He goes for walks with the boys and they talk about fishing and tractor and like that. Grandmothers don't have anything to do but be there. They're old s o they shoul dn 't pl ay hard or run, It i s enough .if. they drive you to t he market where t he pr etend horse is and have lots of di nner ready or. if they take you for walks they should slow down past things like pretty leaves or caterpillars. They should never say 11 hurry up". Usually they are fat, but not too fat to tie kid's shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear and they can take their teeth and gums off. It is better if they don't typewrite or play cards except With us. They don •t have to be smart, only answer questions like 11 why dogs hate cats and how come.God isn't married 11 • They don't talk baby-t'alk like visitors do because it is hard to understand. · When they read to u·s they don I t skip pages or mind if it is the same story again. .

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

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

Maria Benedita was the first or six children and the only girl. Two years later Benedita's father heard of good land and new opportunities across the line in Colorado, so he moved his family to a farm near La Boca. They stayed there for a year, then rented the Joe Velasquez ranch 7 miles .south of Ignacio near Martin Hayes place. The first son born in the family was Manuel, then Julian, Eustavio, -Benino and Alfredo. Leandro had goats, chickens, pigs, and sheep as well as horses for work and transportation. As the boys grew up they gave plenty of help with the irrigating and harvesting on the farm. · Benedita am her mother took care of the garden and the cooking, weaving and sewing. Candelaria raised her own chili and other produce. "She dried everything," Benedita recalls, "and without refr1dgerat1on or freezers that was the best and cheapest way to preserve food·. · After a few years Dad bought the farm from Joe. We had an adobe house with two front rooms, two bedrooms and a kitchen. We carried water from t.he river until Dad dug a well near the house. n To earn extra money Leandro worked part time for l..rthur Jones who lived over near Spring Creek. · "I remember when I learned to make tortillas. I was so small I bad to stand on a bench to reach the table top. I, also, remember the ·gQod smells or food at Christmas. That was a happy time in the old days, even though we never had store-bought toys. My father would carve dolls and baby chairs and wooden dishes. Winter was nice because ot the sled. It was so much fun, so smooth and quiet to ride on the sled. That was the best way to travel in those days. 11 · Benedita went to first grade at the agency, but thereafter she vent to school at the arroyo, (over the hill and below the present locker plant slaughter house. Fabian Martinez had built a tavern, dance ball, ca.re, rooming house etc. along the railroad tracks one mile vest or Ignacio. Benedita liked the arroyo school better because the teacher could explain things in Spanish, if necessary. In 1910 the Luceros moved to a place on the hill west of Ignacio, then they bought a place in Ignacio in 1911 (the same house where the La Febres now live). That was the year of' the f1ood • . Every one who was at least 5 years old in 1911 remembers the flood. It rained tar a week. All the people in the valley got flooded out. "We bad to go through deep water 1n a wagon to get my grandmother out o~ her house. Many people spent 2-3 days in their attics. Others were lost 1 _especially- down along the San Juan." Benecuta married Chrestino Casias on January?, 1915, when she was seventeen. They were married 1n Ignacio and traveled to and from the church on a sled. "Chrestino and his parents were our neighbors south of Ignacio for a long time. He was a nice boy. I had known him f'or a long time and always liked him. In those days there was a dance 1n Ignacio everySaturday. That was about our only entertainment. We often went to the dances together and knew one another vell when we got married. For a year we lived with my parents, then got our own place west of Ignacio near the Pine River Switch (not far from Joe Chavez}. We raised garden, vheat, corn and hay. Most of our shopping was done 1n Bayfield because ~ ' i I �3) -I prices we:re cheaper there than in Ignacio.,: A time of great sadness came to the Lucero family in 1918e Bene,,.- , di ta' s mother was one of the . thousands in this nation who died of the swine flu that year. Two years later Leandro married Marie Chavez. They had one daughter, Elisa, (now Mrs. Bennie Herrera). Chrestino and Bennedito had 5 children: Ray, Ophelia(Mestas), Helen (Cruz), Lloyd and Chrestino,Jr. In 1925 Cbrestino went to Utah for 2 years to work in the mines. He earned good money, saved it, and in 1927 had enough to buy his first car, a new Chevrolet. The Casias bought a place on the hill west of Ignacio.soon afterward. "We bought the land from Arthur Smith, who at that time lived over near Jerry Young 1 s place. We enjoyed our life here. Our kids were good kids. I guess about the only time we oi;rerworked them, _at least some of them think so, was in carrying water. For a long time the kids had to bring water from the spring down the hill. Some of them used to say they were going to become hunch-backed from all that carrying, but they didn I t . II Chrestino died Febr12ary 16, 1974. For years he had played -t.he guitar and vioJ.in well and was · frequently asked to play ' :f"or parties and dances. He will be remembered a long t ime -~or this_ ability. Benedita still lives at home • Occasionally, she visits her children in Utah and California, but mostly she stays home and spends a little time each day remembering both the good and the bad times of the days long ago. Best wishes to her fol' many more years of' happiness and good memories.

