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.

Patrick E.F . Patrick 's father, Washington E. Patrick, was born at Morroco , I ndiana, near Ft . Wayne in 185'7. 'tvben 11Wash 11 , as he wa s known , moved to southwest Colorado wi t h his parents and his brothers in 1879 , they entered an unspoiled wilderness. The family settled on Vallecito Cr eek above the present reservoir site where Witt's End Ranch is l ocated. Hash ' s Brother , William, scon moved on to Ashland, Or egon . Mari an went to Pagosa, where he managed the hotel and bathhouse at the springs . Later he reanaged the Keeley Institut~ in Denv er. Wash, Lee and 1·:.il ton built a fish hatchery on Vallecito Creek. The fish were sold to the hotel in Pagosa and to restaurants in Durango. Wash got acquainted wit h John(Jack) Parsons , who was a clerk in Charles Newman's Drug Store in Dur ango. Later J ohn bought the drug store and operated it for many years . John and Wash teamed up to acquire Electra Lake, where they built a fish hatchery. This successful operation lasted until Wester n Colorado Power Co . was able to condemn the land around the lake to build a power pl ant . Whil e operating t he hatchery at Electra, Wash met John's sister- in- law, Rose Allen . They were marri ed in Dur ango i n 1891 . After losing Electra , Wash built a hatchery above Trimble Springs . Ros e and Wash had three children , Hazel, Emer ald Fl int and Har ol d Allen. Emerald was born in 1902 and was named for the two beautiful lakes above Vallecito Reservoir which Wash liked so much. The merchants in Durango were well aware of the success of Wash's hatcheries. They dectded a hatchery in Durango would be an asset to the town, so they asked Wash to collect money from various businesses to buy land on the river and to build a hatchery , which they hoped the state would later take over. Wash became so well known as a hatchery expert, he was hired as State Superintendent cf Hatcheries ,,ri th an office in the s tate capital building . His family lived i n -Denver for nine years while he supervised the building and operation of the first state hatcheries all over Colorado. When the Patricks came back to Durango, Wash worked as a govern ment trapper for several years, then trapped for himself until he moved on to California. E. F . 1 s mother, Rose, and-her parents, Zachariah and Harriet •Allen, came to Colorado i n a covered wagon drawn by oxen. The wagon train in which they traveled survived several Indian attacks 1 during which Rose and the other girls loaded rifles for the men as rast as they could. The Allens lived in Denver 2 years before going to Pueblo. InPueblo Zachariah built the first shingled house in town and constructed the old ~ourt house and one of the early public schools. Mr. Allen ran for public office and was elected Sherrif. The family moved on to Del !forte in 1874 where Mr. Allen was elec ted city marshall . In 1875 he was accidentally shot and killed by his deput y , Jack Lawis, who had been assigned to guard a group of hor se theives. Hearing that f riends of t he theives might attempt a jail break, All en gave Lewis a heavi ly l oaded shotgun and tol d him to shoot the firs t man who appeared in t he door of the jail . After attending a dance, Marshall Allen went to the jail , called to Lewis, who apparently failed to hear him, stepped inside and was shot. He liv~d only a few days. Several years later Harriet A;Llen married Cyrus Newcomb, a justice of t he Peace at Del Nor te . Later they moved on to Durango where Rose Allen met Wash. In 1923 when Wash was 66 years old, he became very ill with uremic pois oning. Doctors in Durango gave his only a short time to live. The family immediately took him to a doctor in California who got the �3 illness under control. Wash was active during the next 15 years. He and E~erald built and supervised a hatchery in Mill Creek Canyon east of Redlands for a senator who lived in San Bernardino. Pat had been writing to a. young lady who was teaching school near Ignacio, Colorado. He and Grace Anderson had known one another since they irnre both children and had managed to stay in touch through the yeal"s4 Pat and Grace were married in Durango on September 15, 1927. They immediately headed for California where they settled to help Pat's father operate the hatchery. Grace 1 s father, Wilburn Anderson was born in Mt. Airy, Georgia. He ran away from home when he was 15 to join the army during the SpanishAmerican War • .After spending a period of time in the Phillipines, he was transferred to Ft4 Apache, Arizona with the troop which was assigned to capture Geronimo . \"bile in Arizona Wilburn met a young lady named Eva Bryan, who lived at Pi netop , 30-40 miles north of the Fort. After Eva and Wilburn we re married, he left the army and went to work for the r~ilroad. He was a part of the crew which built the line to the Grand Canyon and constructed the hotel in Canyon Village. Eva's father had a store at Pinetop, later moved it to Kirtland, N.M. and then opened a store at the Pine Riv-er Indian Agency before Ignacio existed as a town. Fintlly, he moved his store down by the Ignacio Depot. Wilburn and Eva Anderson had four children: George, who was born at Winslow, Arizona; Grace Evelyn, who was born in Durango; Dorothy, born in Salt Lake City; and Don, who was bcrn in Ignacio. 11 W e lived for many years on Bro'Wlling street in the Red house now 11 owned by Jesus Martinez , 11 Grace says. We moved to Ignacio when I was in 3rd grade. I remember attending school in the rock school house located near the present grade school. I got to attend the Indian school for 3t.'.:t ,HHi 9tli g2'f..des. 