a dance. Someone brought a guitar and someone a violin and did we dance! But no drinking. It seems like it snowed more then, ln:J_t_ :L:t didn' t seem so hard on people then. We always had fun in the - �winter . If we needed food, we ' d hitch up a team to the sled and go to town . All those years seem so car efree . l1e never had any worries . I don 't think I ever had any worries until Vic died . We had just bought this house and lived here two months when he died." Pauline has seven children . All of them are married. Irene lives in Bay.field; Ernest in Bellingham, Washingt on; Helvin in I gnacio ; Jeanie in Farmington; Helen in Los Angelos; Della Rae in Bloor.'.l.field; and l-fary Ann in Colorado Springs . Pauline also has 30 grandchildren and l.J. greatgr andchildren . A lot of years have passed, but Pauline well remembers the ustar' 1 automobile Vic bought to bring her to Trujillo . She remembers t he frightful, narrow 1--oad over Wolf Creek Pass and h01•1 rrruch she really didn't want tq leave Salida . 11 I always missed Salida . I liked it there and didn't want to leave. And I have always mi_s sed the Italians. They were good neighbors, nice people . All of the years we ' ve spent on this side of the divide I've been hapyy, but I never felt r eally at home. I always had in the back of r:iy r:1ind a wish to go back over there, but the last few years I feel different. Ignaci o is a nice town with a lot of nice peop_le. I think I belong here . 11 Shelby Smith June 27 Senior Soci al & Clinic Welcome to our June Social DATE WHERE : WHEN HOW : (see below) June 27 , 1975 Community Center 12 :OO noon Pot Luck Allison-Arbol es - Please bring vegetables and salads Town of Ignacio - Please bring ~ain dishes Rural areas North ru1d West of I gnacio and near Ignacio Please bring desserts. Free Clinic Offered at June Social High blood pressure ~nd diabetes are t wo conditions which can cause a lot of trouble if undetected. Most of us do not go to our doctors for checkups as often as we should . Partly because we don't think of it, partly because it seems an unnecessary expense . To save you the expense of a trip to the doctor Lorraine Duran PHS Nurse and Betty Fedrizzi nurse with San Juan Bas in Health are of'fering a fr.f& clinic to all senior citizens who attend our June Social. Similar tests at the doctors office would probably cost {t10 . 00 - $15'. O0. Test 1~ Bring a urine sa~ple taken shortly before coming to the s ocial. The nurses will t est this for any tendency for diabetes. Test #2 Sometime during or after the social you will be given a blood pres·sure test. Participation in the tests is entirely voluntary~ of course; however, for peace of mind we urge you to be tested. �.. A Creed for Positive Living How to live a full and hap:;Jy life'? Louis Stevenson's: 1) Make up your mind to be happy. . . rb ~ Here's one man I s formula-Robert Learn to find pleasure in simple things. 2) Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with the gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears. 3) Don't take yourself too seriously. Don 1 t think that somehow you should be protected from misfortunes that befall others. 4) You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you. 5) Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself. 6) Do the things that you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt. 7 ) Don't borrow trouble . Imaginary things are harder to bear than the actual ones. ' 8) Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities, grudges. Avoid Deople who nake you unhap~y. 9J Have ~any interests. If you can't travel, read about new places. 10) Don't hold post- ~ortems. Don't spend your life brooding over sorrows and mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things. 11) Do what you can for those less fortunate that yourself. 12) Keep busy at something.

