~ l9J7&#13;
&#13;
Loni.sa's father was a Shaffer; her mother W"as a Kinsloe whose line&#13;
can be traced back to 11 77. Lucy Kinsloe ~&amp;s born in Kncxville, Tenn. 1n&#13;
1856. Her father, John Bannister Gibson Kinsloe was a newspaper publisher&#13;
in Knoxville who later moved to Lockhaven, Pennsylvania where he published&#13;
the Lockhaven Review and the Clinton Republic. At Carlisle College in Pennsylvania Lucy net Duncan Sh.af fer. ~fnen they were married, Lucy and Duncan&#13;
moved to Frostburg, Maryland, where the Shaffer's had a well established&#13;
business.&#13;
Frostburg is a small town(smaller than Durango) located in the&#13;
narrow segment of western Haryland between Pennsylvania and West Virginia.&#13;
This is Allegheny }fountain Country rich in the history of the Revolution&#13;
and of the Civil War.&#13;
11&#13;
Everyplace you go is either up or down," Louisa says.&#13;
Since the □ountains there are rich in bituminous coal, □ining was the&#13;
chief industry when Louis.a 1 s parents setteledin Frostburg. The quality of&#13;
the coal was such that it was prized by the shipping lines for their coal&#13;
burning vessels.&#13;
11&#13;
The whole area is underlain with a network of mine tunnels, n Louisa&#13;
explains. 11 However, the town its elf was clean and neat. All the mining&#13;
work~ were located out away from the town. My father and. his brothers&#13;
jointly om1ed the H.B. Shaffer Co. They sold dry goods, groceries, harne~s&#13;
millinery and household supplies. The business also had an area for ,grain&#13;
~ storage, a ~111 a~d a carriage house.&#13;
I ~emember the time years later.when&#13;
the old Opera House burned. It was just across the street from our business&#13;
and was such a hot fire, My Dae and uncles poured water on the roof of our&#13;
place until the danger was past. 11&#13;
11&#13;
Hy parents c·wned one of the historic old houses in town. It had a&#13;
large front porch with pillars and seven bedrooms, but no modern conveniences - no bath,electricity, or gas. However, we had one convenience few&#13;
people can afford anyi!jore ... hired help. Enzie Garletz :naintained the house.&#13;
She cleaned, did washi~g and ironing and most of the cooking. Jim Wilhelm&#13;
was tbe b.andyrnan. He maintained the yard, brought in fuel and supplies, did&#13;
Tepairs and took care cf the horses and the buggies. Aunty Powell was the&#13;
midwife who helped bring Ge into the world. On occasio~s she took care of&#13;
us children when my parents were away. ¥:nen my brothers Henry and Francis&#13;
and I were still small children, we had a goat which could pull a little&#13;
red cart with a red harness. Once in a while Jim wouli l:itch up the goat&#13;
and away we would go down the alleys. I don't believe we were ever allowed&#13;
on the streets with this anir:ial. 11&#13;
11&#13;
My parents were very strict and quite old fashioned. I was never·&#13;
allowed to go to carnivals or Saturday night dances. I was never allowed to&#13;
work&#13;
in the store. Young ladies didn't do things like that. Being a&#13;
11&#13;
lady"&#13;
in that time and in that part of the country involved a whole list&#13;
11&#13;
of does 11 and 1idon 1 ts 11 which mght seel:!:! ridiculous to most people today.&#13;
Of course, not knowing any different, I accepted all the restrictions as&#13;
normal and had a very hap,y childhood. Dad eventually sold the old hou~e.&#13;
We moved for two reasons. One was to get off Main Street. 1'he other was&#13;
to acquire plumbing, electricity and gas. It was great to have these conveniences.11&#13;
11&#13;
Every year we hitched up the horses for our annual picnic at Cook's&#13;
Hill, a creek and woodsy area about 10 miles north of Frostburg across the&#13;
Pennsylvania line. Cook's Mill was a beautiful strean. 1'le ate, played in&#13;
the water, ran in the 'Woods and played games. Even though it was only 10&#13;