'I'he San Ignacio Fiesta was even mere fun in those days than it is now. One reason was the efforts of a color·ful citizen named Fabian Martinez. Fabian was fairly wealthy. He owned a bar in the south e!ld of tmm and generally was a successful busi~es sman and a benefactor of his people. Every year he was a chief promoter of the. Fiesta. One event I'll never forget was the fat man 1 s race. Without fail Fabian, who himself was short a nd very large, would assemble 8-10 wellprop9rtioned men at one.end of ma~n street. As you can imagine the ¥,hole . town had a delightful time laughing, cheering and teasing the participants as they huffed and puffed their way to the finish line.I! Grace attended the last three year of high school in Denver in order to receive a diploma from an accred.i ted school. While there she boarded ·with Nell Marker. After High School Grace went to college at Gunnison. She taught at the Harvey School until she and E.F. Patrick were married and moved to California. The Patricks survived the depression operating the hatchery near Redlands4 Wash Patrick died in 1936. Grace and Pat planned to continue raising fish, but nature interr-upted the work in 1937. An enormous rain caused a flash flood which destroyed much of the hatchery. For several weeks it was difficult to get supplies, since the bridges were out. When World War II started, Pat went to work for the shipyards at Los Angelos, then supervised a steam plant at Norton Air Force Base near San Bernardino. In 1949 the Patricks returned to Colorado. Pat built a fish hatchery for a sports club at Electra Lake, then spent the first winter in a cabin near Electra snowed in most of the time. When George Anderson became ill, Pat and Grace ran the bulk plant for him until he could work again. Pat continued working there until he retired. In the early 50 1 s Grace started filling in for Nell Marker at the Post Office and soon worked into a full time job. Shen she retired, she had sompleted 23 years of Postal Service. �The Patricks have two daughters, Patricia Trease, who lives in Ignacio and Donna Becker of Tucson. They have four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. The Patricks have lived in other places and do quite a bit of traveling each year, but they are glad to come back to Ignacio each time. They know what many other people know. Ignacio is a special place.

The remainder they sold or gave away to their friends in Abiquiu, New Mexico, for they were about to start a long trip to the north. It was the year 1900 when Jose and his wife heard about the opportunities developing in the San Juan Valley near the Colorado line. They talked it over and decided to go there. Settling near Rosa, they bought some land and opened a general store and blacksmith shop. At first they ~~re in partnership with Jose•s brother-in-law. Later each man owned his own store. By 1910 when Epimenio and his twin sister were born, (the youngest of 11 children) the family was well established at Rosa. Epimenio says, "My twin sister died when I was, months old and then my mother died when I was one year and three months old. One of our neighbors, Candelaria Valdez, took me to raise as her ewn. I kept in touch with my father and my brothers and sisters, but Mrs. Valdez was a mother to me. I started to school at Rosa and finished 8th grade at Arboles. When I was old enough, my Dad let me work in the store and taught me some of the Blacksmith trade." 11 In 1929 when I was 19, I got my own sheep. Most of the time I grazed them on Federal land leased from the Dept. of the Interior on Middle Mesa. The lease cost about $.13 per head. Most winters the snow was not deep enough and did not last long enough to be a problem, but in 1931 I lost one third of my flock in the deep snow. Prices all went dow:n in the 30 1 s. We got 12 cents per pound for -wool and 8 cents a pound for lambs. 11 In 1941 when Epimenio was thrashing grain for Manley Hott, He got acquainted with Adela Mascarenas. Adela 1 s father, Celestino Mascarenas had been born in Clayton, New Mexico, later migrating with his parents to Rosa, where he met and married Magdalena Quintana in 1922. They were homesteading on their first farm when Adela was born. 11 1 was born in our cellar on the homestead. That was the first dwelling my parents built on their farm. We lived on that place until J was 4 years old. Then we moved to Silverton where Dad worked in the Treasure Tunnel Mine. I have good memories of those years. It was wonderful. to live in Silverton as a child. If you were a dare-devil, which I s~ppose I was, there were many adventures waiting. ,I don 1 t know how.we survived the railroad pump cars. A bunch of us would sneak dolm. to the rail yards, crawl up on one of the hand operated repair cars and pump it out of town up into the mountains. When we were high enough, we coasted back to town. The car would squeel around the curves nearly turning over and nearly throwing us off. Once into the flat part of town, it gradually slowed down and stopped in the rail yard. Though we did this many times 7 no one ever stopped us or warned us not to do it again. While in Silverton I met my future husband for the first time. Epimenio was herding sheep in the high mountains near Pyramid Peak. Since it was only about 28 miles to Silverton over the passes, He decided to come to La Fiesta de los Boregerros. He stayed"'With relatives near our home and pastured his burros nearby. I decided to ride the burros. I grabbed their tails and swung my feet up into the hollow of their hind legs just above the knees and rode them all over the place. You tell me why they didn't kick." "I didn 1 t see Epimenio again until we moved back to Rosa. Through the years as I was growing up, I saw him occasionally at dances, but had no friendship with him until I was 18. While we were both working at the Hott's !arm, Epimenio began to talk to me. At first I was not interested in him, but he vas nice and I began to think th.at since we were both interested in cattle and sheep and liked farm life, perhaps we could be happy.together. �~/97fr 3 W:e ve:r.