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. He ' .r was the first tribal member in the country qualified and hired as ~ .. · ., Sanitarian. From 1962 -1972 John was a member of the Tribal Council. During several of those years he served as Chairman. Presently, he is Resources Coordinator for the Tribe. John has lived long enough to remember ma.ny ·of the old ways and to see many things change. 11 I r emember seeing the old :people dry deer mea.t and dry and pound chokecherries into cakes. We used to be afraid to get wild honey, but then ·we lear ned to put on ploves and wear a net ove~ our ·heads. Years ago there were so many fish in the stream in the Vega that we c ould drive them into gunny sacks. Then we'd boil them and dry them for winter." Though John has many good memories of long ago, he does not live in the past. ·when asked :for his age John said, 11 I' m 35. I feel like I 1 m 35 and :people treat me like I 1.m 35. That's why I keep worlt:ing. I'm not going to fold up at 65'. I I ve got a job and a farm · to take care of.

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.

(GORMAlf) JONES Charlotte Gorman was born in Chicago, the daughter of William and Frances Gorman, both of whom were Canadian i mmigrants born near Toronto, Ontario. ·when William and Francis met in Chicago in 1900, she was working as a bookkeeper·ror t he Balti~ore and Ohio Railroad . William worked for the Chicago Street Railr oad Co . which operated horse-drawn street cars all over the Chicago Metro ar ea . Women were supposedl y unliberated in 1900, but Frances played golf often and well. Both she and William were interested in the theater. Years later Charlotte says s he recalls hearing them talking about the Barrymores and th~ Drews and other f amous acting families of that period. Host recreation in Chicago during the summer centered around Lake Michigan . "In the summer my mother and her brothers and sisters usually rented a houseboat on the lake. The boat was moored to a pier off the shore several miles from. town. The only access to town was a pac~et boat which came along once a day . If we wanted to go to town for shopping or to send mail , we raised a flag on the boat as a signal for the pack3t boat to stop . These vacations were a cool relaxing time of swimming , fishing, sunbathing and r est. 11 Charlotte's memories of Chicago , such as those above, have been reinforced by her par ents, since she was only about four years old when t he Germans moved to the Ozar ks.. Before William retired he began dabbling in the buying and selling of real estate. He moved the family on to one of his plots near Ironton and Burbank, Miss ouri, about 90 miles south of St. Louis. During t he year and a half t he Gormans were there, William was the post master in Ironton. Then William heard of the Loma Land Development Co., which was opening farming land in the Colorado River Valley west of Grand Junction and Fruita. William and many other easterners invested in far mland there. A Presbyterian Mission was opened at Loma and is still operating, but the farm projects did not do so well. Neither the Germans nor the other easterners had heard of alkali land. Most of the farms at Loma proved largely unsuitable for irrigated farming. Therefore the Gormans moved to Orchard Heights near Fruita. Then began some of the most enj oyable years of Charlotte's life. "Orchard Heights was a beautiful place. We could look right up into the Colorado National Monument from our yard. The orchards, mostly apples, occupied hundreds of acres. Our place was rented from a New Yor k State man who had planted every kind of apple we knew about and many varieties we never knew the names of . 11 Charlotte and her br other, Douglas traveled to school at Fruita 3 miles away in a horse - drawn school bus. The bus consisted of a wagon with seats along the sides and benches for ,the little ones down the middl e . It was roofed and had black oil -cloth curtains which could be closed during bad weather. . "All the young ones in our area played "hide-and-go-seek ' and went swimming during the warm months . During winter we had community parties or went ice s kating on t he stock ponds . 11 Fall was a time of work, a time of apple picking and potato digging and of constructing apple boxes . The grower s built their own appl e boxes from pre-cut sticks .a nd boards . Charlotte remembers doing her share of nailing. Then the apples were pa cked , hauled to the Railroad Depot and shipped. Farm children have opportunities for varieties of pets largely unavailable to city kids. Charlotte remembers one pet lamb which became a nuisance 1n the neighborhood. ) �:2_ "He would follow our buggy wherever we went. Once he followed us all the way to Loma where he made himself a nuisance in the flower beds. Almost the whole town turned out to make sure he followed us when we left." When Charlotte was about.10 years old, her parents moved to another place near Fruita where they attended a country school for gr~des 4-8. William grew potatoes and tomatoes as well as apples there. "While we were there a counle of burros ca!!l.e to live with us. They just showed up. Douglas would try to ride one of them to school, but he usually didn't make it. About halfway there the burro. would turn around and head for home and Doug would have to walk all the way to school ·anyway. 