"We lived in a little adobe house still standing on the place next to Jack Frost's farm. I.don 1 t remember my mother. She died when I was very young, so my grandparents largely raised me. My grandfather, Robert Burch had all kinds of animals, turkeys, sheep, cattle and chickens. The apple trees he planted are still there, but the strawberry pat-ch has died out. 11 Essie started school at the Allen Day School, then went to the Bayfield school for grades 4-7. She finished high school at the Indian School in Albuquerque. "The Albuquerque School was mostly a vocational school to learn farming, home economics, etc. One thing I liked was the military training. We wore uniforms and every morning we had drills. Then on Sundays a lot of people from town came out to watch our dress parades. 11 Essie was one of six students chosen to be sent to Pennsylvania for special nurses training, but about the time she was ready to go her grandfather needed her help at home. So she never got to go. Essie had, of course, ridden horses all her life •. So no one thought 1 t wa.s particularly unus.ual .for her uncle to ask her help to break and . train his horses. Essie was doing just that when she met her future husband. Bonnie Kent was hired to help break the horses, also. The two of them took an immediate liking for one another and were married in 1937. ) . Bonnie Kent was born near Ignacio in 1918. His parents were Graves Stone Kent and Ada Rabbit Kent. They had a home near the Oxford Tract. When Bonnie was too small to remember much,the house was struck by lightn- · ing and everything was lost. Graves continued raising sheep and cattle on the open range until he got a land allottment east of Ignacio where Ada still lives. There were a rew automobiles around when Bonnie was a child but most people still used horses and wagons or buggies. ''The best I can remember, 11 Bonnie says, "a new buggy cost $300-$400. Real nice one cost about $500. There were shops to service and repair buggies just like there are auto repair shops today. You could buy new parts or the blacksmiths could rebui1d the rims and spgkes and other parts that wore out. 11 Work on the rarms was hard 1n those days, but bonnie and Essie both remember that life with good feeling. 11 In the haying time we loaded the cut bay on slips (sled-like platforms pulled by a team) and hauled it to the barn. If it was a grain field, we hired a man with a binder to cut and bind the grain into shocks. Then someone brought a thrashing machine to the field. We threw the shocks into the machine and it separated the gran from the straw. The men held cloth sacks under the spout to catch the grain. Others stood by to sew the sacks closed. Life was better on the farm then. It was hard work,but we enjoyed it. Everybody kept busy and helped one another. ' Right after they were married, Bonnie and Essie stayed with Bonnie's parents for a while. Bonnie worked at irrigating in the summer. He was a line rider over in the Piedra country and then worked on the farm at the Ignacio Indian School. About 1946 the Kents got a farm east of Ignacio where they built the home in which they still live. Bonnie was > �-, the i'ribal Activities Board which was responsible for planning a..i.d organ- izing rodeos. The old rodeo grounds were next to the Ute Park where the ball park is now. This involvement with the rodeo got Bonnie interested in raising stock again, not for th meat market, but for rodeo stock. Before long he had quite a few head of bucking horses and some Brahma bulls. "We really enjoyed the rodeo business. We rented the animals to rodeos around the 4-corners area, Farmington, Cortez, Pagosa, Dulce, Durar,go and Ignacio. Cnce in a while a dealer would take a few of our a..>1imals clear to Texas or Oklahoma for the rodeo finals. Most people think rodeo stock are really mean, but they're not. On their home pasture most of them are as gentle as pets, It's only in the ring they turn into a different animal." The Kents kept their rodeo stock until Richard, their oldest child moved away from Ignacio. They hav~ four children. Richard now lives in Oregon. Eunice died at the age of 17. Phoebe still lives at Ignacio. Their 4th child, Beulah was chosen to be Miss Southern Ute, the Four-Corner's Indian Princess and was a runner-up to Miss Indian America at Sheridan, Wyoming. Beulah represented Miss Indian America at many events in this country and once in Europe. Bonnie and Essie have gone to the Bear Dances and the Sun Dances for many years. "It's still done about the same as always, but in the old days they were a little stricter. No food or drink near the ceremony and no intoxicated people allowed. It was more religious and less social. We liked the old way a little better." Shelby Smith Welcome to our· June 25 Social!

Si nce there were no railroads into Texas in the 1870 1 'S and: early 1880's, t he only way the great herds of Texas could reach the markets in the east was by means of the class ic cattle drives 600-800 ·:niles north to the railheads in Kansas.

It was a rough building with home made benches and boards for writing, but we had a good teacher. 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. It was one of the few entertainments available to frontier people. 11 After ?th grade students had to pay tuition of $2.00 per month to attend high school.

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.

