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

Streams of people were departing and boarding the train. P.orters were ·pushing carts of luggage across the platform and hawkers were selling peanuts, apples, sandwiches, coffee and lemonade up and down the aisles of the coaches. The Conroys decided to stretch their legs. Mike helped his wife Lydia down the steps, then lifted down his~ year old twin daughters Mary and Martha aiia~his --, year old son Charles. Though it was fal1 Mary and Martha clearly remember a band nearby was loudly playing '!In the Good Old Summer Time". The Conroys were enroute from one way of life to another. Nine year~ before, Mike, the son of a Manhattan,Kansas, farmer caught the fever for the land run into the Cherokee Outlet. · He was there -on that hot day in 1893 with 180,000 others waiting breathlessly f~r the shot fired by the cavalrymen along the border which ~ignaled noon and the opening of the landrun. Mike had a wagon and two white horses. His competitors, stretching along the border of this vast land both to the right and to the left to the horizons and beyond were mostly people like him hungry for land of their own. Most had horses and wagons, but some had sleek race horses, a few were astride high-wheeled bicycles and a few with very determined looks on their faces were afoot. Mike was one of the lucky ones. He managed to stay fairly near the front of the raging sea of horses and to find a good piece or land. Others were not so lucky. Horses stumbled,wagon wheels shattered, gullies opened unexpectedly in front of racing thron gs and swallowed animals,wagons and peopl e . Men who staked oposi te ends of a claim shot 1 t ,)ut to decide who owned the land. This northwest Olkahoma territory was a trying land to farm. When the rains came Mike was amazed at the crops 1 t would produce, but 1 t was heartbr,? aking during the dry years to see the wheat sprout and wilt and turn brown under the. relentless sun. Mike sold his land in 1902 and decided to go to the mountains. After a brief rest the family reboarded the train. When they arrived in Pueblo, they visited an aunt for several days. The girls had never spent much time in a town of the size of Pueblo. One afternoon the girls were out playing hide-and-seek with their cousins and the neighbor children. Mary hid a little too well. Unfortunately, when she ran around the corner ot the block to hide, no one found her. By the time she decided to return to the yard she had lost her sense ot direction. Finally, a man passing by took her to the right address. The remainder of the trip to Durango took much longer than expected. When the Conroys changed to the narrow gauge train at Alamosa, the sky was grey and threatening over the mountains. Snow was falling so hard at ·Antonito that the train was delayed several days. Most of the passengers including the Conroys lived in the train till the passes were cleared. Mike bought a dairy farm on Florida road east of Animas City. Though Animas City had only two stores Mary and Marth liked to go there. Quickly they learned that Mike Kennedy, who owned the genera1 store, was a pushover. The two littl e gals would mosey over to the candy coun~er and stare longingly at the display until Mike would ease over with a big smile and give them each a sample. "I suppose we were spoiled ,- �·brat~;" admit Mary and '• Martha, "We had alway~ been babied and madeover because we were twins. When the girls were 5 and Charles was 6, they all three starte·d in the first grade at Animas City School. Good weather and bad their father put all three on the ·same horse for the ride down the valley to town. Animas City was the end of the line for ~he Durango Trolley. Whenever the family needed a better selection of goods they rode the trolley into Durango. Since Animas City had no high School, the girls went into Durango after grade 8. Both were members of the girls basketball team and both loved to dance. "Our parents were fairly lenient. They usually let us go to dances and parties whenever and wherever we wanted to go." Being a twin was· handy nb'W' and _then,too. Once when Mary faced a stiff German exam, she let Martha, who was a year ahead nf her in