() ~ ~-----) :, ,; �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 ... �\. - . .

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

MARIA RIVERA Maria-, the fifth of Antonio and J"osefa Abeyta' s nine children, was ,') born into an orderly and hard-working world, Her family were sheephe~ders in the country near Tierra Amarilla, N.M. "Most of us in that time weren 1 t too poor and sure weren 1 t rich. We lived in a post house. Cedar posts were set in rows like a stockade, then plastered inside and out. The roof was posts and sticks covered with · earth. It leaked and was a mess whenever there was a heavy rain until we could afford to put tin over it, I haven't been back there for a long time, but we hear the house is still there and still being used. 11 When Maria was about three years old, her parents moved to a d~y land farm near Cabresto (up Frances Creek east of present day Navajo Dam). Antonio built another post house and dug a well. He hit a good stream of water at 18 feet. The Abeytas raised dry land crops fairly successfully, but the garden needed watering and the well was the only source. Maria r emembers hauling bucket after bucket to the garden. Two of Maria's sisters went to live with their grandmother at La Puente about three miles f~om Tierra Amarilla. Grmd.mother's house was a large frame house with five bedrooms. Maria recalls, "The fifth bedroom was just for guests and was ne-ver touched unless a guest was in the house. She had a large wood-burning cookstove, a fire place and a heating stove. No coal was available, so someone had to chop a lot of wood. 11 · Since there was no school at Cabresto, Antonio bought a farm near Rosa. It was much easier to raise profitable crops on the irrigated land and possible to send the children to school. However, Maria seldom got to attend school more than l+-5 months per year. T1,ro o.f her older sisters had died. Si...."lce the other two were living with their grandmother, ) and Josefa had become ill, Maria became the cook, laundress and food preserver for the family. Maria says, "People talk about how bad kids are today8 I don't believe they are nearly as naughty as they were when I was a child, Once when I was a child a group of boys in our room tried to set the teacher on fire. The teacher was an old man and not too observant. ·The boys began slipping matches under his coat collar with the match heads protruding in a row. One of the boys behind him struck a match and was about to set the fire when rme of the students yelled and grabbed the lighted match. Otherwise the resulting fire would probably have burned all the remaining hair off his nearly bald head. 11 11 Every winter our cellar was full of beans, peas• chi cos, cheese and piles of pumpkins. Then we had eggs,milk a..~d butter coming all the time. We always had enough. Everyone who put out the effort to grow a garden had enough in those days. I think the climate is colder now. It's hard to get things .to mature." 11 In warm weather all of us children were outside playing or working all the time, but in cold_ months .there was less to do. That 1 s when abuelo and abuela (grandpa and grandma) told us stories and tall tales around the fireplace. I wish I could remember the stories they told, but I can't. For public ente~tainment there were only a few events· each year. On the 4th of July there were races and a rodeo but no fireworks. One year some one brought a Ferris Wheel. Nothing else; just a Ferris Wheel. It cost 5¢ to :ride. I ate ic·e cream and drank lemonade and rode the Ferris Wheel so many times I got. sick and had to go lie down at my aunt's house. Then there were the maromas . The last maromas I remember was in Ignacio in the 1950 1 s. Tm maromas was a group of people who made music, danced and sang and told jokes and stories •• The whole community came when �the maromas were in town.rr When Maria was 25 she married Henry Rivera. She won 1 t .tell how many boyfriends she had before ~he met Henry. His family had migrated to Rosa r,,------.._,__ from Cimmaron and Manero·. Henry had worked in the mines at Silverton 1 and on the railroad. The Riveras stayed at Rosa until 1949 when they bought a farm near Allison. Their 10 children are : Cecilia, Bennie, Mary, Gilbert, Pete, Fred, An..~a Marie Orlando, Agnes and Richard. Cecilia and Mary are deceased. In adJition to the children Maria has 23 grand children. · . In 1956 Maria moved to Ignacio. She bas worked at various jobs since then. The children are scattered all over the country, and becau·se of this Maria has got to do something she never thought possible. 11 I Have traveled all over this country. · I nev·e r thought I'd do that. The way I · was raised people stayed home. They didn't expect to go anywhe~e and they couldn't ·with their livestock and crops and gardens. - But I 1 ve been to Los Angelos, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York to see my children, of course. I'd rather ride a burro than these little Planes that come . to Durango, but once I get to Denver the ·big planes are ·nice. 11 Shelby Smith WELCOME TO OUR AUGUST SOCIAL DATE: WHERE: WHEN : HOW August 27, 1976- Ute Park : ) 12:00 noon Pot Luck Allison-Arboles Town of Ignacio Rural areas NW & near Ignacio - Please bring desserts Please bring vegetables and salads Please bring main dishes Happy Birthday Feliz Cumpleanos John Chavez Emett Evans James Baker Joe Zaida - Sally Capell Nelson Mackey Euterpe Taylor Hazel Brake Jim Fisher Marion Worford Martha Archuleta Get Well Soon Sanen Prontol Bonnie Baker Jose Quintana Ruth Snook Roy Groves Lulu Watts Agnes Mann Erdman Tobias Raymond Frost Emily Taylor Frances Riggins Sam Evensen Annette Herrera Vi-.,ran Richmond Lizabeth Aleza.ndra Frances Buck �A baby shower honoring Rosemary Martin Redd was given by Phyllis Gallegos and Patty ¥,ickey Sunday af'ternoon, August eight in the Presbyterian Church annex. · ~rrs.