-e married in October of 1941. 11 Epimenio was drafted in 1942. He was sent to Camp Roberts, then to Hawaii and on to the Solomon Islands. The Native People were very friendly , to Americans, but the Japanese planes and snipers were not so friendly. Ep1menio 1 s unit guarded the airfields on Espiritu Santu Island. - After · 17 months he was sent back to Hawaii and San Francisco for hospitalization. When Epimenio got heme, he and his family spent one summer in Aztec before moving back to Rosa where he did farm work until 1960. The Quintanas have 10 children: Nattie, Esther, Baltazar, Epimenio Jr. (deceased), Elaine, Bernard, Freddie., Larry, Selina and Jeanette. In 1960 life was rudely interrupted in the San Juan Valley. All the People in Rosa and in the valley above Navajo Dam had to move out to make way for the rising waters of Navajo Lake. The government gave Epimenio $1,900.00 for the 12 acres he had inherited from his mother. It wasn't enough, but people had to take what they could get. . "We moved t".p on Stollsteimer Creek for one summer until we found this place to buy west of Ignacio. We've been here ever since and are very happy with this place. 11 Shelby Smith ?J1~ ~~'?'lk, ~- /2.'I() ~ .i.Juu~ ~~ ~'9-~ - J?~~,,/~ ~-~ ~~~ _91/.*- : l ~ - .,f.4.,,i, ~ ~ ~ ~ Mrs. Charlotte Jones returned home May 9th following a two weeks visit with her daughter Jacqueline and family, the Rex Reas in Arvada.

() . • I,/ J1 ~- @-~;-~Cej !"l/3:7 - 1:-~~~ / I I ! 'I I i ! Cc,)'~ �~ /97 r1 JOHN & DOROTHY OLBERT john Phillip Olbert's father, John Olbert was born in S1.mheimbaden, Germany in 1865. He migrated with his parents to Illinois in 1879 .. "My Dad often told me how hard 11fe was in Germany for the common people, 11 John Phillip remembers. 11 People like my ancestors who had no land couldn't get any. However, the harsh military rule bothered them as much as the land shortage. As soon as a son was old enough to be useful to the family, he was drafted for several years into the army. So they Cal!l.e here wanting land and less government control of their lives.· The family farmed in Illinois for se~eral years. John. left home when he was 21 and went to work for the Pullman Company in St. Louis. After a couple of years, he ca.me on west, stopping in Colorado. Pueblo was booming as a smelting and railroad center. Dad got a job helping to build the rail line over Marshall Pass from Salida to Gunnison. _He worked a mule team skidding logs to build snowsheds to divert avalanches over tha tracks. John settled in Telluride for the Yinter and acquired an unexpected job. He had done quite a variety of jobs,'but never expected to be a nurse. The smallpox epidemic which broke out among the miners did not a:ffect John, since he had been vaccinated in Germany. So many of the miners were either deathly sick or weak during recovery, that Dad was recruited as a Doctor•s helper. While in the area he became friends of George West and Bob Hott. They began hearing tales of all the gold that could be panned out of the sand bars of the Colorado River. One summer they gave it a good try, but no one got rich. Dad took off en bis own to see the Navajo country and arrived back in Durango in 1889 when he was 24. He homesteaded at Thompson Park for a year, then moved into Durango to work at a local brewery located just north of the old High School and just east of City Market. When Dad was 31 years old he married Margretha Geisler. My mother, who was 1~ years younger than Dad,was working in Durango and living with her sister, Mrs. Spcnsel. Hy parents lived 1n Durango until 1915 when they bought a farm near Oxford." J'•hn fh1111p was 12 when his parents moved to the farm t mile vest ot Oxford. 11 Moving from a city school with graded classrooms to a one room school with grades 1-8 was quite a change for me. I'll never forget the first day there. Mr. Crosby, the teacher left for a while to check on his wife who was expecting a baby soon. While he was gone, some of the rowdy boys knocked the stovepipe down. This resulted in a thorough sooting of the room. Crosby questioned each of us to learn who was guilty. I was telling the truth when I said I didn't know, because I did not know anybody's name that day. 11 "Dad used about half his land for grain crops and the rest for ·bay and pasture. Every farmer in those days had chickens, turkeys, and a bunch of milk cows. It was common to see 20-25 five gallon cream cans on the railroad platform. Part went to Durango. The rest vas sold to Alamosa or Colorado Springs for better prices. Even 2¢-3¢ more per pound was a help." John Phillip and his brother Ernest went together to buy a new a928 Chevrolet from Rockers in Durango. It cost $600 .00 which they paid in eash after selling some cattle. This was not the first car 1n the family. Their Dad had owned a 1914 Buick and a 1924 Ford Pickup which cost $400.00. John Ph1.1 11p, his Mom and Dad, went to California in the Pickup in 1928. They were really squeezed into the cab but made it. Gas was about $.17 per gallon that year . ,, .... �3. .. In the late 1920 1 s J"ohn Phillip was still not married, but decided to buUd a log house for himself. He cut and hauled logs l6 or 7 per trip) by team and wagon from the hills near Vallecito and cut his own shingles. The house wasn•t quite finished vhen John met Dorothy Billings, the uev School teacher at Oxi'ord. Dorothy was born near Hermosa north or Durango on February 21, 1911. Her Dad, Edrln Booth Billings, was a native of Jaynesville, Wisconsin. Her mother, Myrtle ll,.ay