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.
