You tested the oven temperature by opening the door and thrusting your hand inside? You tossed an apple peeling on the hot coal range to correct a .musty or unpleasant odor in the .house? You filled the kerosene lamps, trimmed the wicks, and washed the glass chimneys every morning? 1 Petticoats had drawstrings? You ironed everything-starched :corset covers, open drawers and I petticoats edged with Hamburg ! lace ruffles with another plain "dust ruffle" underneath? ' It took at least an hour in full :sunlight on a warm day to dry your long hair? Mother heated her curling tongs by putting them into the top of the glass chimney of the lighted i•erosene lamp? i :, You had to allow an extra ten minutes for lacing up your high laced shoes? You folded over your long-legged underwear to get it inside your long black cotton stockings? The school principal threw away the \in ari nki ng cup that used to be kept on the top of the pump in the school yard, and each child had to bring a cup from home for his own use? You provided fertilizer for your potted plants by taking a s~all shovel and a paper bag and looking in the street for some suitable horse buns (manure}? You had to remember to empty the drip pan under the ice box before you went to bed? You shaved a cake of soap into the wash boiler and boiled the white clothes o.n the top of the kitchen range? �Sunday, July second was the dat e of the Payne family reunion at the home of Glen and Evelyn Payne east of Ignacio.

During the building I s last days as 11 the u:.:RG/ station it was a part of the mov-ie, 11 A.round the World in 80 Days • ~he front of the station facing the track had been painted pink and designated as Fort Kearney~ Instead of restoring the one side to the railroad yellow the paint crew was asked to paint the rest of the building pink. As the old DC:RGistation was transformed into the Parish Hall it underwent a~other paint job. It was also used as a Day Care Center, the American Legion Hall etc. Reflecting the earnest and outspoken nature of the people of Ignacio the arishioners were asked for a. resident priest. Over early opposition their voices began to be heard in· various d:Loceasan meetings throughout Southwestern Colorado. ·In 1975, a missionary priest from the Order of the Divine rdora i,:issionaries offered his services to Bishop Busell to serve the co~. .rrrrunity for three years. On April 5, 1976 the Parish began the new experience of having a full time pr·iest, Fr. Donald Castonguay. Paint and local talent concerted the old baggage room of the depot to a suitable office and rectory. At the present tir:::e the building is also being used for church services as the St. Ignatius Catholic Church is being torn down and plans for a new building a1~e in the !!:aking for the third time in this century.