11 Charlotte loved to read and did a lot of WTiting, too. At the age of 9 she announced that she intended to be a newspaper reporter. 11 I don 1 t know why I said that, but it nmst have been a premonition of things to come. 11 In high school Charlotte especially enjoyed English, dramatics and journalism. She was the editor of the first Fruita High School newspaper. In college, Charlotte majored in journalism and would have accepted a job on the Grand Junction newspaper, but the wages were · too low. Instead she taught .school in Fruita for l+ years. i ; r first came to the San Juan Basin to visit a college friend who lived in Cortez. I stayed. in Durango a while at the SterJ_ing Hotel which was operated by Lawrence Wiseman's mother. Mrs. Wiseman and I became good friends and she took me ~Tith her on a visit to Ignacio to see Lawrence and Hargaret. It was on this visit that I met my future husband. Fay Jones worked at the sugar beet mill in Brighton during the fall and early winter. During spring and sumruer he came back to Ignacio to help his. aunt and uncle run the Comme!'cial Hotel which was located on Goddard Ave. where the recent Bill Liese auto repair shop is located. 11 The hotel has burned down: 'since then. but in its day Charlotte says it was a very nice place and.an interesting place to stay. "All kind of travelBrs, including Washington officials hereon Tribal business were there. The parlor was a place of lively conversation and fun in the evenings. The restaurant served delicious food. A complete Sunday dinner cost $.40." Inflation operated then, too. Charlotte says Louis Morris recalls what a blow i t was when the Sunday di nners increased f ram $. l+o to $ . 50 per =i_eal. 11 I s tayed there in tb.e hotel several days. They were so snort handed that I was offe:i:'eo. a job and took it. It ·was there I got a cquainted with Fay. We got married ~n November ,of 1933 . Fay worked i n t h e mill i n Brighton t ill Christmas time. Then we ca~e back to Ignacio. 11 _ Since steady jobs were almost ~mpossible to find during those depression years, when Fay a..~d Charlotte got a chance to buy the Ignacio Chieftan, they took it. At that time the Chieftan was located in otehalf of the building now occupied by Rudy's Lounge. The other half of the building was Mr. Stauffer 1 s Barber Shop ( Jessie Hott's father ) . Charlotte was the editor and renorter and Fay was the publi sher a~d advertising manager ; . It wasn't- easy to keep a newspaper alive during the 30 1 s. Many subscriptj_ons were paid in pr oduce rather than with cash. One man paid his with strawberries for years. The Joneses ha,,e three children: Malcom lives in La Porte, Texas, Jacqueline Rea lives in Denver and Kathleen Rosenberg lives in Oakland, New Jersey. �4- -3 Fay died in 1968. Since ~hen Charlotte has spent quite a bit of time traveling. She has been to Canada twice· to visit relatives and on a bus tour of Mexico. No one is surprized that Charlotte can't quit writing. She has written a number of short stories and is currently working on a history of the Presbyterian Church in this area. Every month Mrs. Jones voluntarily supplies most of the news for tfu.is newsletter. A healthy interest in life is rewarding and invigorating. Charlotte certainly has this. 11 When I first ca,ne to Ignacio~ I thought it was a· fascinatine place with its variety of cultures and traditions and its beautiful surroundings. I still do. 11 Shelby Smith JlJLY SOCIAL Welcome to our July 25 social~ DATE: WHERE: WHE!f: HOW: .July 25, 1975 Ute Park 12.00 noon Pot luck We hope to make this a good old summertime social in the park.

I think the house is still · there. My father built a good barn and corral. We had chickens and milk goats and hogs and range cattle and riding horses and draft horses. The draft horses were 11 Perchn (Percherons) and weighed 1500 to 2000 lbs. They could really plow and pull the wagons. Hy father raised wheat and hay for the animals and potatoes and beans for the family. 11 When Jimmy I s mother died j_n June of 1 907, J·immy and his father and his sister Grace and his brothers Julian and Frank and Cassey faced a l onelier world~ It was still two years until J·immy 1 s father took him to' t he Indian School at Ignacio . During summer starting at the age of 12 Jimmy was sent to the hills to herd the cattle. "I rode my horse up to the Vega every week to count the cows. Some of them would be way up in the brush. \fnen we went up some of the steep h:i.lls I would get off the hor se and grab a hold of his tail and he would pull me right up. The first year I went up I was afraid a lion or a bear or a bobcat would get me, but I never had any trouble. 11 One of these trips Jim.my will never forget. He was late g_etting started back and then it started to rain and how it.rained! 