He also had sheep and goats which he butchered as needed. ;.'hen I got old enough I here.ed the sheen in the hills. Grancmother al,;-;ays ta..'111ed the goatskins. She had a simple way. She rubbed the inside of the skin •with brains, let it ci.ry, rubbed it ·with brains and re-neated this till the li...ide was cured. The skins had many uses. One of- which was to 2ake leggings for us in uint~;r. Sometimes cy sisters and I used the goa t skins for a sled in sno·wy 1-rea-c~'ler. We cli.tlbed the hills with the skin and nut it hair dom1 on the snm'f. One sat in front holding the front legs of the skin and the other sat in back holding the back legs. It would go fast. Once my Uncle Fritz bought me a dollwith a china head. \·!hen my grandnother sa.""'.:T hm·T TIUch I liked it, she made me an Indian c:radle for it fro::n a board, sor.2e buckskin, willmrs and beads. I think we always had plenty to eat. The hills ·were full of food. Every sunner and .fall we picked ,-:rild strawberries, chokecherries, berries and banana · berries'i'.' until 1·1e had all we could eat and all we could dry fol" winter. The banana berries were ~y favorite. After they were dried, ,,re 1-:ould boil them and they nade a sweet syrup 1•:rithout adding a._r-1y sugar.

One such f~mily is that of James Morris who was born in Ocosoley County Kentucky in 1870 and died in California in 1955. James married Laura Kate Waggoner in Arkansas in 1893. While they lived at Berryville, their son Louie was porn on November 18, 1900. From there they moved to -Eureka Springs, Ar kansas for a while and then went to McCloud, Okla. to grow cotton. In 1908 J ames loaded his family and possessions in a covered wagon and headed for House , New Mexico, which is about 45 miles south of Tucumcari. The Morrises bought a claim and opened a general store handling grpceries, dry goods, hardware, kerosene, etc. staying there five years. James might have stayed at House but he kept remembering stories about the San Juan Mountains the Waggoners had told. Laura's father and one of her uncles had spent a year tr~pping furs in.the mountins north of Durango years before. After 5 years at House, James sold out and loaded the covered wagon. By that time Louie was 12or 13 years old. According to his memories travel by covered wagon was not bad. 11 0ur wagon was pulled by two mules which could cover about 40 m.iles per day if the roads were good. We carried barrels of water, bacon, flour, beans, potatos, coffee and a few canned goods. Dad built a bed in the back of the wagon and a cupboard on the rear.· The door of the cupboard . came down.on hinges to form a table top. The stretch of road from Albuquerque to Cuba was hard because of all tl1e sand. My brother and I followed in our buggy. The trip to Tiffany took ahout two weeks. 