K~~gar et .S:a:u.11crs Bowm~n was born in Dur ango, Colorado , December 8, 1905, the t hir d · child of Thomas and Etta Bowman. The Bm•nna.ns lived at 760 3rd · Ave nue. Uarga.re t has wonderful memor i es of this h ous-e, since · she lived there until she was married. Just do1m the street across fro~ Smiley Jr. High was the school.· All twelve grades were in· the one building until the high school was built.· ·1,farga:ret' s older brother, Bi11 was out _of school and Lona, her only sister was. in 12th grade when Margr;.ret · started first grade. 11 We didn't keep our olr.r.l horses and buggy. 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 . . Whenever Dad- 11eedeq. private transportation, he would hire a "ha.ck 11 from orie of th~J livery stables. This included a driver and made a good impression oh visito:rs arriving on the train. . " · · · · ~ _ Our f amily_,.-ras .greatly irm.olved-in church. · On· Sund~y mornings ·we · attended Sunday SchooJ_ an<i Church. On 2-..:nda.y evening we went to Christian Endeaver. Then on Wednesday e~ening was Prayer meeting. On Sundays there· w-as no playing, no sl1ows or other entertainment. We read our Sunday Sch0ol Lesson 01.· did something quiet. Occassiona.lly, . Pad took us to the / Vienna Restaurant after church and once in a vhile he would take me for a , ~ walk. Otherwise, Sundays were quiet arid rather unexciting." · .. 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. ( Among t hem a re the Strater, Graden s, Parson's Drug, Richey's and TaylorRaymond Jewellers . The New Yor k Bakery 'ims Purrung' s Bakei-y a.."1.d the General \ - J �Pal.mer was the Savoy· Hotel. 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 . H. because t he l ights went off. I remeinber once we had a ·g roup of friends f rom Durango for a supp er :party, We told. t hem they . would have to leave before 10:00 because the l ights go out. 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.