11 Before I got out of the Vega ·, it started to rain. By the time I got to the Di pping Vat on Cat Creek my horse and I were both soaked and it· was so dark we cot~ldn I t see nothing except · when those big lighten~rtgs came down . I didn't get home until 1 : 00 or 2 :00 o'clock. n In the days when Jimmy was a boy, one of the best ways and certainly one of the most exciting 1-rays to obtain new weal th and val ua b1 e property -, was to hunt the wild horses in the hills above Caracas. Jimmy and his father and brothers sometimes were gone several days patiently tracking, listening, stalking and then off on a wild chase t o rope a few or, if possible, to drive a herd into a box canyon. 11 0ur friends Tito and To_ny and Narc is so Gomez sometimes went with us• Then we all got together to brand the horses and break them . Our brand was a curved arrow with a split tail like this~ 1 11 In the winter of 1915 we went out one morning and all our horses were gone . ·we told the marshall, Porfirio Chavez. There was deep snow and he tracked the men all the way to Lumberton and brought our horses back and put the men in jail in Pagosa. They turned out to be so~e of our neighbors. After the trial, they were put in the pen." Jimmy lived at Caracas until 1916, then he moved over toward Ignacio . In 1918. he was drafted and sent to Brwonsville, Texas, then to Laredo, then to San Antonio and finally to Ft. Riley in Kansas. Ji!llIIlY was in Company A, 9th Engineers and was trained to be a blacksmith; During the First World War the army had some motorized vehicles, bu:t it also retained many horses and mules and wagons. Therefore, blacksmiths were needed to shoe the horses and to keep the wagon wheels in repair. Jimmy would have been sent to France soon, but, as he explains, 11 Woodrow Wilson and Ka~.ser v.filhelm signed the peace." When Jil'Il.I:'.ly was mustered out of the army in 1921, he decided he wanted to see the country, so for a while he rode. the rails. "I went all over the country as far as Bismark/, North Dakota, but I never got caught because I moved like the coyote. 1 • �Then J-immy got a job on this D. & .R. G. W. Railroad on the line beti,xe-::m Denver and Steamboat Springs as a mambe1· of the Extra Gang. Jiru::,iy: s CI'E.i'\d spent a lot of time on the lines around. 1-Ioff at Tunnel 13,000 feet up c::-1 the continental divide 11est of Denve:r-. Jimmy enjoyed. the changeable '..:eatb.121• and the beautiful su~rises and sunsets visible from the divide. Ji~•~ rPmembers one mo1•ning when 11 the sun came up pale, so pa.le over the lalrn. (Yankee Doodle Lake) It looked like the moon.n After- working a while on the railroad, j-imny went down to Denver and got a job with the Public Service Company till 1926. The next year Jimmy's father died and Jim1:.1y came back to Ignacio to stay . Re married Bessie Box.They lived on his place about a mile east of Ignacio where he raised cattle and hogs and chickens. '.th:Ls month Jim.my celebrate6 his 76th birthday. He has bee11 alone for· a long tirae. Of course, he gets lonely so:ne times 1 but he is st.i1l strcnr: and healthy, likes to walk a lot for exercise, and has a wonderful sense of l:m1:10:r.

When asked what it's like to grow up in a house full of people, Lucy says, ''My_ older brothers and sisters took care of me, carried me, dressed me and fed me. J·lother was busy all the time. She never stopped. The older kids had to help with the younger ones because mother had onl y a little time to spend with each child. When Lucy was 4 year s old her parents, Cornelio and Ferminia Val dez decided to leave Blanco., New Mexico, and moved to a farm south ot.: Ignacio . "When I look back on those days, I think how poor we were, especially compared with today. We each had one set of clothes and one pair of shoes. When the shoes were worn. completely out, father would try to buy us another pair. 11 •Father and the boys were always busy on the farm. They raised grains and hay. We produced our own potatoes and beans and corn and everything else we· could grow • . Mother dried apricots and peaches and vegetables. In the fall our cellar was full of potatoes, squash and apples. After it was cold enough, the butchering would start. The hams were coated with curing sugar, wrapped with cheese cloth and stored in the cool house. We hung a leg of beef outside and cover it with a sheet. Whenever we wanted meat we went out and-cut off whatever portion was needed. In the spring the leg of beef was moved into the cool house until it was used up." "We seldom ever came to town except to go to mass on Sunday. Dad and the boys hitched the team to the big wag,on. To keep our dresses clean we threw quilts into the back of the wagon. If the weather was bad we stayed home and Dad read the Bible to us. 11 Transpor tation in the ol d days s eems slow to people today, but it was dangerous at times . Lucy. recal ls , 1.ronce Dad and Mother and Mary wer e ·driving the wagon from La Boca to Ignacio. When the tail of one of the horses got caught in the reins, it became very frightened and bolted. Tlm •Wagon turned ov·e r . Dad and Mary were unhurt, but Mother I s leg was broken, · After Dad got the wagon t ipped up again, he lifted Mother inside and brought her to Dr . La Forge ." • Like most children of her generation, Lucy loved to ride horses. 