German, sit .infer her. Neither the students or the teacher caught on. Both Martha and Mary decided to become teachers. College training was ~ot required in those days, but it was necessary to pass a stiff exam. Martha taught in the Waterfall School in the Animas Valley and t hen moved south of I gnacio to teach the Harvey School. While there s he boarded with the Fred Harvey Family. "Sometimes we still visit Mrs. Harvey in Durango. She's about 92 now.'' Finally, Mart ha t aught at the Hood School 4 miles N.E. of ·Elmore's Store until she was married. Mary's first school was the Fairview School near Oxford. Then shE=> went to Holder School on Spring Creek , Mason School on Florida Mesa and finally she taught at the Morrison School north of Ignacio. As it is today schoolteaching was a satisfying, but very demanding job. Mary and Martha fre quently opened their schools for dances and box suppers. "Most of our dance music was accompanied by piano and violin. Gui'i:;ars were not too common at dances then." Both Mar tha and Mary admit to a string of beaus during those years, but when a sKed f or names and more details, they r eplied,"Let's leave that out." One episode they will tell (minu s the boy's name). Martha · had a date to go for a buggy r ide wit h a certain young man . The afternoon of the ride Martha became very 111 and asked Mary to go in her place . 11 He never knew the difference, 11 Mary recalls. Beyond this, they each admit to one feller, their husbands. Martha met Marvin Potter at a Grange Meeting at the Morrison School. They were married in Durango on Dec., 11+, 1919. "We drove out to Ignacio in a horse and buggy on what must have been the coldest day of the year. It took about 6 hours and was nearing evening when we arrived." The Potters have four children. Donald lives in Montrose. Jean McClanahan lives in Ignacio. Stanley 1s in. New Jersey, and Irvin is in Dallas. When Mary was 22, she met Leslie Patrick at a dance. She and Leslie were married in Durango on June 4, 1922. After the wedding ceremony, they rode the train to Ignacio and as soon as they arrived at the farm, Leslie put on his boots and went right out to irrigate. "That's the way life was then," says Mary. "We had to work like the dickens. We milked cows, separated the milk and sold the cream. We never could make a living just from the farm. Leslie always had to have another job as ditchrider, or carpenter or something else to earn enough. 11 The Patricks have two children. Lee Patrick lives in Gallup,N.M. and Eleanor Stanberry lives in Basalt, Colorado. During the long winter months of the 1920's the Potters and the Patricks came to town regularly to play basketball at Burns Hall. The ladies enjoyed it as much as the men. "Getting there was the hard part. 11 �Sometimes the road would be a string of mud holes. Everyone but the driver would have to get out and push. 11 In the spring and summer it was baseball. Marvin, Leslie, Louie Morris, Fred Robinson and others the ladies have forgotten were on the team. "In 1926 both our families went on a wild goose chase, 11 the ladies reea11. 11We packed up and headed for California. In Los Angelos one of the men got a job on the docks; ·the other drove a tea.m. 11 After a few .months the Potters moved on to Fresno where they had relatives, but it was suffocatingly hot in the summer. Finally, after visiting relatives in Oregon for a short while, both families decided to return t_Q'::·:Ignacio. "None of us ever seemed to feel at home out there. When we cros~ed the Colorado line west of Dove Creek, Leslie stopped the car, jumped out, threw his hat in the air and let out a wild yell of joy~ That's just how glad he -was to get back to Colorado." Martha and Mary started life together 76 years ago. Now that Marvin and Leslie are gone, it seems right that they are together again sharing life and memories. When asked what they think about being twins, they both reply, "It's great having a double. I'm sure we 1 ve always been closer because of it. 11 by Shelby Smith Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wiseman were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Hott at the Elk I s Steak Dinner Dance in Dura:ngo, Saturday, May 11 th.