Williams was born in Iowa. 1-fyTtle 's family settled near Windsor, Colorado, in 1890, later migrating in covered wagons to the Animas Valley via the San Luis Valley, Creede, Lake City and over the pass to Silverton. "My parents were truck .farmers north of Durango, 11 Dorothy says. 11 1 vent to Trimble School until I finished 10th grade and graduated from Durango High School in 192511 Dorothy took two years of teacher Training at Ft. Lewis College and came right to work at Oxford for one year andthe following year &t Trimble School. John and Dorothy were married in 1931. Until their 1og house was finished, they lived 1n the Kennedy house a q~arte~ mile vest of Oxford. So many young couples started their lives in this house, it came to be known as the bridal suite of Ox.ford. The Olberts have 3 sons, each of whom is married and has two children. Phillip, the oldest, lives in Boulder. J"ohn Richard, usually called 11 Dick 11 , lives in Palos Verdes, California. Donny is a Lt. Commander in the Navy at San Diego. J"ohn 1 s father died in 1931. Those were hard years for everyone and the Olberts were no exception. Prices for ra.I'!!I products were low and the area suffered a bad dry spell 1n 1934, but they worked bard and were able to keep their land. When the movement began to unify the Allison, Axboles, Ignacio and Oxford School Districts in 1948-1+9, John vas on the schooJ.. boara. He: listened to all the argw!lents and got several good cussings when he supported the consolidation. Though he was aware of the drawbacks and the loss of community spirit when small towns lose their grade schools, John remembered how much he had wanted to finish high school and could not at Oxford. For the sake of others who would need a high school_education, he made a decision which was not too popular. J"ohn has been secretary of the Pine River Irrigation District since 1966. He still keeps the necessary papers in the original leather satchel given to the District by Morrill Turner when it was organized in 1936. John and Dorothy have been involved in a lot of hard work during the 47 years of their married lives, but they also know how to relax. They love to tr~vel and especially like to go to Coos Bay, Oregon, get on a charter fishing boat and hook the big salmon.

Persons wishing to die in dignity and not be kept "alive" with -extraordinary measures when there is no serious hope of recovery should make an advance decision to this effect, not only to assure their wishes being carried out but to protect their doctors and nurs e s from possible legal action and to avoid leaving their survivors with a sense of guilt. To help people do this, The Euthanasia Educational Fund, 250 W. 57th St., N.Y.C. 10019 has prepared. a ''Living Will" vhich reads as .follovs: A LIVING WILL To my family, my physician, my lawyer, my clergyman To any medical facility in whose care I happen to be To any individual who may become responsible for my health, welfare or affairs , Death is as much a reality as birth, growth, maturity and old age - it is the one certainty of life. If the time comes when I can no longer take part in decisions for my own future, let this statement stand as an expression of my wishes, while I am still of s ound mind. If the situation should arise in ~hich there 1s no reasonable expectation of my recovery from physical or mental disability, I request that I be allowed to die and not be kept alive by artificial means or "heroic measures.u I do not fear death itsel.f as much as the indigni t ies of deterioration, dependence and hopeless pain. I, therefore, ask that medication be mercifully ad.ministered to me to alleviate suffering even through this may hasten the moment of death. This request is made after careful consideration. I hope you who cue for me will feel morally bound to follow its mandate. I recognize that this appears to place a heavy responsibility upon you, but it is with the intention of relieving -you of such responsibility and of placing it upon myself in accofdance with my strong convictions, that this statement is made. Signed._ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ ------------------ Date W1 t n es s e d by: TO MAKE BEST USE OF YOUR LIVING WILL: 1) Sign and date before two witnesses. This is to insure that you signed of your O'Wll free Will and not under. any pressure . 2) Give your doctor a copy for your medical file and make sure he i s in agr eement . Bear i n mind t hat t he l iving Will is not a l egal document . 3) Give copies to t hose mos t l ikely to be concerned. Note their names at the bottom of your copy. Keep the origi nal r eadily available . 4) Discuss your i ntentions with those cl osest to you NOW. This is very i mportant. 5) Glance over your living Will once a year; r e -date it and initial the new date t o make i t clear that you have_not changed your mind . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

If Dad vould w·o:-k for the fa:=..ily 2 yea.rs vi~hout pay, he could :c:ia.rry Mother. He agreed to this and was never sorry. 11 "When I was born, 11 Genevieve says, "the area around Pagosa Junction was not al=ost e~pty as it is today. The river valley and all the canyons leading up onto the ~esas were fuli of people. You should have seen the people pour out of the canyons when there was a wedding or a celebration. There vere about 20 houses in to1m, a train station, a church, a hotel Vith a restaurant, a school and 2 stores, one run by the Go~ez fe.mily and the other by Walter Ziebriski, Both stores had good selections of general ~erchandise. Ziebriski ::a.de quite a stir when he put a hand operated gasoline pump out in ~rent of his store. Since Ziebriski spoke E~glish with a heavy accent~ I could never understand one ~ord he said, but Dad could.