11 We always rode bareback to br ing the cows in. We liked to ride fast and to race, At that time I woul d rather ride horses than anything." Lucy got to go to school in the country a few years, then the family moved to town. "I was a little afraid to go to school in town because I could speak hardly any English, but I met Jesse Stauffer and Frences Copeland and they became good friends. Within a week or so I could get along with the English pretty well. I began earning my f irst money washing and ironing clothes for Mrs. Wayt (Vida Ritter 1 s mother). I went earl y before school t o wash and hang the clothes. At noon I would take them off the line and sprinkle them. Then in the evening I ironed them. I made $. 7 5 an hour doing that. 11 11 I . Dad didn t care for dances, but Mother loved them. She often took us kids to the dances at the S.P.M.D.T.U. Hall. It was at one of the dances there that I met Andy Duran. Andy's first wife had dierr some time before. We dated for about two years and then decided to get married. Andy Duran was born in Purango on October 29, 1902. His mother died when he was still a small child, so his grandpa.rents raised him \ ) �3. ;i,, in Rosa, N.M. Andy quit the 8th grade to go to work on . the railroad. He was still working on the railroad when he and Lucy were married. The Dura.t1s have 1 O children, Andy Jr., Cornelio, .Jack, Orlando, Rudy·, . . -1 Lillian, Eileen, Corinne, Martha and Yolanda. As a railroad employee Andy and his family had free tickets to ride the train. Most of their travel was back and forth to Durango for shopping and visits. In 194-1 Andy was moved to Rico as Section Boss. After a couple of years there he got an opnortunity to·work in the mines at Telluride and Ophir and stayed with that for 12 years. That is definately not easy work, but living ther e provided a magnificent place for the children to grow up . Probably no place in this country has more spectacular scenery or more opportunity for outdoor fun than the mountains around Telluride. Lucy remembers, 11 0ur house was full of fishing gear, snow shoes and skiis. The boys were.out camping or hiking or fishing er hunting as much as they could. Even today the boys take their families over there and 11 camp and fish and· try to share that beautiful place with their children. Boys, even good boys like Andy' s and Lucy ' s, are r ascally at times. They were in and out of mischief, 11 Lucy recal ls . "I especially remember the time they and their friends were dar ing one another to ride the tram cable across the valley." A trara withbig ore -buckets carr ied the ore from the mine down to the mill. Unknown to us the boys had been daring one another to jump up and grab a hold of the. cable and hold on until it carried them across the valley to the next hill where they could jump off. I guess some of them had been doing :tt. Finally, it was Cornelio 1 s time. What he didn't know was how close it was to 12:00 noon. At noon the mine whistle went off and everything, including th0 tram stopped while the miners had lunch. Cornelio was about half ';Jay across the valley when the whistle blew and the cable stopped. Well, i no one can hold on for an hour. Cornelio's arms gave out, he fell and fortunately, only broke a leg. 11 For several years the family lived in company housing at the mine at Altus. Sometimes we were sno\.;red in for a week, but we always had plenty of coal· and plenty of food stoclrnd u:p. Avalanches would cover the roads and the big rotary plows would haYe to come. dig it all out. 11 As anyone kno,;.1s who lives around Ignacio, Andy and Lucy have wonderful children. Their method of child rearing is as follows: nwe always tried to make our children understand that God should be first in peoples lives and then a good education so that they can earn a living and be of use to others. Children should be whipped when they are bad .until about age 12. From then on they have minds of their oi<m and if they haven't learned right from wrong by then it 1 s probably too late, anyway. 11 When the mines closed around Tellurinde about 1954, the Du.rans moved back over to Ignacio. Andy did farm work around this area until it was time to retire. But like many other active people have discovered, retirement is not necessarily that much fun. So Andy is working again this summer. When asked if there is something she would like to do that's never been possible, Lucy replies, 11 ! have al\•mys dreamed of going to Rome to see the Pope, but that's a long way over there. 11 Even if Lucy never gets to go, she and Andy can look back on a panarama of ,life experiences with many good memories. Their lives have sp2...nned great changes in this country :nl they still enjoy- good heal th, \._) We wish them many more years of health and happiness and their children many more reunions at Telluride. · Shelby Smith 11 �September 19 ·senior Social (with a session on Arthritis) Welcome to our Sentember Social!