11 The Morrises operated a ranch for Limebargers for one summer, loaded up their wagon and headed back to Arkansas. James retraced his steps back to House and sent on to Amarillo. That night when the family was parked in the wagon yard, James walked up and said, "Pack up. We 1 re going the rest of the way on the train." James had sold the wagon and team to another man. The family was in Arkansas a short time, then back to Oklahoma City where James corresponded with Mr. Fierman and Mr, Dalton, the owners of ·the Allison store. In 1911+ The Morrises bought the store at Allison. and settled there for three years. Louie recalls, 11 Children in school were mischievous then as well as now. I remember the time one or the boys put a bottle of ink on the pot belly stove. Pretty soon it blew up and splattered ink all over the ceiling. But as a rule we weren't any better or any worse than children a.re today." About 1915 or 1916 the farmers around Allison decided to incorporate and start their own telephone company. Every body who wanted a phone bought stock in the company. The Shanks family were the opera.tors. Of course it was a:11 partyline. Everyone had a different ring, two longs and a short, long short long, etc. Everybody heard the rings and everybody listened in. The more who listened in, the dimmer the sound became~ If a child wanted to be mischievous or if someone was talking too long you could place the ear piece over the mouth piece and it would make a horrible noise whick would quickly clear the line. · There were many traveling salesmen in those days (the people called them drummers, a name the salesmen hated). Since there was no cafe in Allison, Laura provided a place for the salesmen to eat. In 1918 we sold. the Allison store-and moved to Twin Falls, IQaho, for one summer and then on to Portland Oregon. 'The M:orrises were· in Portland when the great flu epidemic everyone has heard so much about struck the country. Louie was working at a cooperage at the ·time. ·j �3) '.11 got ~>• 50 per day for checking the barrel heads after· they ·were sawed to make ·certain the beveled edge was smooth and without flaws. I rode the street car to work. During the ·worst of the flu epidemic the conductor· woule only let a .few people on at a time. We stayed in Port1.a.nd through one winter, then returned t o .Allison to· buy a fe.rm from Scoggins (Now· the place belongs to Harry Engler). 11 . It vas a big event in 1 919 when .James bought his fi:rst car, a 4- door Chevrolet, an open car with ~i canvas roof and. side· curtains which were kept rolled up u~der the seats until needed. The Morrises enjoyed their car, but not when it was muddy. There was no gravel on the roads in those days. In 1920 Louie started dating Irene Young. I1~ene I s parents~ Archie and.. Nancy Young w~re farmers at HcClave, Colorado, 20 Lliles west of Lamar, before t he"y moved to S.1.1!. Coloradoc Their i:r.'}.'igated farm pro~• duced alfal fa a.nd gr·ains. In 1913 when Irene was ten, her :oarent.'.'l sold their farm and moved to a place just across the New Mexico l ine south of Allison. Hr. Young butlt a nlce tw·o story hou,-rn (The one he built vas moved to Colorado before Ffavaj o Lake i•ras filled. It is now· the Rc·"bert Cox hcjnenear Tiff a.ny.) The Youngs stayed in Hew 1fe:x:ico ·t-wo years then traded thei:r- farm -for one nearer Allison •. In 1920? I:.eenc quit schocl when her mother d:i.ed. in order to take c2..re of ·her little sister 5 · Oliva~ 'i'ragedy struck the fa~ily again in 1922. Oliva contracted d.ipJ·J.the::•i2. and diod. · · · Loutn and Ir~me were married Oct . 29, 1922.