HARY EDill GALLEGOS :., .; Har'j Zdna Gallegos was born in Pagosa Springs ' Colorado, Februar:r 25,:. 1-91-2-, the oldest child of Tobias Trujillo and Sarah C-:oreno) '.2:ru- jillo. Tobias was a farmer when he died in 1916. Edna was only 4 years .:-old: and· hardly remembers her dad. Her mother later ;1arried Everisto Garcia • 11 • Hy step-dad," Edna says, trwas a very good man. He trE:ated me really well. 1'1y younger sisters a,.-id one brother are still livi::-1g. Mary lives in Los Angelos~ Dolores in Blanco, Rose in Plymouth, Calif., and Ray in Albuquerque • 11 • ~ ."I-went to school in Lonetree (about 10 miles north of Pagosa June:·-ti on, on Ca. t Creek Road) • · Tr1.a t is dryland country, but in those days web.ad plenty of rain for hay and for crops. The wild ·grass wa:·s_so~ tall it would brush your feet when you rode a horse •. We used. to . knot necklaces from a particular variety of tough grass there. I wonder if it still grows there. The clina te has changed so rmch. ;: · .About 1922 Edna I s family moved ·to 1-fancos for 2 years then ca.::e: back to -purango. · · 1 ' Myf step..:.dad· worked at the smelter where they processed the ores from_- Sil vert_on. . I enjoyed lfving in Durango, but it didn I t last very long. 1'.'hen my mother died, I .went to -live with my aunt in Ignacio, I·staye~ with he± two y~ar& tintil I ias marred at the_age of 15 . .Aurelio Ga1l'egos and I got r:,,ar':ried in 1 927. Fer 15 iears. we lived on the far!'.l at Caracas by the San .Tuan River- just below the :-reT...r ?,:exico · State:Line.: There w~s no bridge across the river. _We f6rded it with a wag~n to buy supplies at Pagosa Junction. If the river was too high we__ c:rossed '.•ii th pack horses.· Sorr.eti.!;).es I staye~ hor:!.e for 3 2onths. Qfte.n ..:the· river was so high in !fay, June and July frcri. the spring :sel t, that w~,wer~ ·isolated. :~-re- had a log house on a rise above the river~ Aurelia raised alfalfa on the river botto~ · and grain on a fla~ place we call~d the 11alcon 11 • - WJ1enever we needed fuel we took our r1agon up on -Caracas Eesa. T.-ife had a perm1 t to haul.. all the wood we needed--f er -our -_p erso.n.al us-e. In the su:r.mel' and fall we took our wag en up on the -~esa to'p into the woods and enjoyed the views and. the peaceful feeling of th_e b_ac}{ ~ot1ntry~ So:::ietimes we _cot.4d watch the herds of beautiful wild hbr~~s which roamed the canyons artd mesas at that ti~e. Befcre . the winter 'we always had enough wood to last till the next sunr1er. '-:l~ g!~W --~e?t:rly.:all our food. Our irrigation sµ-stem \\,·as fro:J our well, sim.pl~ but :·effective. ~-!e p1,rlled up buckets of water with. a rope and _P?~l-ey" ~i)d,_ ~r-i,pt=i;.ed_ them into a sel'ies of trenches which ran do•.,m the - rm,s o,r·_ the garden. -This ·wa,s a lot easier than hauling buckets around the garden.; · We roasted our blue ·corn ·and had it ground at Allison, enough for us and some to sell. 'lie put away 200 lbs. of white peas and all !i:inds of chilies and vegetables. We used kerosene la~ps and a wo6d-b~fning cookstoie. Our cellar kept nur cream and eggs cool in ·surnn.er and kept cur produc_e from freezing in winter. 1.'!e never had :~electricity and never miBsed it. You Id be surprized how few worries we had. No utility bills to pay. Ho food bills. We were sure of everything. I was never bored and never lonely. I always liked the quiet places. 11 . • : ~Aurelia and I had 4 children. 'Roger now lives in Ogden, Utah, Sar~b in Newaik, Calif., Abe in Farmington and Lillie in Bayfield. The klds ~~ftt ~bout 3 miles ~ o school. If we needed to travel any furthe~ than the \ alley, we crossed the river and waited for the train, 1 I \ • �If we needed to go shop.ping. or go to the doctor, ·:-re took the train to Durango. It arrived from .Alamo·sa ev-ery day at 1 : 30 P.H. and would get to Durango in about 2 hours. In winter it was someti□es delayed:· f_or long periods .because ·of snow on· the pa-sses.