Shortly after he was born the family moved to La Boca onto his grandfather I s farm. 11 My grandfather mostly taised sheep and goats. That 1 s where I learned sheep ranching." John got some sense knocked into him at an early age . "I found myself knocked to . r the ground more than once. You have to watch out for the Billy-goats ···, "and rams. 11 When John's grandfather, Tom Talyon, wasn't happy ·with the price offered for his sheep locally, he went looking for a better market . "I learned a lot from my grandfather. He wasn•t af:raid to go out and do things. If the prlce .was too low here, he would load his sheep on the train and go to Denver. I went with him a few times and learned a lot .about how to do business." •When John was a boy, most farmers raised some oates and wheat. 11 The Salabar ' s had a· thrashing machine and would move it from place to place, whichever was ripe first . All the neighbors helped one another until every one was finished. Mr. Barnes had a grist mill poweree by a water wheel where we could grind our grain for cattle and chicken feed. 11 Some of this grain was sold for cash, but a lot was kept for feeding on •the farm. . · In 19i 8 Suzie Wj.lliams d:i.ed in the great flu epideru:lc. Jobn was enrolled in the Indian Boarding School north of Ignacio . After 3 year s he was transferred to the Indian School at Santa Fe where he stayad till 1928 . That year he was called home for sheepherding, but in 1929 John resumed school i;:). Albuquerque for two ·~10:re years. Most boys don't care for school very ~uch, but John didn 't mind it. He says, 11 There was a time to study, a time to learn a trade and a time for games. 11 Speaking of games, John, like most Tribal members was a very good athlete. He participated in baseball, football, track, wrestling, and boxing. · From 1930 -1949, John worked at a variety of jobs - building the hospital(which is now the Tribal Building), operating the powerhouse at the Indian School and farming. During this period John married and had three children . When he and his wife were separated, John move to Durango to do construction work and then was offered a job at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. (Dugway was a center for uranium and chemical testing.) Most of his work there involved plumbing and construction. From there he got a job painting section houses for the railroad in Nevada. 11 I didn't expect to see anyone I knew in Red House , Nevada, but Manuel Baca and Julian Romero were there laying track for the railroad. On a trip to Salt Lake City~ John was offered a construction job at Ft. Duschene on the Northern Ute Reservation . (Local Tribal members call them Yankee Utes.) In the evenings a bunch of the young men at Ft. Duschene liked to play baseball. John was right in the middle of it. Since the Ft. Duschene Boarding School was close by the playing field, the dorm kids often came to watch. That 's where John met 16 year old Wanda Accuttoroop . A short time later they were married and came to Ignacio fo~ their honeymoon . Wenda says, "When John and I were married, he was real skinny, but I fattened him up. I think he likes ham and beans better than a..11ything . One year he was the Santa Claus for the Tribe and he fit the suit just right." { �..1 3, I John and Wanda have 1 O children: Roderick and Ronald( t'\'lins), Stanley, John Chadd, Elizabeth 5 Michael, Mary .Ann & Eric(twins) and ··) Michelle & Susan( twins). Wanda says, 11 I 15.ke my children, but when the last ones were born, I decided that was it.tr For three years Wanda has been a waitress at the Pino Nuche Restaurant and enjoys it. "I like to meet people, both new people and old friends. 11 In 1956 John Williams became a milestone in Indian Health.

() ~ ~-----) :, ,; �r · HAZEL and FBANCIS Martin Jones and his wife Mittie were farmers in Hillsboro Illinois, on May 28, 1-896, when their son, Francis, was born. They raised corn and wheat and earned a fair living by working hard. The Jones family n1:ight still be living in Illinois if V.artin had not felt the lure of another kind of life. When little Francis was three years old, the Joneses sold the farm and moved to Creede, Colorado, deep in the Rockies. Martin worked in the mines near Creede for a year or so, then got a similar job near Del Norte. The Jones children spent the remainder of their childhood in that beautiful place on the Rio Grande River with the mountains nearby. A new opportunity confronted the family in 1916. Land near Dove Creek, Colorado, was opened for homesteading and the Joneses decided they wanted some of it. The now famous bean country around Dove Creek was not much in 1916. It was rolling sagebrush covered hills marked with scattered clumps of tough cedar jun•i per and pinon trees. Francis recalls, "We pulled a heavy chain with 1+ mules to pull up the sagebrush and other shrubs. Whatever didn't come up with the chain we dug up with the grubbing hoe. Then there were all the trees to chop down. By the time we had finished clearing our homesteads ( My father and I each claimed one each) we felt as if we had earned them." · · When World War I started, Francis went to Oakland, California, to work in the ship yards~ His job was called 'bolting up 1 • When the war was