Patrick E.F . Patrick 's father, Washington E. Patrick, was born at Morroco , I ndiana, near Ft . Wayne in 185'7. 'tvben 11Wash 11 , as he wa s known , moved to southwest Colorado wi t h his parents and his brothers in 1879 , they entered an unspoiled wilderness. The family settled on Vallecito Cr eek above the present reservoir site where Witt's End Ranch is l ocated. Hash ' s Brother , William, scon moved on to Ashland, Or egon . Mari an went to Pagosa, where he managed the hotel and bathhouse at the springs . Later he reanaged the Keeley Institut~ in Denv er. Wash, Lee and 1·:.il ton built a fish hatchery on Vallecito Creek. The fish were sold to the hotel in Pagosa and to restaurants in Durango. Wash got acquainted wit h John(Jack) Parsons , who was a clerk in Charles Newman's Drug Store in Dur ango. Later J ohn bought the drug store and operated it for many years . John and Wash teamed up to acquire Electra Lake, where they built a fish hatchery. This successful operation lasted until Wester n Colorado Power Co . was able to condemn the land around the lake to build a power pl ant . Whil e operating t he hatchery at Electra, Wash met John's sister- in- law, Rose Allen . They were marri ed in Dur ango i n 1891 . After losing Electra , Wash built a hatchery above Trimble Springs . Ros e and Wash had three children , Hazel, Emer ald Fl int and Har ol d Allen. Emerald was born in 1902 and was named for the two beautiful lakes above Vallecito Reservoir which Wash liked so much. The merchants in Durango were well aware of the success of Wash's hatcheries. They dectded a hatchery in Durango would be an asset to the town, so they asked Wash to collect money from various businesses to buy land on the river and to build a hatchery , which they hoped the state would later take over. Wash became so well known as a hatchery expert, he was hired as State Superintendent cf Hatcheries ,,ri th an office in the s tate capital building . His family lived i n -Denver for nine years while he supervised the building and operation of the first state hatcheries all over Colorado. When the Patricks came back to Durango, Wash worked as a govern ment trapper for several years, then trapped for himself until he moved on to California. E. F . 1 s mother, Rose, and-her parents, Zachariah and Harriet •Allen, came to Colorado i n a covered wagon drawn by oxen. The wagon train in which they traveled survived several Indian attacks 1 during which Rose and the other girls loaded rifles for the men as rast as they could. The Allens lived in Denver 2 years before going to Pueblo. InPueblo Zachariah built the first shingled house in town and constructed the old ~ourt house and one of the early public schools. Mr. Allen ran for public office and was elected Sherrif. The family moved on to Del !forte in 1874 where Mr. Allen was elec ted city marshall . In 1875 he was accidentally shot and killed by his deput y , Jack Lawis, who had been assigned to guard a group of hor se theives. Hearing that f riends of t he theives might attempt a jail break, All en gave Lewis a heavi ly l oaded shotgun and tol d him to shoot the firs t man who appeared in t he door of the jail . After attending a dance, Marshall Allen went to the jail , called to Lewis, who apparently failed to hear him, stepped inside and was shot. He liv~d only a few days. Several years later Harriet A;Llen married Cyrus Newcomb, a justice of t he Peace at Del Nor te . Later they moved on to Durango where Rose Allen met Wash. In 1923 when Wash was 66 years old, he became very ill with uremic pois oning. Doctors in Durango gave his only a short time to live. The family immediately took him to a doctor in California who got the �3 illness under control. Wash was active during the next 15 years. He and E~erald built and supervised a hatchery in Mill Creek Canyon east of Redlands for a senator who lived in San Bernardino. Pat had been writing to a. young lady who was teaching school near Ignacio, Colorado. He and Grace Anderson had known one another since they irnre both children and had managed to stay in touch through the yeal"s4 Pat and Grace were married in Durango on September 15, 1927. They immediately headed for California where they settled to help Pat's father operate the hatchery. Grace 1 s father, Wilburn Anderson was born in Mt. Airy, Georgia. He ran away from home when he was 15 to join the army during the SpanishAmerican War • .After spending a period of time in the Phillipines, he was transferred to Ft4 Apache, Arizona with the troop which was assigned to capture Geronimo . \"bile in Arizona Wilburn met a young lady named Eva Bryan, who lived at Pi netop , 30-40 miles north of the Fort. After Eva and Wilburn we re married, he left the army and went to work for the r~ilroad. He was a part of the crew which built the line to the Grand Canyon and constructed the hotel in Canyon Village. Eva's father had a store at Pinetop, later moved it to Kirtland, N.M. and then opened a store at the Pine Riv-er Indian Agency before Ignacio existed as a town. Fintlly, he moved his store down by the Ignacio Depot. Wilburn and Eva Anderson had four children: George, who was born at Winslow, Arizona; Grace Evelyn, who was born in Durango; Dorothy, born in Salt Lake City; and Don, who was bcrn in Ignacio. 