Wilhimina couldn 1 t afford school wheri she arrived at Baltimore. · 1 11 ' Howe·v er Martha recalls, 11 My mother spoke good English with no accent, while my Dad for all his schooling always had a heavy German broque. 11 11 Both my parents were naturalized citizens with-in a year. They met at the Am.ana Colo_n y near Des Hoines, Iowa where they got jobs. Two years later they got married. Dad worked in a Brewery, then took up far □ing first in I6wa then in northern Wisconsin where I was born, the youngest of 10. These are my brothers and sisters in order. The oldest was l·li.nnie, then Emma, Ann, Marie (who died at age 2), Hargaret, Augusta, Elvina, Ed, Paul, and Martha.·~• · 11 Dad far□ ed in the sUTI1Iner and was a logger in winter. I remember he saved the tamarack bark to sell to the tannery. rfo one ever irrigates anything in \·l i sc ons in. Most of the t iI!l.e the re ' s too much water, Our river bottom land was like a sponge rauch of the yea~, It was a trick to raise hay theTe. Only at certain times could we work and only witp oxen. They never bog down. After the hay was cut we raked it1by hand -with wooden rakes with pegs for teeth. I can still remember my Dad carving new pegs for the rakes, 11 11 1 never saw anybody ride a horse till we moved- to Colorado. Ey brother even hitched an ox to our buggy to deliver Cream to tm,m. 11 11 Wisconsin is wonderful for wild fruit and nuts, blueberries, cranberrie'"', raspberries, etc. , and hickory, hazelnuts, butternuts, chestnuts. "i;fe gathered two sacks full of them and put them in the attic of the wood shed to dry e..nd cure. Every fall _our neighbors cut and shipped box car loads of greenery to the cities for Christmas wreaths. My mother taught Ee to card and spin wool thread when_ I was 10. I wish I had a spinning -wheel now. It was fun. 11 · 11 I might still be in Wisconsin if our Doctor hadn't told Dad1 mother's health would be better at a highe,r altitude. _Dad headed west, intending to go as far as Oregon where E:re-.a lived. But in Denver: Dad_met: Mr •.-Rbffmans ·who was looking for someone to manage the lli:H Ranch south of Oxford. Dad agreed to take the job for 2 months to see if he liked · it. .ltfter a :month he sent for us. All that were left a-t hoI!l.e were -Mother, IDY 2 brothers ·and me. I didn't like it at first. I was accustomed to a nice home with a lawn. I I!li.ssed r:iy friends. I attended the old white s..c_hool at Oxford. (It's been moved to Amy l•icCaw' s place) I met Horace and Ralph Buchanan, the Boyce . girls, J"im and J"ack Turner, J"ohn Olbert, the- Hayden kids and many others. Hy first teacher was Nyrtle HcChesney from Allison. Later she married Anthony Morris. Soon we n.oved riear the Pine River Switch to prove out some homestead land and rlayed there until I was married at 15. 11 Martha and Gustave Semler, who□ she married in 1919, farmed near Oxford for a year then moved to Sable Canyon on Spring Creek. ThereHartha plowed with 3 _horses, helped run the binder a.nd .shock ands.tac~ 45 acres of grain. Later they worked another place on Spring ·creek which had regular irrigation. 11 We went to Ignacio about every 2. weeks for business or supplies. Frora Ignacio it took 3~-4 hours to ride to Durango if you had a horse with a good running walk. 11 "I remember our nail carrier·, l-lel vin Walker, drove a . wagon with a cover over 1 t and a stove inside. He arrived at our box at 4: 00 P. 1I • and then 1 �~ m/ _ · 'hri.d tCI' go all the way back to Ignacio. Art~ur Capell used a car when he took over that route." rfartha had five children: Paul lives west of Ignacio; Herbert died at r -')~itzsinmons Army Hospital at the age of 22; Betty lives at Olathe; Bill lives north of Ignacio; and lfichael lives at Sheridan, Wyomng. One summer when Paul was a baby, Gustave took a heard of Arthur Jones' sheep to pasture up near the needle .i(ountains. In mid-summer 1-fartha took little Paul on horseback to the Ca.op . It snowed, rained and hailed every day. In late summer she helped nove the herd back to Spring Creek. nI could pack a burro and n:ove ca.op like a man, then." The Ser:ilers lived in Durango, Dulce and Ft. Lewis before moving to.the Chromister Place one rd.le north of Otiord. This was depression time and life was very hard. For 9 nonths 2-: artha ~ilked 30 cows morning and evening. 11 1-~y ha..'"ld.s swelled to twice their size . It was too much work, but in a depression, you do what you have to do. I, also, broke horses to ride or to plow;, for ~25 per head. We lost the far.r:;i north of Oxford. From then on I r ai sed and supported my c.hildren alone. We noved to Ignacio. Paul was only 13, but we triedJto far□ tne James :place (-where Candelaria subdivision is l ocated). :foxt. 1re lived on the Johannson Place at Tiff any and ran the crea.I!l station for Shaeffers. In the spring I dropped corn (planted) all day 1-ong for ::.51 . 