over,Francis tried the Merchant Marine. First land training and then out to sea. He soon quit. "There was too much water out there for m:e. 11 He came back to Naturita, Colorado to work in the Vanadium mines. At the mine Francis made friends with Earl Swinford. When work stopp8d, Earl and Francis moved on to Gold Hill, Nevada, where they learned well drilling. Earl wrote letters asking for work ~n Canada, Mexico and Oklahoma, They received job offers in all three places, but finally chose the Shell Oil Co. in Oklahoma. "We went to Oklahoma in July of 1923. It was so hot, I lost 1, lbs. in a week. When I took my lunch to the field in my truck, it would be all melted and run together by noon. The worst day was 118 de·grees. We would work at a drill site .for a few months or a few weeks, then move on. At each new town Earl and I woula go to opposite sides of the street and knock on every door till we found someone who would rent us a room. We had been all over Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas for four years when we arrived in the little town of Nash in northern Oklahoma, " Nash was a drug store, a schoo.l, 3 filling stations, a grain elevator, 3 grocery stores, 1 cafe and a bunch o.f friendly people. Francis rented a room from Hazel Hildinger and her sister who lived and worked 1n Nash. Hazel was not expecting the arrival of another working man into Nash to change her life radically. She had lived her entire quiet life in the area of Nash. Her parentsl John and Sarah Hildinger had been in the Cherokee Strip Land Run in 1~93. They staked a claim and raised their 7 children on the farm 1½ miles east of Nash. Hazel remembers, "When I was a chi.l d, there was a lot of work on the farm, but we had fun,too. We played 'Run, Sheep, Run' and the other childhood games. I loved to ride horses. Every chance we got, we went I 8-9 miles west and a 11ttle north of I-lash to the Great Salt Plains. 11 The Salt Plains (now a state park in Oklahoma) are a flat swampy area of numerous salt springs and salty artesian wells. During dry periods when the water lowers, it leaves acres and acres of glistening ) �) white salt encrusting the ground. Once prized as a-source of salt by Indians.1 it was a playground and picnic and racing ground in Hazel's time. Then there was fun in school. Hazel was one of the 1,000 1 s of liberated girls on the plains during the 1920 1 s. She was a guard on her high school basketball team. 11 0ur uniform was socks, bloomers, a middy blouse and rubber soled shoes. We played the teams from nearby towns, Pond Creek, Jet and others. Our school also had baseball and track. About the time I 1"1.nished school football started ... At the time Francis came to Nash, Hazel was working at the Wilson store. They soon got acquainted and decided they liked one another very much. Hazel and Francis were married in Feb. of 1927. Shortly afterward, Francis moved on with the drill crew. Hazel stayed in Nash a while to dispose of her property. When she joined Francis in Texas, Hazel began an unforgettable period in her life. 11 We moved every few months. The longest time we spent any one place was 8 months 1n Ft. Stockton, Texas. It was dusty and hot - all white alkali soil. It was the worst, the berries! But most places we lived, even if we didn't particularly like them, were interesting places to be for a while. That wouldn't be the life for some people, but I loved it. Always new faces, new friends, new places to shop and to enjoy. 11 During the worst of the depression in 1932 Francis was laid off. The Joneses came to Ignacio and bought an 80 acre farm on the bill west of town and were just getting settled down to a life of raising hay and cattle when Shell 011 called Francis back to work. The pay was too good to ignor. Drillers earned about $10 per day at a time when most farm laborers were lucky to get $2-$3 per day. Francis rented the farm and headed for Oklahoma. . The Joneses first child, a little boy, died when he was 8 days old. Their second child was a girl whom they named Plaineau(a French name). When the time came for her to go to school, the family was still moving. Plaineau, who simplified her name to Pat, attended 2-3 different schools every year. Some children wouldn't have learned anything with so much moving around, but Pat made friends everywhere she went and did well in school. About the time she was ready for 7th grade, Francis decided she deserved a permanent home. He asked for and received a pumper's job at Antelope, Texas, south of Wichita Falls. "It was so nice to build our own home on the lease, 11 Hazel recalls. "The first ot the 19 wells Francis serviced was only about 50 steps out the back door. Pat finished High School a~ Antelope. We lived there until 1953. Francis retired that year and we came ha.ck to the farm in Ignacio. We then lived at the farm 16 years, raising hay and Black Angus cattle and selling eggs. Seven years ago we sold the farm to Jal:e Candelaria and took his house in trade." The kind of life the Joneses lived so long is hard to shake off. "We miss it. Some times we get the urge to travel so strong its hard to sit still. That's one reason you see our white Pinto on the road around here so much." Shelby Smith ... �\. - . .