·miles, it was an all day trip. I always felt sorry for the horses in that&#13;
country - up and dov.n hill everywhere we went."&#13;
11&#13;
&#13;
11&#13;
&#13;
�.!,' The 4th of July was ,·a big deal too. Dad would buy each of us 'a.&#13;
poke of fireworks' and turn us lqose. 11&#13;
"When the First World War started, I - was a.bout 12 years old. Once a&#13;
--~yeek the ladies and girls in Frostburg got together to knit cans and caats&#13;
..:or the Bf?lgian Babies. 11&#13;
·&#13;
•&#13;
11&#13;
The crash in 1929 hit our family hard as it did everyone. We got&#13;
15¢ on the dollar for whatever was in the bank. During the years following&#13;
Dad's brothers died one by one. Finally he sold out the business. The&#13;
building was bought by the Knights of Columbus and used for their meetings&#13;
until it burned down a few years ago. 11&#13;
"In High School I started dating. My boyfriends and I went to the&#13;
Nickelodeon shows at the Palace and the Lyric Theaters. Sometit:1es we went&#13;
to the Vaudeville shows at the old Opera House. When the circus came, we&#13;
had to go to Cumberland to see it. This was 11 miles and down hill all the&#13;
way."&#13;
Louisa and Martin Hartig were married in Baltimore in 1925'. For years&#13;
Martin was a foreman at the Frostburg Cellunise Corporation, which nanu 7&#13;
factured artificial silk. He changed jobs during the Second World War to&#13;
the Blue Ribbon Bread Co. During the war the windows of the plant were all&#13;
painted black and all the hoI'les in town had blackout drapes. Whenever the a&#13;
air raid _a.lart:Js went off at night everything was blacked- out in to..,.m. A.riy&#13;
household showing a light was fined. The ladies i n town g-0t involved in&#13;
hos pital work for the war effort.&#13;
11&#13;
We made stretcher pads for the battlefront out of layers of lace cur~&#13;
tains contributed by the families in the county - and we 0ade maroon&#13;
sliPoers and r obes for the red cross. 11&#13;
- - "Before and after the war 1-fartin and I did a lot of traveling. We&#13;
went to ~uebec, Canada, once and to ~.-lillia0.sburg and other points south.&#13;
!·!n.rtin was a big football fan,. Since our tovm was halfway between Wash_ngton ~"'ld. Pittsburg, we took our pick on the weekends of which !)lace to go. 11&#13;
The E:artigs have one daughter, Lucy. In 1953 Lucy and b.er husband&#13;
became parents of twin girls, I{arta and Harsha. Their grandfather, :-:a:rtin~&#13;
uas esuecially proud because the gi::-1 s were born on his birthda:r, ITove?:.oer&#13;
10th. Wh~n the tvins were a little over two years old, their :::,arents moved&#13;
to Alamogordo, Hew Nexico. After a few t:1onths went by, l•~artin said, 11 Wha t&#13;
do you think about moving to New Mexico? 11 _Louisa replied, 11 If that' s what&#13;
you want to do, let 1 s go. n&#13;
11&#13;
·we lived at Alamogordo 10 years and liked it, Especially at first&#13;
we enjoyed the warm cli:c:iate year round. But gradually we began io miss the&#13;
changing of the seasons. When the kids 1'.1oved up to Colorado, we came too,&#13;
and have liked it very much. The climate and snow and changing seasons&#13;
are much 1:1ore like our old home in Maryland. We did a. lot of traveling in&#13;
the west once we lived here - to Carlsbad and 1-:exico and Grand Canyon and&#13;
Yel lowstone - all good times. 11&#13;
Martin died s uddenly on June 4, 1971. A few months later Louisa sold&#13;
their home in the country and moved into Ignacio. She is an active partici pant i'n all the senior citizen's activities in this area. Every Tuesday&#13;
after noon for the past 5 yea.rs she has taught knitting a.11d crocheting&#13;
at the senior center.&#13;
There are things Louisa lilces about the East and things she likes about&#13;
the West and there certainly are differences, sµe says. 11 For one&#13;
t1"'.ing:&#13;
here, it's not who you are, it's what you'Ye done that counts. 11&#13;