50. I anq. the older children 1,rorked at ·w hatever we could to survive. When Paul went to the war, he sent us an a.llottr:1ent which made life easier. 11 Today Hartha has 15 grandchildren and J+ great-gra..11.dchildren to enjoy. She has a nouse full of =enentoes and nenories of her Parents and of a life· of :pioneering in . the north woods and the western nountains. La.rtha still bas spunk a.n.d. energy and a weal th of s1:ills ·w;,,u.ch she will share with others if they want to learn. and she tells greatstories, many of which ·we don't have roon to tell here. by Shelby Sm.th ~-Ielco:--e to our J~11uary Social 1·,11.en January 27, 1978 1Tnere: Senior Center Time : 12:00 Noon Allison - £rboles - Please bring desserts Tm·m of Ignacio ?lease bring vegetab~es & Salads Rural area 1-Iear C::: N' •· H. of Ignacio- Please bring TI:.ain dishes ..., • ,O{j ' ' ~ ..____..-i if ,,-._,.....>-::,,,;;;__ ' ~ , ~ b.....r::J;',1 -~~~-=;~ ~~-~-4 1~11~ .

Her mother, Hary, (Ada is not certain of her name)died when Ada was very young. Ada had 5 brothers and one sister, who was her identic~twin~- After their mother died, the family began selling the land at Breen. In the legal transactions the names of the twins ·were reversed. Ada originally was named Hary, but in the documents was called Ada and Ada was called Eary. Rather than disrupt the legality of the land docu ments, the family decided to continue calling Mary, Ada, and Ada, Mary. A short time later the origi!1al Ada died. So the original Hary, nO"w called Ada, has preserved her sister 1 s na~e for 84 years. Ada came to the Indian School at Ignacio, which she attended for 2-3 years. On a trip back to Breen, when Ada ·was about 10, she fell from a horse, striking her head on a rock. Shortly afterward she began to lose her vision. She was sent away to several hospitals during the next 2 years. ·when she was home, one of theme di cine men, a sun-dance chief, named Cunada, treated her. She credits hio more than the hospitals for bringing a full recovery of her sighto John Russell sold the remainder of his land at Breen and moved to a farm just north of the present cluster homes north of Ignacio. Edna Russell and Sarah Pinnecoose are Ada's half sisters from her dad's 2nd marriage. Ada lived in Dulce for 5 years. She enjoyed the train rides between Lumberton & Breeno ' In 1911 Ada married Graves Stone Kent. His land was several miles east of Ignacio, where the Kents still live. During the early years the n:ortali ty rate anong all peoples was high. lfany of Ada's relatives died of whooping cough and pneumoniao The Kents raised cattle, chickens and horses. The gathered and dried wild herbs and wild potatoes for winter. -The government supplied dried rice,& beans. ·winters weremuch worse in those days. Snow would pile half-~ay up the windows. The winter Isabel was born, Ada says, "You couldn 1 t everi see the fenceposts.~ The Kent children who survived to adulthood are Bonny, Katy Seal, Ida and Isabel. Four of the ota.ers died of the flu in 1918. Some died without names because it was not the custom to give official nas.es to the little ones - until they were enrolled in the tribe. Shortly after Ada & Graves were married, they started on a trip to Breen. Before they got far, a ~an came running up to them carrying a tiny crying baby which he had found deserted in the woods. Ada could tell the little girl was no more than 1 or 2 days old and starving. She took the baby and began thinking how to feed her. The solution was rather ingenious. They returned home, caught a nanny goat and having no bottle or nipple, washed the teats of the goat and let the baby suckle it. She drank greedily. They took their live r;rllk machine with them in the wagon to Breen and got along just fine. Ada soon figured out the baby was the illegitemate child of one of her grandfathers relatives. She raised little Annie(Ada doesn•t tell her last name) until she was old enough to go to boarding school. 11 I went from the goat to the bottle with my own children, 11 Ada says. 11 I raised my own, part of my grandchildren and never asked any money because I love children~ u1,ry father and grandparents always t.:ught me never to argue or fight with my husband and not to talk about him behind his back. I did what they said and we were happy. That is why it was so hard to lose him when he died.11 Ada remembers how people were never alone with their work in the old ,days. They helped one another -plant, plow and harvest. They traded and shared their food so that no one was without the necessities.