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

The remainder they sold or gave away to their friends in Abiquiu, New Mexico, for they were about to start a long trip to the north. It was the year 1900 when Jose and his wife heard about the opportunities developing in the San Juan Valley near the Colorado line. They talked it over and decided to go there. Settling near Rosa, they bought some land and opened a general store and blacksmith shop. At first they ~~re in partnership with Jose•s brother-in-law. Later each man owned his own store. By 1910 when Epimenio and his twin sister were born, (the youngest of 11 children) the family was well established at Rosa. Epimenio says, "My twin sister died when I was, months old and then my mother died when I was one year and three months old. One of our neighbors, Candelaria Valdez, took me to raise as her ewn. I kept in touch with my father and my brothers and sisters, but Mrs. Valdez was a mother to me. I started to school at Rosa and finished 8th grade at Arboles. When I was old enough, my Dad let me work in the store and taught me some of the Blacksmith trade." 11 In 1929 when I was 19, I got my own sheep. Most of the time I grazed them on Federal land leased from the Dept. of the Interior on Middle Mesa. The lease cost about $.13 per head. Most winters the snow was not deep enough and did not last long enough to be a problem, but in 1931 I lost one third of my flock in the deep snow. Prices all went dow:n in the 30 1 s. We got 12 cents per pound for -wool and 8 cents a pound for lambs. 11 In 1941 when Epimenio was thrashing grain for Manley Hott, He got acquainted with Adela Mascarenas. Adela 1 s father, Celestino Mascarenas had been born in Clayton, New Mexico, later migrating with his parents to Rosa, where he met and married Magdalena Quintana in 1922. They were homesteading on their first farm when Adela was born. 11 1 was born in our cellar on the homestead. That was the first dwelling my parents built on their farm. We lived on that place until J was 4 years old. Then we moved to Silverton where Dad worked in the Treasure Tunnel Mine. I have good memories of those years. It was wonderful. to live in Silverton as a child. If you were a dare-devil, which I s~ppose I was, there were many adventures waiting. ,I don 1 t know how.we survived the railroad pump cars. A bunch of us would sneak dolm. to the rail yards, crawl up on one of the hand operated repair cars and pump it out of town up into the mountains. When we were high enough, we coasted back to town. The car would squeel around the curves nearly turning over and nearly throwing us off. Once into the flat part of town, it gradually slowed down and stopped in the rail yard. Though we did this many times 7 no one ever stopped us or warned us not to do it again. While in Silverton I met my future husband for the first time. Epimenio was herding sheep in the high mountains near Pyramid Peak. Since it was only about 28 miles to Silverton over the passes, He decided to come to La Fiesta de los Boregerros. He stayed"'With relatives near our home and pastured his burros nearby. I decided to ride the burros. I grabbed their tails and swung my feet up into the hollow of their hind legs just above the knees and rode them all over the place. You tell me why they didn't kick." "I didn 1 t see Epimenio again until we moved back to Rosa. Through the years as I was growing up, I saw him occasionally at dances, but had no friendship with him until I was 18. While we were both working at the Hott's !arm, Epimenio began to talk to me. At first I was not interested in him, but he vas nice and I began to think th.at since we were both interested in cattle and sheep and liked farm life, perhaps we could be happy.together. �~/97fr 3 W:e ve:r.-e married in October of 1941. 11 Epimenio was drafted in 1942. He was sent to Camp Roberts, then to Hawaii and on to the Solomon Islands. The Native People were very friendly , to Americans, but the Japanese planes and snipers were not so friendly. Ep1menio 1 s unit guarded the airfields on Espiritu Santu Island. - After · 17 months he was sent back to Hawaii and San Francisco for hospitalization. When Epimenio got heme, he and his family spent one summer in Aztec before moving back to Rosa where he did farm work until 1960. The Quintanas have 10 children: Nattie, Esther, Baltazar, Epimenio Jr. (deceased), Elaine, Bernard, Freddie., Larry, Selina and Jeanette. In 1960 life was rudely interrupted in the San Juan Valley. All the People in Rosa and in the valley above Navajo Dam had to move out to make way for the rising waters of Navajo Lake. The government gave Epimenio $1,900.00 for the 12 acres he had inherited from his mother. It wasn't enough, but people had to take what they could get. . "We moved t".p on Stollsteimer Creek for one summer until we found this place to buy west of Ignacio. We've been here ever since and are very happy with this place. 11 Shelby Smith ?J1~ ~~'?'lk, ~- /2.'I() ~ .i.Juu~ ~~ ~'9-~ - J?~~,,/~ ~-~ ~~~ _91/.*- : l ~ - .,f.4.,,i, ~ ~ ~ ~ Mrs. Charlotte Jones returned home May 9th following a two weeks visit with her daughter Jacqueline and family, the Rex Reas in Arvada.