11 W e lived for many years on Bro'Wlling street in the Red house now 11 owned by Jesus Martinez , 11 Grace says. We moved to Ignacio when I was in 3rd grade. I remember attending school in the rock school house located near the present grade school. I got to attend the Indian school for 3t.'.:t ,HHi 9tli g2'f..des. 'I'he San Ignacio Fiesta was even mere fun in those days than it is now. One reason was the efforts of a color·ful citizen named Fabian Martinez. Fabian was fairly wealthy. He owned a bar in the south e!ld of tmm and generally was a successful busi~es sman and a benefactor of his people. Every year he was a chief promoter of the. Fiesta. One event I'll never forget was the fat man 1 s race. Without fail Fabian, who himself was short a nd very large, would assemble 8-10 wellprop9rtioned men at one.end of ma~n street. As you can imagine the ¥,hole . town had a delightful time laughing, cheering and teasing the participants as they huffed and puffed their way to the finish line.I! Grace attended the last three year of high school in Denver in order to receive a diploma from an accred.i ted school. While there she boarded ·with Nell Marker. After High School Grace went to college at Gunnison. She taught at the Harvey School until she and E.F. Patrick were married and moved to California. The Patricks survived the depression operating the hatchery near Redlands4 Wash Patrick died in 1936. Grace and Pat planned to continue raising fish, but nature interr-upted the work in 1937. An enormous rain caused a flash flood which destroyed much of the hatchery. For several weeks it was difficult to get supplies, since the bridges were out. When World War II started, Pat went to work for the shipyards at Los Angelos, then supervised a steam plant at Norton Air Force Base near San Bernardino. In 1949 the Patricks returned to Colorado. Pat built a fish hatchery for a sports club at Electra Lake, then spent the first winter in a cabin near Electra snowed in most of the time. When George Anderson became ill, Pat and Grace ran the bulk plant for him until he could work again. Pat continued working there until he retired. In the early 50 1 s Grace started filling in for Nell Marker at the Post Office and soon worked into a full time job. Shen she retired, she had sompleted 23 years of Postal Service. �The Patricks have two daughters, Patricia Trease, who lives in Ignacio and Donna Becker of Tucson. They have four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. The Patricks have lived in other places and do quite a bit of traveling each year, but they are glad to come back to Ignacio each time. They know what many other people know. Ignacio is a special place.

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.

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

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

VIDA RITTER ~ Mary La Vida Wayt, daughter of Louis and Margaret Wayt was born October 29, 1891, in Indian Territory(now Oklahoma) four miles from Maysville, Arkansas. Folks in the .a rea . referred to it · as "Lapland". meaning the reg ion where Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri have a common border. Vida has only slight memories of those early years. Her family left Indian Territ ory and moved to Texas for a while and then ba.c k to Indian Territory. One thing she does remember is crossing the Red River. Crossing the prairie rivers was an experience to be reme~bered, especially if it were the big ones. There were fe~, if any, bridges anywhere in the Indian Territory and none across the big rivers. The Red River in many places is a mile wide. The amount of water depends on the season of the year~ Ferries were not possible since even in flood season the water is deep only in a few channels. Most of the year the river- consists mainly of sand bars, treacherous mud bogs, quicksand and log-stre\'m shallows.1 Getting across was mainly a matter of slogging through the · mud flats, avoiding the quicksand and hoping the wagon· would float. Vida remembers a . fri ghtful crossing. Her family made it across all right, : but not everyone was so lucky. When the Wayt•s moved back to Oklahoma, they settled on a farm