I •r I �- PAULINE RODRIQUEZ When Pauline Ruth DeHerrera was born at Antonito, Colorado , on Sept. 15, 1907, Spanis h people had been living in the Rio Grande and San Luis Valleys f or a very long time. The dates in the graveya r ds , if nothing else, will tes tif y t o that. The old Conej os communi ties of Antonito, Las Mesitas , Mannasa and Espinoza s till mainta i n a Spanish flavor. The Las Mesit as Church with its two steeples i s a s triking landmark. Beside it is the church yard were generations of Pauline 1 s ancestors are buried. Pauline's parents, Alfred and , Adala Rodriquez, owned a home and small acreage near Antonito, but in the sumr:ier the whole family headed f or the mountains. Alfr ed was a cowboy. In May many farmers turned their cattle over to him to t ake into the high sum:1ier range near Cumbr es . "Dad would drive the cattle along , some times as many as 500, and Mother and all of us children foll owed in t he buggy. We had a·cabin overlooking a big meadow. It was such a carefr ee life. We picked strawberries by the· gallons. They were s mall, but , oh, s o s weet. Other days Mother sent us for gooseberries. Once in t he gooseberry patch my brother Chris and I got a· terrible fright. We were picking when suddenly we came to a place under some overhanging branches where the grass and flowers were flattened like a nest. Some of the stems were still springing up. It was so plain we had just roused some animal (our imagination told us it was a bear). We screamed and threw our buckets into the air and ran. Occasionally , Dad took off a little t :Lme for fishing. o~ar favo rite place was La Laguna Azul , a beautiful mountain lake wlth gold water lilies along one side . We caught a lot of .fish there. Always we wanted to see• a deer, but we never saw one. I guess those mountains were hunted out in those days . About once a month we went down to Antonito to stock up on groceries . 1ie would leave on Saturday and come back on Monday. Dad had two beautiful mares just for our buggy trips. We had such a relaxed and carefree life until the fall when the cattle were branded and moved down to the farms. 11 Pauline remembers one time that was definately not carefree. In the Spring of 1911 there was a terrible flood all across Southern Colorado. Alfred was already in the mountains with the cattle. When Adala and 0 the children awoke that morning the fields around them were a lake. There was water in every direction. My grandmother Lujan was there with us and we decided it might be higher at her place in Las Mesi tas, so mot her went out and hitched up the mares. We went through deep water, but the r eal t r ouhle came when we got to the Las Mes itas Ditch (which was as large as t he All i son Ditch). The bridge was washed away and the men on t he other side said,'Don't cone across. The mares will drown and so will you! • My ~other was very brave. She de cided it was better to t r y than to be trapped on the low side. The mares wen t clea r under . Mother j u mped from the buggy and lifted the head of one of t he mares out of the water. Finally one of the men jumped in to help and the mar es began to swim. When we got to the other shore, we were all soaked t o the bone and crying. There was water around Grandmother Lu j an' s house too, but it didn't get any deeper. In a couple of days it went down . All our chickens were gone and-everybody's crops were ruined." Idyllic and pl easant as a Rocky Mountain summer can be, winter is another thing, especially in the San Luis Valley. Then the valley becomes a col d and windy place with vast, drafty blizzards howling dorm its l ength. Every evening bef ore bed Pauline and Chris had to .a..-- ..._.., __ _ _ - -••---- •~•-. ~ __. �u~el enouoh notatoes for the n ext d~y and place them in water to keep them :-,bite . "Every l!lorning the ho1..1Se was cold. Dad got up first _to light the coal oil lamp and to 'build a fire in the kitchen. Then I had to get up to slice and start f r ying the potatoes. Then mother got up and. illade biscuits, white gravy, fried eggs and always oatmeal with lots of .fresh milk and butter . 11 Pauline and all the children needed a good breakfast,since ·they walked 11 three miles to school at Esuinoza. Sometimes it was an ordeal. When the weather got real bad, m:y father wrapped our feet in gunny sacks and tied them to our ankles with wire. At school our teacher would unwrau the sacks, hang then to dry by the fire, then help us put them back on when it was time to leave. That was all we could do,because, of course, none of us had over.shoes. 11 Pauline feels that one mistake many parents made at that tj_me was to keen their children out of school too mu6h. 11 Some of the boys in the 5th-and 6th grades were great big things, old enough to be ·in high scho9l today and when they would get restless and bad, I can remember the teachers sending them to the river to bring their own willows to be whipped. 11 Alfred DeHerrera liked politics. In Pauline 1 s words, 11 he was always 'taken' by politics. 11 About 1924 Alfred decided to run for sheriff of Conejos County. If there wa.s any big money around to buy the politicians into office, ·Alfred didn't get any of it. He had to use his o-wn. When he lost the election, the family was nearly broke. To help recover the losses Alfred moved the family to Millikin which was about half-way between D-enver and li't. Collins where he could get farmwork. 11 We· didn't stay. there very long. It was strange country to us. Dad worked lm!g enough to buy a car and then we headed back for the valley. We .stopped to visit someone in Salida9 While we were there. Dad found a job in a creosote plant~ so we stayed and bought a home there. I was about 16 or 17 by then. 11 Soon afterward Pauline met Vic Rodriquez. 