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

At the crest of a small rise the clear swift Navajo River came into view. The shouts · of the children and the smile on their mother's face were signs almost as plain as the warmth of the day that the long cold mountain winter was over and once again the time of new life and renewal had begun. The wagon stopped on a grassy rise near the river. The mother gave swift directions. 11 Ben, unhitch the team. Conrado, unload the wagon. M~nuel, gather some firewood. Lucio, get a pail of water right away. 11 The Cruzes were camped at the river several times a year for a very simpl~ reason. When you can't take the river to the wash, you take the wash to the river. Bedding, quilts, mattress covers, clothing,curtains,· and every other washable item in the house hold was brought the eight miles to the river several times a year, i.va.shed by hand in the rocky shallows on the washboard, dried, folded and carried home smelling sweetly of mountain air and sunlight. Each wash requixed 3-4 days . The boys fished, hunted, waded in the river, frolicked, ate like mules, helped with the washing chor~d when necessary and. enjoyed the whole affair. Conrado Desiderio (C.D.) Cruz, 2nd son of Leandro and Rafelita Cruz was born in Chimayo, N.M. on February 19, 1914. The fa mily moved to Chama, then to Haines north of. Cuba and finally to Dul ce ·where Leandro worked in a lumber mill. Leandro wanted land of his owno When he heard about a homestead available near the town of Edith, he took the chance and filed on 160 acres of dry land. Soon after the Cruzes settled on their land, their neighbors came in force, chopped down trees, hauled logs and helped erect a well-constructed, warm log house. This same cooperative spirit prevailed during the rest of the year. 11 0ur neighbors watched one another's fields. Wherever the wheat ripened first, the whole neighborhood would gather for the harvest. The wheat was cut with hand s cyt hes and tied i n small bundles. As soon as one fiel d was finished, t he ",'.Orkers would move to the next ripe field. If the moon was bright, t he men often stayed with t he job until 12:00 or 1 :oo. We enjoyed hel pin g our neighbors and got a lot of work done together. I think people were happier then. 11 The Cruzes raised most of what they ate potatoes,beans~habas, squash, peas, blue corn, fruit, wheat,oats and blue corn. Whenever they needed flour, they and their neighbors would take several wagon loads of wheat and corn to the mill at Bayfield 9r the one at Tierra Amarilla. It would take several days to reach the mill and then perhaps a week for the grain to be ground. Those who had money paid for the grinding. Those who had no money could pay the miller with grain. It was a good thing the Cruzes raised their own wheat. C.D. says with a family of eleven it was common to use up a 50 lb. sack of flour each week. Garden produce was either dried or kept in the cellar. Dried apples, apricots and peaches were apportioned out to the children during the winter. The children relished these fruits as .much as any Sunday sucker. C.D. did not get to attend school every year and when he did, it was usually for only 2-3 months in the winter. He rode a burro to aschool 8 miles across the border in Colorado , carrying hay _for the animal and lunch for himself in a 3 lb. lard can. 11 1 wasn't any angel," C.D. freely I �. . admits. 