just across the border from Chetopa, Kansas .. Most of their neighbors in the area were Cherokee Indians. It may seem unusual to gather nuts to go fishing, but that's what they and their neighbors did. Buckeyes, small nuts growing profusely in the area, have a chemical which stuns fish, The men would p ound the nuts into a meal, scatter the meal on a pool in the "crick" and almost immediately the fish in the pool would float belly-up to the suface. Vida ;was very frightened when the men jumped into the water . whooping and hollering, but her mother explained what was happening, "and then," she recalls, "we had a real fish fry." There is a section of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa kno.wn to weathermen as 'cyclone alley•. This region has some of the most frequent violent weather on the continent. Nearly everyone today, as well as then, has a cellar for refuge during tornado weat her. V~da recalls the old dugout cellar her father built and recalls she was more frightened of the snakes and spiders · anct creepy things she imagined in the cellar t.han of the tornados. However, her father knew what he was doing. One day when the family scurried to the cellar a tornado twisted their house on its foundation, requiring her father to prop up one wall with log-sand poles. The Wayts raised corn, black-eye peas and sugar cane. At an early age Vida was taught to milk and was assigned the job of washing the pails and the. separator. When Vida was 12, her father sold the farm and moved to Pueblo to . work in the steel mi.1 1. Shortly after arriving in Colorado Vida saw a sigh~ she could harly believe. She said,"Oh, mother look at that wagon going without any horses." The year was 1904 and that was Vida's first encounter with a mot.orized vehicle. After a year Louis moved his family to a: .farm near La Jara in the San Luis Valley . where they stayed for ~hree years. "We raised potatoes and field peas and did all rig ht, but it was too cold and windy there- to suit us." Vida was sixteen when the Wayts moved to the Pine River Valley and settled in this region for good. ~he fam~ly took the train to.Ignacio and rode in the mail wagon to Bayfield. We always traveled light. Dad sold everything but our personal belongings whenever we moved. It was too difficult and expensive to move furniture and implements. Everywhere we went we had to start all over again. · I I I l ~ • �3) iouis got a job as a logger in the woods north of ~ayfield for a When the 'town of Ignacio·· was organized , Louis v1as hired on the survey team. which . named the streets and laid them out. Later Louis constructed the · building which· is now the north section of the SUARC Lodge and Mrs. Wayt operated it as a hotel. Vida attended the OC~rrison School. She remembers well the day at school when whe looked out of the window to see a tall · young man riding a horse along the r oad. Vida had no idea this ' yo ung man would one day become her husband. At the age of eighteen Vida started dating Paui Ritter . "Paul and I liked to dance. All of the young people in the area would pile into a wagon·· or onto a sled. if it was . winter and go to Spring Creek or Bayfi eld or wherever there was a dance . . On Sunday there were horse races up Goddard Ave. in Ignacio and ball games and,finally, someone started a movie theater (silent pictures, of course). · . . Vida and Paul were married in Durango in t he home of Paul 's parents on Aptil 10, 1911. "After the wedding , we drove l;>ack to the ranch in our buggy. Since the sprng and s ummer work was just getting started, we put off o:ur honeymoon until the fall." After the . crops \vere in that fall Paul and Vida went to Denver. Paul had worked as a cartoonist for · the Denver Post and had many fri ~nds there • . The train . ride to Denv~r was an experience in itself·. Senator '\'lest obtained ticket passes for Paul. The. train steamed to Telluride, where they stayed overnight and then on to Denver the next day through Mont-rose , Gunnison, Salida , Canon Ci ty , Pueblo, and Colorado Springs. Vida en joyed the big city. Every evening the Ritters were guests of Paul's friends £or a nic e dirmer and a movie or concert or stage play. Paul never let Vlda forget that she went to sleep during the stage production of Ben Hur. Vida explains, "We had ;been out late every evening that week and I was tired." · The Ritters lived on the ranch for 33 years. They raised hay and gr~ins and animals of all kinds. Paul and Vida never had any childre~. but for a number of years they kept thr~e brothers, Ray and Ralph and Robert Dickey. Ray now lives in Alaska, Robert lives west of Ignacio . Ralph was killed in a construction accident in California after ·,,rw· -II. The Ritte~once owned a spirited