He is the oldest son of Silvano. c1..nd Tomasita Lucero. There were five other children, two sisters, ~osephina and Macedonia, and three brothers, Silvano, Rubel and Benito. Joe be:i'.ng the oldest son helped his father on their 640 acre ranch. They had dry land on the mesa and a section on the river bottom. Part was used for crops and part for running cattle and sheep. Most of the time Joe was needed on the farm at home. Occasionally, he hired out to Walter Rey for hoeing beans and other farm jobs up near Allison. 1 Joe decided before he got too old, he better get himself a wife . 1 There was a girl back home in Martin Plaza, N. M. who:n he had known when / __, he was a boy. Joe a.nd Susana Martinez were neighbors. t:fuen Joe we:i;it home' Susana was· 14. They courted for two years, then decided when Susana ,;,ras 16 it was time to get married. Joe wanted a young wife, not a old one. They , married in Los Martinez N.M. and stayed at his father's ranch. Four of their seven children were born there: Irene, Fred, Mary Delice and Raymond. Joe and Susana brought their.children by horse and wagon to Horner, Colo-;;, south of Allison and leased 80 acres. While there Mary Lou, Benstina and. Susie were born. Six of the children are still alive. Five are in the Ignacio area and one in Chicago. Raymond was in the Air Force and died in• Denver in 1957. Joe worked his own ranch and hired out to others in the area·. He worked for .Toe Shank for three summers, for Barney Leone for 9 summers. The family did ,most of -its shopping in Rosa, Joe 1 s la_st years of ranching were with Vernon Young, then with !1ike Faverino. When Susana ) died in 1967, they had been married 41 years. . Joe and his daughter Suzie took a trip to Chicago to visit his dau·ghter ~..ary Lou. They spent about a month sight-seeing. On Dec. 12, 1974 Jos took another trip to Chicago. This trip wasn't too pleasant, for Joe had suffered a heart attack and spent 27 days in the hospital. In March 1975 Joe bought a trailer and moved it to Ignacio where he co11ld be closer to his children. Joe's father is still living, a spry 90 years of age. He was still farming up to five years ago when he sold an 80 acre ranch at Oxford. Silvano now lives with his daughter Josephina in Gem Village6 Joe at 68 is still helping his neighb~rs farm. He's over at Tom Gallegos today separating cows.

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

Most. everythi.pg we needed was close and the area had good public transportation, too. The to~m had a st1·eetcar ·which all the children loved to ride. We co11ld go all the way up to .Animas Cityj almost as far as the present location of the Silver Spur Restaurant, for picnics at Animas Park. This was up the hiJ.J.. among the trees and rocks with a good view across the valley. Sometimes, on the 4th of July and on other occasions we went to Brookside Park lo.cated o;n Main where the Chamber of Commerce O.ffice is now. l'here were s,lings and slides and the creek where the children could play~ If anyone wanted t-o go to Silvc~ton or Telluride or Ignacio, they could ride the train ub ich was without question the fastest and most comfortab.le way to travel . .