Not f ar from the Black Forest in the south part of Germany j_s the town of Baden- Baden . .Lridrew Hauer t and his family were the latest i n a long line of Hauerts who had lived and reared t heir families there . All the cor1mon people in Ger many had a c~aft. Jmdrew was a weaver • . He earned extra mqney working on the f arm of a large land ovmer . o,ming his m•m land ,,,as unthi nkable as. it was for most of the common people in Europe . When f....ridrew got the idea to come to America , his brothers did not approve at all, but Andrew persis ted for several r easons . Among them, he wanted to own land and he wanted . to get ~imself and his f ar.1i ly away from t he r!1 ili tar y . All the young men in Germany were d·raf ted , went through rigor ous training and were required to stay in the army a long time . In 1893 Andrew , hi s ·wife Lizzie and their . children sailed for America . His brothers were certain it was a foolish ventur e and t hat Andre,-, . woul d want to return, but they were wrong. Andrew didn ' t stop until he r eached Provo, Utah. There h·e worked for a while unt il he heard about a settlement of German people in Thor.ipson Par k bet·ween Durango and l-:iancos , Colorado. After moving his family to Colorado , A.1"1drew ,,,orked in the sawmill, then t).e l eased a ranch below He sperus. He had only ·,P7. 25 to start r anching, but he. managed. It 1.-,as her e t hat little Karl, who was only 2 years old when t he Hauerts car:ie. to America, began to learn farmin12: and ranching. 'db.en Karl was 6, his par ents boarded him with the Olberts at Thompson Park so he could attend school there. Fairly often the Utes visiting back and forth betueen Ute Nountain and I gnaci o stopped for the night at the Olberts r anch. Chief Ignacio was with theI:1 sometimes. ,· 11 • Usually , the Indinns would have supper with us, 11 Karl r ecalls, "and visit for a while . Once old Hr . Olbert decided to play a trick on one of the Indians . He placed a small piece of limburger cheese on his plate . As soon as the man smelled the cheese , he l eft t he house and refused to re turn . 11 A few years later Andrew bought a farm on Cherry Creek in Thompson Par k . Ka.rl r emembers. 11 That year we didn • t have much money . So we skinned and a te 7 deer . There wasn 't any season then. I got so tired of deer meat that year I have never lik ed it again. 11 As time pErmitted , the Hauer ts built a large farmhouse , a barn and other outbuildings . Their water was supplied by a spring which was piped into the house . For heat the Hauerts mined their O T1m coal. "He had to dig quite a ways back i nto the seam befor e we f ound good coal , but finally we found soue of the best in the area. 11 Karl and his father built a large , very strong corral. Unexpectedly, this made him some new friends and gave him a small bit of income once or twice a year . "A bunch of cowboys would round up wild horses in Utah and the four corners area and drive them to Denver to sell. They always stopped. at my father's r anch overnight because his corraJ. was the only one large enough and strong enough ·t o hold the animals . They always left the best t,.-,o horses for my dad. Re would break them to ride and sell them to the Indians for ;?5.00 or i,~10.00 each. 11 Karl a-rid Hinnie Helugin were married. They had three children: Ruth, Robert a_r1d Shirley all of ,-,hom ·were r eared on the r anch on Cherry Creek . Un~il 1905 t here was no church in Thompson Park. That year Julius Frese, an ordai ned r:::.i nister of the Lutheran Churchfrom Omaha moved there to organize a church. Eventually, a chapel ·was built to ser ve the people of that area . �Tbe Town of Ignaci o was naP1ed af t er Chief Igna cio, a sub-chief u nde1~ \-:ief Ouray of the 'i'ler.ii nuche band of Utes. He was an i ?:Jpress1.vc 1'!1an c·omria.ndi ng attention from everyone. Be stood six feet tall and was on~ of the tallest of the chiefs. Peaceable by natu:re, he was always t r ying to stop f i ghting and U? ri s ings which were usually brought on by cowboys or white settlers . Chief Ignacio ' s life was var:Led. and interesting . Hi s father was a ereat medicine man a;::ong his people . Or gjnially f r om Utah he spent most of hi s life i n t he Pine Hivar area .

Since the main highway runs up on the Florida Mesa and mostly local travelers use the bridge, it receives little attention. Perhaps a few of the old-timers of that area remember how it got its name. Weazel Skin was a Ute who settled on a tract of land in the Animas Valley in the 1880 1 s. · He raised sheep and goats and developed a profitable farm and ranch operation on the river. Weazel's English name was Hickey Williams. One cf his daughters who grew up on the ranch was Susan Williams. Susan married John Russel, a Capote, whose Spanish name was Marsalino, The Russels lived on the Weazel Skin Ranch and·had four daughters; Daisey, Maggie, Edna and Sara, Edna remembers going to Durango in a buggy to see the fair and for shopping. irwe liked to ride the street car from one end of Main to the other. Once my mother left a diaper bag on the car and we had to wait till it made a complete round before· we could retrieve it, 11 iWhen Edna was still a young girl, her family moved onto the Spanish Fork Ranch where Spring Creek enters the Pine River near La Boca, Edna went to school here for a few years, then was transfered to the Indian School at Santa Fe. Then she was sent to Sherman Institute at Riverside California to finish high School. There she met Indian students from all over the country. 