11 Whenever the teacher sent a student to the river for wj_llows, it was usually me or Ben ·they were used on. 11 When it came to throwing r ocks, dipping a girl 1 s pigtails in ink, getting into fights or playing hockey, it was C.D. involved more often than not. A girl named Margie Abeyta was a special problem to C. D. I! She ·was a bookworn and a tattletale. Even when I hadn't done anything, she would tell on me and the teacher would always believe he:r.n C.D. hated old Margie as only children can hate. He would never have believed it if anyone had ever told him that Margie would one day be his wife. ) During the summers C.D. and Ben were assigned to herd the sheep in the hills near their home. C .,D. 11 suffered 11 from a strange affliction which can only be called 11 sleeping sickness 11 • 11 .As soon as ·we 1 d get the flock over the first hill, I'd find a s hady patch of bushes, lie down and go to sleep. 11 Ben complained, . Hr . Cruz t hreatened, but Co D. couJ.dn' t resist t he lure of his siestas. 11 Dad caught me one day, took me straight to the house and told Mother to put me t o bed and keep me there all day. I couldn't sleep a wink in the house. I guess that broke me.n Over the years Leandro and Ra.felita slowly inq:reas13d their flock until they a.ad· about 1 ,ooo head. C.D. r emembers November of 1931 . The lambs had been separated and taken d otm fro m the high c ountry . The e,·m s were still there. No one expected 7 feet of snow that wi n t er , much les s did t hey expect it to start t his early. Over n ight 3-4 fee t fell . The herdsmen s tarted immed.:i.ately for their w1nter grounds in Gobernador Ca.nyon. I t continued to snm·1. 11 We broke a trail for tl;l.e flock with the horses and mules until their legs ·were sore and bleeding. · Every day many sheep dlod. He finally realized the snow was as deep at Gobernador as it Wc"cS in the mountains and just gave 'lp. Only about 50 sheep survi•ved. That winter just about wiped out everybody. 11 ~ One year C.D. 1 s cousin, who had bought 10 acres on the Navajo River, hired him and Ben to clear the willoi.vs. They worked 1 5 days f o:c a • 22 r ifle and a guitar; t hen another 5 days for a violin. Nei ther of the boys had ever played an i nstrument before., nor was there a nyone to give t hem lessons) but they taught themselves to play and soon were being h ired for parties, weddings and other celebrations. Wr.1.en times got har d in the '30 1 s, C. D. joined the CCC and wa~ sent to camp a t Los Alamos, NoM. He was paid $25.00 per month. $20.00 was sent h ome and the other $5.00 was issued to the boys in the form of coupons for candy, cigarets, etc. The boys were often given passes to Espanola or Albuquerque o:r Santa Fe for the weelrnnds, but anyone who had not returned to camp by bed check was put on KoP. for 2-3· months. Conrado was on K.P. a lot of the time. · When C. D. and ifargie Abeyta (his old enemy from grade ssl1.ool) dec1ded to get married, both sets of parents were opposed. Tb.eir reasoning was sj_mply that a horse and a mule shouldn't get ma1 ried. C,D. was known as a. hell-raiser and Margie uas a school teacher and pretty much the same book worm as before; but inspite of the OPlJOsition, t hey were married in 1935, C.D. worked as a logger while Eargie taught s chool. From 1939-48 C.D. herded sheep in Utah from sprirg to late fall and spent the winters at home. They had four children"".' Ivonne, DavJ.d, Sofie and Deanne. Margie died in 1955. 1 After working in the coal mines in Dragerton, Utah, and on the pipelines near FarmiD;gton, C.D. moved to Ignacio and married Concie Keys �3 in 1960. They have one daughter, Kathy. Today, C. D. still plays his violin for weddings and parties c:md has a good ttme wherev_er he goes. Like his fa ther-:i.n-la.1.,r, Louie Valencia, he 1 s a good guy with a little bit of the devil in him.