trotting horse named Queenie: Vida . dearly loved to hitch her up and drive to town. One reason she needed to go to Ignacio regularly was t ·o ship cream on the train to Durango. She recalls one day that the time of day 6 ot away from her. A8 she left the houseshe noticed she had 12 minutes to cover the t~ee miles to the depot. Clipping down Goddard Ave, Vida could hear the train approaching. She whipped across the tracks ju.s t ahead o:f the train and · got aJl angry whistle from the engineer. · · Paul acquired one of the first automobiles in Ignacio, For a long time he wouldn't allow Vida .to drive. but she wouldn't stand for that forever. Vida practiced driving the car when Paul was away. One day when they left the house for town, Vida jumped under the wheel. and said, "I'm driving today." Paul was leery·and said, "Just to the gate, But Vida kept going. Paul said. "OK, but just to the main road." But again Vida just kept going. Vida states, "Paul had his hand on the door handle, ready to jump out the whole way, but I made it just fine." In addition to his farming, Paul . operated a business in Igna cio for many years. The Ri'tters inherited an interest in a cabin at Electra Lake and enjoyed many fun weekends th~~e with friends. . ) Paul died in 196J. · Vida has been alone for 12 years, but not really ', _, alone. She has many friends and receives a lot of attention from them. There are several r easons for this. ·· First and -probably the most imnortant is that Vida takes an interest in other people. Endless reci tat..i.,:,n of ::li.fe I s aches and pains are not the subject of. her conversation . . Vida year and then moved to a ranch J-4• miles north of Ignacio. 0 'I �keeps herself actiye, entertaining friends and going out whenever possible. Undoubtedly, she will continue to face life with the same courage, sense • of humor and good spirit that she always has shown.

The town of I gnacio celebrated "San Ignacio Golden Days" July 26 & 1 27, ~1963 in observance of' 50 years since the incorporation of' the Town in 1913. . Mrs. Benedita Casias wife of Chrestino Casias, was chosen as the reigning mot her she had lived i n I~acio since 1909 coming here with her parents when she was one year old. The other two honorees during Golden Days were Mrs . Vida Ritter, a resident since 1906 and Mrs. Mary Velasquez, a resident since 1908 . All three ladies had lived in Ignacio continuously since moving here. Townspeople, businesshouses and organizations all joined in making it a celebration to be long remembered. Parade chairman Ben Cordova reported 16 floats were signed up for the parade and more entries were expected. Sunbonnets had been selling briskly all week and the men were busy growing first class beards. Very rare golden railroad spikes were to be offered for sale and articles of fift y years ago were being displayed in store windows •. Milford Shiel ds, Colorado poet, wrote a special fiftieth Anniversary poem and early day settlers recalled numerous events of the community for publication in The I gnaci o Chiefrain. The JuJ.y 26 issue of the Chieftain was the final edition to be published by Fay and Charlotte Jones as new publisher Dick Carmack, longtime Bayfield resi'dent, had purchased the newspaper. It was recalled by Chrestino Casias that Roy Hall owned the first car in Ignacio around 1905. Most people then drove in with a team and wagon or rode horse back. As it took most of the day to go to Durango they usually stayed overnight and returned home the next day. Around 1910 L.M. Wayt, father of Mrs. Ritter and Jackson Payne, Glen Payne's father, laid out the streets or Ignacio with a team of mules and a plow. Following the 1913 incorporation of the town Mr. Wayt took the papers of incorporation into Durango to have them filed at the Courthouse. He then served as the first Justice of Peace and the rest of his life was known as Judge Wayt. This 1976 year covers a lot 0£ history for the Town and the Southern Ute Tribe.

The American Bison, which most of us call the buffal·o , once grazed ·=--. the great plains in herds which numbered in the millions. They also J roamed the Rockies in fair numbers, but this was often a smaller variety called the Wood Buffalo. A couple of months ago the Senior Center asked Chris Baker to find some buffalo meat for our Bi-Centennial Social. Chris indicated this might be a more difficult task now than 100 years ago. However 1 he agreed to try. Thus began the great Baker - Del Duca Buffalo Hunt which ended in Denver. Ed Del Duca, Tribal land use planner! located a supplier there who can ship the meat by air just before our Apr 1 1, social. Thank you, Ed-& Chris. May all your hunts be successful.

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.