11 We ·were given a choice of pre-vocational training at Sherman. I tried nurse I s training a.nd dry cleaning. I liked both of them and both have been useful since then. At first I didn't believe I'd like the nursing. A nurse sees so many sad and stomach-turning things, But, soon I began to see the other side of it. Sick and injured people are just people who need help and the .feeling you get from helping them is just great. 11 · Edna's years in California were great too. _ \, .. California in the 1920 1 s was a beautiful, uncrowded place with its clean air and tropical plants and mountains by the sea. From Riverside to Los Angelos were large open country areas, not all city like today. 11 We. went to Catalina Island and rode the glass bottom boat. We went to the amusement Park at Long Beach. I remember how I screamed when we rode the roller coaster out over the ocean. We went to Ti Juana to see the bull fights. The arena then was a beautiful log structure." When Edna finished her nurses training she worked at Dulce, then at Towaoc then at the Taylor Hospital in Ignac1o. Min.~le Cloud and I were some of the first one hired there. We cleaned and cleaned the building and made towels and baby clothes until it was opened. Soon afterward Edna married Cassimero Baker. They had two sons· Archie and Dusty. When the army started building up Ft. Carson Cassie and Edna moved to Colorado Springs and Cassie worked on construction projects on the base. During the War Edna was a welder in an airplane factory operated by Universal Electric at Colorado Springs. She enjoyed +he work very much. Finally~ she and her boys came back to Ignacio and she worked in the Taylor Hospital until it closed in 1955. · 11 Even when we moved back to Ignacio, I sent my boys to the public school because I wanted them to learn to get along with all kinds of people. 11 · After the Taylor Hospital closed Edna worked for hospitals in Denver and in Colorado Springs for a "while, th~n she re.turned to Durango where she •Worked at Mercy and Community Hospitals -until she retired. 11 I always liked my work in the hospitals. Such nice people to work with. It was a new world e~ry week·. We were always in training or going �to nurse's workshops and conventions and having dinners. I worked side by side with all kinds including foreign students and trainees. I really miss it. But I still have many friends in Durango and Colorado Springs --~ whom I visit whenever I can. 11 . .Archi-e worked harc¼nd went through training for ai.:to mechanics. He worked for several years in California and now lives in Durango. Dusty has had mechanics training and also training as an X-ray technician in the hospital. He was working in the Durango ~ospitals until ~he opportunity to apply a_s manager of the new Shell_ Station opened up. When he got the job, he and E~a moved back to Ignacio.• · After being gone so long it see□ s a little strange to be back in this area But Edna has quite a few relatives here and just as she has I!lade new iriends wherever sha has lived, she will surely be able to do the same here again. We wish her and her children the best of good fortune and wish to welcome her back to Ignacio. Shelby Smith Saving face: The four. year-old was fascinated with his grandfather's false teeth. After staring transfixed while they were re• moved, for brushing and replaced, he asked to have the process repeated. The obliging grandfather did it several times for the youngster, then asked, "Now what?" The child's eyes shifted momentarily and he said, "Take off your nose." . . ; ... ~,~ ... ... ~ ~,~ l•m at the age -now where au the phone numbers in my little blacli: book are of doctors.

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

It was there Paul Brake . and Hazel Gunderman became acquainted through their interest in music and dated and became good friends. Ithaca, in the finger lakes district of southern New York, is a very beautiful place. 11 It 1 s very much like here, only less rugged and has much more rain, 11 says Hazel. . When Hazel was born on August 30, 1901, her parents, Charles and Ethyl Gunderman, lived in Waverly, New York, about 4o miles south of Ithaca. Mr. Gunderman was employed by an aggressive company with a great future, the Bell Telephone Co. "Dad was a construction .foreman and a trouble man for 33 years. This job eventually took us to Ithaca. It was hard work without the machines used today. The telephone poles were raised by horses and the men had to pull the wires by ha~d. During the years he was trouble man, he was called out during storms · and in the middle of the night whenever service was interrupted. 11 School was quite demanding in those days. "We didn 1 t get any credit for just being there. Every year we had to pass the Regent's Exam or we would not be passed on to the next grade. Our home was heated by a coal stove. We had running water from the town's spring-fed reservoir, so pure it needed no filtration. We had no supermarkets. We bought milk and eggs at the creamery and our meat at the butcher's. The stores did have some canned goods, which was a h~lp, since the only fresh things available during Winter were cabbage, celery, t~~nips and plenty of apples. Bacon was 20¢ a pound and if butter go~ to 35¢ a pound, people thought it was too high to use. Refridgerating food was never a problem in winter. We always bad a cold room, but in summer every one used an ice box. Blocks or ice were delivered twice a week. Ice cutting on the river provided work for many men during winter." During