11 Vic was one of' 12. His mother was dead. Hy mama tried to help those kids~ She sewed and mended their clothes and asked them in for cookies and did rr:any oth0r things which only a mama can do. 11 Vic was working on the tram line to Shirley when he turned sweet on Pauline. 11 He began signing his checks and just handing them to me. Mama said I better not spend any of that because if Vic and I broke up, ther0 could be trouble over the money. So I ~ut it all in the bank. 1' Vic and Pauline were married in 1928. Pauline handed Vic $900.00, every penny of what he had given her. With the $900.00 Vic set up a saw mill at trujillo southwest of Pagosa. Whatever lumber wasn't sold locally was trucked to Jaunita and shipped on the train tn other ~~rket~. Later Vic moved his mill to Blanco Basin and finally to Red Creek north of Bayfield. · When the government started building Vallecito Dam in 1937, Pauline got a new job. She started doing laun~ry for all the crews working on the dam. 11 I had a gasoline _powered Maytag tha.t ran fron 7 :00 A.H. till 7:00 P.H. every day. There were clothes lines stretched fro111~ tree to tree. I guess we. were the first mountain l aundramat. I made about ~10.00 per day. Sometimes my neighbor Mrs. Millsap would help and I gave her half of what I made. Pauline has good memories of Red Creek since most of - the kids were raised there. 11 They were good kids. We never had trouble with any of them. I guess being raised 1n the mountains, they would have to be good kids. We always had plenty to do, both work and fun. Every Saturday there was a dance. Someone brought a guitar and someone a violin and did we dance! But no drinking. It seems like it snowed more then, ln:J_t_ :L:t didn' t seem so hard on people then. We always had fun in the - �winter . If we needed food, we ' d hitch up a team to the sled and go to town . All those years seem so car efree . l1e never had any worries . I don 't think I ever had any worries until Vic died . We had just bought this house and lived here two months when he died." Pauline has seven children . All of them are married. Irene lives in Bay.field; Ernest in Bellingham, Washingt on; Helvin in I gnacio ; Jeanie in Farmington; Helen in Los Angelos; Della Rae in Bloor.'.l.field; and l-fary Ann in Colorado Springs . Pauline also has 30 grandchildren and l.J. greatgr andchildren . A lot of years have passed, but Pauline well remembers the ustar' 1 automobile Vic bought to bring her to Trujillo . She remembers t he frightful, narrow 1--oad over Wolf Creek Pass and h01•1 rrruch she really didn't want tq leave Salida . 11 I always missed Salida . I liked it there and didn't want to leave. And I have always mi_s sed the Italians. They were good neighbors, nice people . All of the years we ' ve spent on this side of the divide I've been hapyy, but I never felt r eally at home. I always had in the back of r:iy r:1ind a wish to go back over there, but the last few years I feel different. Ignaci o is a nice town with a lot of nice peop_le. I think I belong here . 11 Shelby Smith June 27 Senior Soci al & Clinic Welcome to our June Social DATE WHERE : WHEN HOW : (see below) June 27 , 1975 Community Center 12 :OO noon Pot Luck Allison-Arbol es - Please bring vegetables and salads Town of Ignacio - Please bring ~ain dishes Rural areas North ru1d West of I gnacio and near Ignacio Please bring desserts. Free Clinic Offered at June Social High blood pressure ~nd diabetes are t wo conditions which can cause a lot of trouble if undetected. Most of us do not go to our doctors for checkups as often as we should . Partly because we don't think of it, partly because it seems an unnecessary expense . To save you the expense of a trip to the doctor Lorraine Duran PHS Nurse and Betty Fedrizzi nurse with San Juan Bas in Health are of'fering a fr.f& clinic to all senior citizens who attend our June Social. Similar tests at the doctors office would probably cost {t10 . 00 - $15'. O0. Test 1~ Bring a urine sa~ple taken shortly before coming to the s ocial. The nurses will t est this for any tendency for diabetes. Test #2 Sometime during or after the social you will be given a blood pres·sure test. Participation in the tests is entirely voluntary~ of course; however, for peace of mind we urge you to be tested. �.. A Creed for Positive Living How to live a full and hap:;Jy life'? Louis Stevenson's: 1) Make up your mind to be happy. . . rb ~ Here's one man I s formula-Robert Learn to find pleasure in simple things. 2) Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with the gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears. 3) Don't take yourself too seriously. Don 1 t think that somehow you should be protected from misfortunes that befall others. 4) You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you. 5) Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself. 6) Do the things that you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt. 7 ) Don't borrow trouble . Imaginary things are harder to bear than the actual ones. ' 8) Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities, grudges. Avoid Deople who nake you unhap~y. 9J Have ~any interests. If you can't travel, read about new places. 10) Don't hold post- ~ortems. Don't spend your life brooding over sorrows and mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things. 11) Do what you can for those less fortunate that yourself. 12) Keep busy at something.