Genevieve Pena ~as born January 23, 1913, at Pagosa Junetioc, Colo. rado,one of the ch.11.drec of Juan Pena and ~.ary Baker Pena. ~.ary ~a~ a Ute and vas considered a highly educated person in her day since she had fi.!'.isncd the 12tn grade at Haskell Institute 1n Kansas. "}(..y grandparents, 11 Genevieve says, 11 knev they had a gem of a person 1n 'flIY ~other. They loved and valued her highly, My father, who ~as a member of the San Juan Pueblo near Espanola, N.M., ca.r::e into this country herding sheep • .._,nen Dad vanted to .marry Hother,her parents and grandparents discussed it a long time, finally deciding Juan was ·ind~strious and good tor the fa.!lll.y. Dad offered to pay for Mother, but ·appare~tl7, he had nothil:g •hich they considered valuable enough as a dovry. After :cuch thought ~he cider Eakers set this condition. If Dad vould w·o:-k for the fa:=..ily 2 yea.rs vi~hout pay, he could :c:ia.rry Mother. He agreed to this and was never sorry. 11 "When I was born, 11 Genevieve says, "the area around Pagosa Junction was not al=ost e~pty as it is today. The river valley and all the canyons leading up onto the ~esas were fuli of people. You should have seen the people pour out of the canyons when there was a wedding or a celebration. There vere about 20 houses in to1m, a train station, a church, a hotel Vith a restaurant, a school and 2 stores, one run by the Go~ez fe.mily and the other by Walter Ziebriski, Both stores had good selections of general ~erchandise. Ziebriski ::a.de quite a stir when he put a hand operated gasoline pump out in ~rent of his store. Since Ziebriski spoke E~glish with a heavy accent~ I could never understand one ~ord he said, but Dad could. I would listen to their conversations and as soon as we left ask father, 1·;rna t did he say?' 11 . "The train was the lifeline of our tovn. We vere a switching point on the :i:.a.in Ala.::.osa-Durango line for the b::-anch to Pagosa S-prings. T.c.s.trs -h7 ~e neened a ~otel. Th~ schenules didn't always =a.tch, so the people co~bg fro~ or going to Pagosa vere often caught bet~een trains and needed a place to spend t~e night. 'rnis gave us a gli=pse of the outside world, for so=e of tte traveling people were d.resse~ real fancy. We ad::ired then as ~~e7 val.ked up and do-wn the street 1n the evFnings. Tbe little girls w-a.tching then wouid say, 'This 1s our New York 1 • We were prpud of the hotel. It had everything but an indoor toilet. 11 . When it was ti.!:e for us to go to school, Dad got a place right in to-wn. Dad kept far-,-1ng and vas a good farner. I can still picture hi?:t planning his work and keeping bis accounts 1n a sma.l.l tablet. Be would look through it and say, 1 I owe so-and-so 2 days of vork; 1 or 1 So-andso·owes I?:.e a la!:lb this spring 1 • 11 · ·n1 was so glad when I finished 6th grade. That was al.l the school I wnted, but I vas sent to the Boarding School at Santa Fe to continue 1:IY·education. Wnat a scary trip that was. I had ridden trains before, but never away from oy parents and never so far away from ho~e. A bunch of"us were11 loaded on the train for .Antonito where ve suent the first night.· I 0 sure we all stuck out like sore thumbs, so- curious and always s~y-1.ng, 'Look at this~ 1 or 'Look at that!' The next day we got onto another train which took us south to Santa Fe." · · ''Every su!l::Iu.er I ca..tl.e ho:ne. The warm season was a busy time because ·,nr dried and canned md stored up al.l the food we needed for the winter ... No one was lazy. No one seet1ed to mind hard work. They would get going an~ get it done. Every- year ve vent CB.!llping to pick fruit and berries s~·many kinds, I don't re~ewber them all. Of course, there vere chokecherries and the Buvfaloberries. The river bottom near Sky Ute Downs used to be thick vith Bu!!aloberries. We found that some o.r the I i �;· . . .,,i. ~ 9 7 3 " I 3. / bllshe~ produced sveet, Juicy 'berries vhile others nearby vere sour. The /;I/ location of those bushes vas a !a:rl.ly secret. 