the 1920 1 s Hazel taught music to many private students. This work was successful and enjoyable until the years of the depression. Suddenly people were too poor to pay for music lessons and.Hazel was out ot work. In 1932 Hazel and her mother went to Los Angeles for a visit and decided to stay, since there were more · jobs in California. av.er the next 30 years Hazel had a variety of jobs. "I took whatever was availableduring the depression. There was no unemployment compensation then. 11 In 1962 Hazel made a trip back to Ithaca. While visiting Miss Holmes, one of her old teachers at the conservatory, she learned that Paul Brake, whom she had not seen for over 30 years, was teaching school in Salida, Colora~o. When she returned home, Hazel wrote to Paul and the friendship which had begun so long ago resumed. They met in Las Vegas, Nevada, over Christmas vacation of {962 and were married. Paul returned to Salida to finish the school year. The next summer he joined Hazel in Los Angeles. The Brakes came to Ignacio and Durango for a vacation in the summer or 1964. This was not Paul's first trip to this area. He had taught music in the Ute Vocational School 6 years from 1946-53. Of all the bands he taught in various schools across the country 1 Mr. Brake says he got the most satisfaction from his bands at the Indian school. Primarily,, Mr. Brake says, "Because the Indian children are very talented, musically." ) ) �. ~Paul had good memories of Ignacio and Hazel took an immediate llking for the area . After a little searching, they· located a house to buy, then returned to Los Angeles,since Hazel needed to -work only a few more moaths to reach retirement age. She had no regrets about ~ leaving Los Angeles. . "Los Angeles offers many cultural advantages, such as the- Hollywood Bowl, the museums, and the symphony, but I never really liked it there very well. It is damp and fog 6 y much of the time. Then the town began to grow until all the autos made the air almost unbreatheable. '' Pulling up stakes to move to Los Angeles and then on to Ignacio 1s part -of the pattern of Paul Brake's life. His career in music has .taken. him to more places in the country than most people have heard of. Paul's father, Charles Hobart Brake was a school teacher. educated in Canada. Later he bought a Business College in Norfolk, Nebraska. Paul was born there on December 14, 1897. After selling the college , Charles farmed in Nebraska and then decided to go back to Nev York. Not long afterward, Paul began to demonstnate the beginnings of the musical talent which would dominate his life. Paul had been forbidden to 11 bother 11 his father's clarinet, but wnen he was alone in the house Paul experimented with it until he could play a tune. When his father caught him, )le . de_c ided 1 t was not mischief b1:1t po~ential . talent showing up. So Paul got lessons. - Then he was sent to the conservatory where he met Hazel. His first jobs were providing theme music at the theatres in Ithaca. Then he went on the road with the band in Ve.n Arnum's Circus and became fascinated with the traveling life. Over . the next 20 years he traveled the country with a marvPl n11s variety of circuses road shows and melodl"a~s. Paul worked one season on a living legend, ihe Cotton Blossom Show Boat. "We played the tm,ms up and down the Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, one play going down and anoth~r coming back up the river. We did Little Shepherd .Qf. J5:j.n_gdom .Qpme and )1n;wanted .Q..hild. The band provided incidental !]iUSic. · ~or the plays. · When the boat stopped near Hannibal, Missouri, I asked an old timer whether he had kno'1m Mark T,-rain. He said yes; he had lmown him and that Mark was a pretty good man, but an awfUl liar. 11 The show boat was a theater built on a barge. It would seat 500. "Most of the time we stopped at townsi but occasionally we'd tie up at lonely little docks in farm country. ~hat night we 'd see the people walking through the woods with their lanterns and rowini; down the river in their skiffs . People in those areas were hungry for eatertainment and it was surprizing what a crowd we'd pull out of seemingly empty country • . Seats cost 35¢-75¢. There we~e 10 in the cast, 12 in the band and a crew of 3 operated the stern-wheeler steam boat which manuevered the barge.~ Paul played tuba for the Youngstown, Ohio, Symphony for several yearsi then went back on the road with the Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bai ey Circus. Other years he taught band in schools in Ohio, Texas and Colorado. . The Brake's time in Colorado has been retirement in the best sense of the word. Now that there ·is time, tney have· both worked to developfurther their talents and interests. · Hazel_ has taught piano to many youngste:rs and_ sp~nds hou~s oil painting. Paw fishes in .t he Pine River when he takes a notion, t.eaches violin and comnoses music • . His latest creation, a symphonic composition of four suites for band was conducted by ~ • . Brake at the Ft • .Lewis Band Concert last December. Our senior citizens are people with abiliti~s and interests as varied and as valuv able ss those o~ any other age group. The Brakes are adequate- evidence of this. · We send both or them our best wishes for good health and for many years to work and create and contribute to their community. by Shelby Smith �WP;i,gQ~ TO OUR .JANUARY SOCIAL Date Where When HOW 301 1976 .••• January Community center 12:00 noon Pot Luck Rural Areas near and northwest of Ignacio--Please bring main dishes.