Both of Margaret I s · parents were i r;:-c-:-;j g:ran ts j_nto this part. of the couutry. Thomas was horn in Wisconsin, His parents were named Dibley. When both of them died, he was adopted by the Bm11.nan :family. Boys cannot stay a·way from exciting events. This was true of Thomas when the Ci7il War started .. He just b!J.d to go, and· ho ha_d to practice a l ittle deception to join the Union Ar:rry at the age of 16. Of course, Thomas had been taught never to 1:te. .B:~i'ore go:tng to the induction center he wrote the number 17 on a :p:tece of paper and placed the paper in his shoe so that he could s-.1ear in. good c ons.cience that he was over 17. .After re turning from the •CiviJ. Was, Thomas e~tered Madison University where he stayed until he acquired. a Pb..n degree in science. In the 187O 1 s and 188O's opportunities were wide open in every direction of this developing country~ Thomas chose to co~e to Colorado to work as a metalurgist. First te came to Silverton prospectj_ng on his o"tim and working for the mines. Later, he moved dmm to Animas City at."1.d went to work for the smelter. In 1887 Thomas noticed a new girl in tm·m. Etta Louisa Summe1·s ctune to Durango from Ohio to escape the damp climate of the east. She stayed with her sister, the ·wife of· the Rev. James Coffman, who established thG first Heth~dist Church in Durango. Etta t aught school in Durango for one yea.r. After Thonas and Etta were merried, Tom continued working at the smelter for a number of years. Before Margaret was boxn they decided to open a book and stationery store on main street. TlD T.E. Bowman Boo!-r and Statione1·y Store w2.s located right next to Pennys. The busin8ss was operated until Th omas di Bd in 1923. Durango is full of new busin~sses "id th n ew naJI1.e s, bu t a n imber of' the old ones are still there.

Margaret had krnnm Lawrence Wisel'1..an since 8th grade •.They were casna.l friends at school and in the yeaI's f'ollowing she saw La1•ll"ence now and then ,--- --- on the street. · After f~nishing school Margaret attended business college \..".·· in Greeley. Once while she was home· Sam Gilcrest called to ask her to · go on a blind date. To her su.rprize the blind date uas Lawrence Wiseman. From then on there ·was no o~e else. Margaret was- offered .a job at Pueblo, but Lm~Tence changed her mind. They were m!lrrled in 1927. Lal'r.i."ence ·was working at Durango F...ardware for several years until it went backrupt during the depression. After that he worked at wha.tever he •· could find. Suddenly, a totally unexpected opportunity .a ppeared. Hr. Biggs who 01med i3iggs H4rdware in Ignacio asked Lawrence to_ run the bus:tness for him. Lawrence didn't ki.'1ow ho11 to figure a ·ooard foot, but was delighted for the opportunity. He rented a room in Ignacio and rode the train back and forth from Durango on week-ends. In 1932 Margaret and he1~ mother moved to Ignacio so Lawrence could stop the commuting. At first they rented the house where Hotts now live and later moved across the street. During the depression years Lawrence sold hay and grain which he had taken in as payments on bills • .Af'ter living all her lj_fe in a larger tm-m Margaret was uncertain how· she would like living · in Ignacio. However, after a few weeks here, Margaret decided she was very ha.ppy wi. th her new home. Today she says she would.."l 't ·want to live any other :place. In 1950 Lai',Tence bought out Mr. Biggs and changed the name of the store. 11 Li.fe i.n -Ig~1aeio ·was -d:iffer en-t ,- of c ourse, -i n- t he e-arly:..--yeaFs-.· -- W€ -ha d to go to bed at 10:00 P .

They laughed like they didn't believe it and decided to stay. Sure enough when 10:00 r:_:.:. _o I c~ock came everything went black and our friends had a time of it finding ~ thci~ coc:.ts and ha ts • 11 11La-wrence and I liked to travel. In fact that was . our favorite passtim.e .. We to;)k t rips all over this country-and a few overseas to Hawaii and Jamaica 11 and Bermuda. Once we ,;-.rent to New York City to see the musicals. My Fair r...ady11vas going strong when ve were t here. Our favorite kind of trip was simply to go to the airport and buy the first tuo tickets available wherever it was. Going like this we never lmew ,-1here we would find ourselves, but we found some of the most interesting places. Arriving without reservations was uncer·tain, b"J.t we always had good luck. 11 Lawrence enjoyed his work and especially enjoyed the people in Ignacio. After he sold the store to Tom, Lawrence continued to work for him·part of tb.-e time. However, it also gave the Wisema11 1 s more free time to travel or follow•other passtimes. Lawrence died sudd~nly in February of 1976. The people of this area miss him very much f or his friendli ness and good s pirit. And, of course, Margaret misses h im , but she is for tun?te because all her memories of Lawrence are good ones. We wish Margaret and her family many years of happiness and good health.