11 -:--~ "ill or us l!.ked dances. 'l'"ney verA held outside 1n good vea the.r.:.. "Ir J it was cold or w~t, Felix Go=.ez let us use his ba=n. ill of us got _t/ together to decorate 1 t till it didn't even lock like a 'barn. '.;"e_.s.a ved alJ. our 'bright paper for paper chains and other decorations. You.rig and old cane V1th their lanterns. The old people vere treated very respectful.ly, even if they dic.n't dance, for they ~ere the good fiddle players. We went fro~ one to a..~otcer, a sk..:bg tbe~ if ttey would play for us. ~qen they got tired and went ho=e, the cia!lce ·.as over. 11 "On Saint Days there vere horse races and foot races. I once _von ·a length or cloth in a race. It was a welco=e prize. ?eople locked f~rward to t:he colebrations and the contests • .:...S the ti=e enuroac!Ed v.e engaged iri r:.u i~h speculation. Rm::crs would fly a=ound. 1 80-a.nd-so has a real fast horse this year.• or 1 So-and-so thinks he can beat last year's vinner. 1 11 "Hy r.other, ~-~ry Pena, vas recruited every year to help distribute per capita :pa:n:ents to t~e tribe. ~ad would load the vagon and. head.. for Arboles v4ere ve'd ju=~ 1n tte river to cool off and have lunch before· going on. We a.1....·ays ca.=.~ed near the- agency close to the p:rese:it site or the Eear Dan.ce Gro~ds fo~ several days. l{otter vas ctosen because she knew the na::-.es of all t:..e tribal ::.e=.bes. She rode 1n a car "rlth ~-o :. armed guards fro~ the B.I.A. ~!lo kept betveen then a huge sack of silver noney. None of the Indians wa11ted checks or paper ~onay. They didn't . trust it. ~acb tribal ~e~ber was given a cup of silver =o~ey, large cups for adults, s~a.11 ones for cb.ilc=e:i. I~e =o~ey wasn 1 t counted e.x.ac~. _ It vas· ~erely dip?ed i~to the sack and 1:::J.to t~e =e!l 1 S hats. Toe beginnings of wo=en•s lib on t he reservation =ay have started when one of the •..rives insisted th.at h~::- cup of =.cney be pcured into =.er shavl instead cf into her husband's b.at. 11 11 0ne Janu2.ry while I vas s~ill in big!l school at Santa ?e, I ·recefved the i::.ess2.ge t!lat i:.7 c.other was dead. Sr..e r:a.d rit.c.etr the trai!l. to .Igru?.-c-ic. The car she rode in vas so o~er!leated, tr:.at sbe was sweaty hot vheri s~e got off. The walk in the cold winter ,.,-;....nd fro~ t~e depot up to the agency gave ter fatal pneur::onie._'1 W.aen I finished ill. gh school, there wes nothing to keep me .in Pagosa . Junction, so I case to I gnacio to stay vith =7 aunt and uncle, Lucille and Fra....'"lk Baker. I stayed with tte:::i until I =arried Graves Gunn. _Graves and I had seven children: Harold, Aletta! ~=ery? Corrine, SylVia, ~a.z:.ice . and Sandr2.. Earold and E=ery are both dead nov. 1 11 1-Iy father, Juan Pena, is still alive and very active at 91+. L,o~g life seer:1s to be a tradition of his fa::uly. J'uan's ~other, Angelita .Tapia 11ved. to be 1 08. 11 71When I look back to 9.1lY' childhood, I see that we were made happy .· with such si=ple things. Going to Ignacio on the train was a once a _year treat. In August Dad would say, 1 I think it's ti.::e to go buy shoes -arid other things girls ~,d boys need. 1 Thell:la and I would get so excited .· Just thinking about the trip. 11 . _ . "Today the river has ea ted avay r:ruch of the lc11 d vhich used to oeiong to the town. Ziebriski 1 s store has fallen down and most of the ho~e~ · steads a.re deserted, ·but vhen I think of Pagosa Junction, I see it as, .i t vas 50 years a go. The school bell rings; the train ~oves into to'\olll; the hotel is busy. The canyon people are riding into town fer Saturday I the First Canyon peo1,1e, or the 1 shopping.