Belle Hancock William, one of seven chiidren of Price William and Maria Capote William, was born in the Florida Valley of La Plata County, ~, Colorado, on January 1 2 , 1 906. · J 11 My parents owned a frame house in the valley ~ust so:uth or where the narrow gauge railroad crossed the Florida River. (1½ miles south of where the present U.S. 160 crosses the river.) The valley was not cleared for bay fields then. It was full of sage brush. There were huge clumps, some 5 feet tall and so thick we used it for firewood. My parents could hunt and fish and gather wild food, but my father wanted better things for his family. He decided he would have a better chance for jobs if he could speak English, so after he was married, he went to Ft. Lewis to learn English. When he came home, he brought a Navajo boy named Jake who was in trouble with the Ft. Lewis people. · Jake stayed with us a long time and helped with the work. My father got a job at a lumber mill. He drove a team to drag logs. He had his own horses and mules and donkeys. He cut wild timothy down by _the river and in the hollows watered by the springs coming out of the Florida MAsa. Our nearest neighbors were a Mormon family. They loaned my father their mowing machine and then he would share the hay. · Every summer and rall my parents sent me out to pick blue berries, chokecherries, buffalo berries and Indian bananas(the fruit of the soap weed). The Indian bananas were my favorite. When the stalk gets dry and the pods hang down their heads in the fall, they are ready to pick. They are as sweet as apricots. I've been ·back to the places where we used to pick them, but the deer and elk always get them first. We also picked. wild onions and wild spinach. Sometimes my parents bought a bitter plant from the Mexicans for. medicine." · After a few years, Belle's parents moved over to her grandparent's· ) farm 3½ miles north of La Posta in the Animas Valley. Belle soon learned all about mjlking goats and herding sheep. "Most c:f the milk we made into keso (cheese). It's a simple thing. You boil the milk. Squeeze the juice from the Soap Weed into the milk and boil it some more. Let it cool. Then put the milk in a cloth and let all the water drip out. the keso we made was something like cottage cheese. 11 Belle was finally s~nt to the Indian School at Ignacio. She well remembers the big sign there which said, "Don't talk Indian, 11 but even so Belle mostly enjoyed the school. . · "It was more fun then milking gosts and herding sheepl 11 Belle was about 14 when her mother died. n1 stayed with my grandparents for a while. Then I got a job at La Posta working for the Candelario Vigil family who owned the store and dance hall there. I cleaned, carried water and helped with the cooking. I lived with that family two years and t h~y treated me very well. In 1922 Superintendent McKeen sent me to school at Towaoc. In the summers I didn't have any place to go so I got a job working at the Wrightsman Hotel in Mancos. Ellen Wa"tts and I both worked there two summers. We washed dishes, ironed table cloths, picked berries and cherries and currents and made them into ice cream and pies. Near the end of the second summer Ellen and I heard about the Spanish Fiesta in Durango. Our jobs were about to end at the hotel, so we took the train to Durango to watch the games and the races. When we found the Indian camp, we located Daisey Eagle, Ellen's sister. She took us home with her to Spring Creek. 11 ... �Belle attended the Haskell Institute in Kansas until she was 18. ~ When ·she came back to Colorado, she worked .for the hotel at Mancos again. Ellen Watts got married and it wasn 1 t long till Belle had married Curtis I -~\ · Cutth.air• , .· , , . , 1 met Curtis in Mancos. We had known one another several years. Finally, one summer Curtis came to see me and-said,, "I don't have any ·family of my own. I'd like to settle down and have a family to belong to. 11 Curtis had been to trade school. He got a job operating the steam heating system at the Agency in Ignacio. In his spare time he farmed his place north of Ignacio where the family home is located. Belle and Curtis had seven children, Richard, Garnet, Christine, Larry Vera, Laverne and Darlene. burtis later quit the Agency so that he could clear and plow the Oxford tract and spend more time on the farm. He died in 1965. Curtis probably never dreamed his ·wife would become a movie star, but that happened last year. Belle was selected to be in the cast of the movie "Winterhawk11 • She and Thelma Kuebler appeared in mountain -scenes in their native dress. Belle enjoyed her part in the movie very much. Whether they knew it or not, when the casting crew chose Belle, they chose some one ~Tith authentic ties with and memories of the tribal history of this area. Belle says, 11My grand.mother was a half-sister to Ouray. · My grandparents moved around with Ouray and fought the Commanches with him over the salt in the San Luis Valley. They chased the Commanches all the way to Antonito once and killed a lot of them. At one ttme there were Indian trails all th:rough the mountains. My grandparents traveled them, hunting and fishing during the warm time and in the winter they settled in the valleys. I might know more about the old days, but when I was a When I , child, it was not proper for children to ask many questions. )wanted to know something, my mother would often say~ 1 Don 1 t ask questions. Mind your own business. You are too young to know!' Belle's memories of her own time are very strong. 11 1 can remember our home in the sage brush in the Florida Valley. I remember learning the worship dance from Tom Nevrton's mother and the oldest memory I have as a little child is the time - I must have been about three - when I was wrapped in a blanket and tied on my aunt's back a.Tld she was dancing and dancing and dancing. I can't forge~ things like that." ' 11 by Shelby Smith �BI- CENTENNIAL SOCIAL IN MARCH f the first Bi-Centennial our March 26 Senior Social W!-1 ~~~-irboles communities.