When George died at the age of 48, he was farming 1500 acres of rich ~Jssou~i Valley farmland with horses. After his death Hanna moved the children to town and rented the land to others. 11 Heinie and I attended the same high school," Dick r ecalls, 11 but since I :was a member of a higher class, I never knew her till several years l~ter. I didn't have much time to get into mischief. When I wasn' t going to school , I was working . Part of the time I did chores for farmers. For a while I helped the school custodian until I got a job at the telephone co~pany. It amounted to 40 hours per week countin~ all the evening hours and an all night shift Saturday night through Sunday morning . I worked on the test board tracing dovm ~alfunctions in the circuits. Originally, I was paid $30 . 00 per month which later raised to S45 . 00 . In SUJ!l.Oers I really made big money. I t raveled with a telephone construction gang as time clerk and bookkeeper. We installed telephone sµstems in small towns in South Dakota and Minnesota. For that I was paid S75. 00 per month plus my keep. Those were the days before cables and micro-wave transmission. Since every conversation required two separate lines, the telephone poles of those days were laden with several cross arms and dozzens of wires. Long distance calls could be heard only a certain distance. The farthest city we could speak with directly was Chicago. Beyond that an. operator in Chicago would have to relay the message on to another operator until it reach the party being called. I learned to use the telegraph. Telegraph messages were relayed on the phone lines without interfereing with conversations. Because of my work I always had money during high school and for college. 11 Dick was about to finish his sophomore year at South Dakota State when he enlisted in the Army for World War I. He sailed to France in a convoy of 13 ships . The crossing required 13 days, landing i n France on Frid~y the 13th. Many of the men were spooked by those numbers, but any bad luck incurred did not affect Dick. He was a member of a special rail road unit which built narrow gauge tracks and operated supply trains right up to the trenches. 11 Once our cutfi t connected its lines to some Ger~an tracks, crossed into German Territory and pulled a German train bacx into Allied territory. 11 Dick returned to America in July of 1919 and enrolled in college again. The first day back his friends invited him to go with the~ to a dance. Though he didn't have a date, Dick decided to go . As sooa as he arrived, one of his fri ends pointed out Heinie and said, 11 There is a girl from Sioux Falls. You should get acquainted. 11 That ' s exactly what Dick did. Henrietta Amelia is the youngest child of Henry and Amelia Benson, both of whom were born in Sweden. 11 My parents taught me English first, then Swedish. Father was a laborer. I lived in the same house I was born in until I married." �~ Heinie had three brothers and one sister. After graduating from high school she enrolled at South Dakota State to study home economics and commerce. She had been a secretary before college and afterwards did secretarial and book-keeping work all her life. Even though Dick and Heinie were serious students, they found some time for fun. A new music professor from New York who knew little about the ways of the west roomed in the same boarding house as Dick. On a snowy, windy night Dick and some of his friends took the prof on a snipe hunt and left him literally holding the bag. About 2;00 A.H. when the boys were about to get worried the professor came wearily up the stairs. After dating for four years Dick and Heinie were married in 1923. Dick says, 11 Some people may think that is a long t:..me to date someone, ·but in those days a boy was supposed to have a job and something to offer before he got married. I had a degree in agriculture and one in school administration. }:;:y first job was with the first rural consolidated school system in the state at Hadison. We had the first school buses and worked all .the bugs out of running a consolidated arrangement. After two years of teaching agriculture) I was selected to be the superintendent. I stayed with that two years and then took the job of county agent. 11 When World War II started Dick felt a responsibility to help with the war effort. He quit the county agent job and started teaching in a Radio School for the Army Air Corp. At first he was stationed in Sioux Falls, then in St~ Louis. In 1943 the Gardners r·eturned to Hadison where Dick resumed his job with the school until 1956. It was not a matter of being unhappy with life in Madison which started the Gardners looking for another place to live. They loved their life and friends there. 11 11 •,'le hs.d never lived outside South Dakota, Heinie says, ! 1 and ·we decided j_f we were ever going to see any other part of the count:r::, ·we should go then. Dick resigned his job a..~d we started looking. Actually we had Colorado in mind from the start. When we got to Denvei', Dick visited the Colorado Department of Education and learned there were openings for administrators all over the state. We made a list of possible places and began looking. If we didn 1 t like the looks of a place we wouldn't stop. 1'-le almost didn't come to Ignacio beca1.rne an outdated map showed an unpaved road over here. He iaP.1ediately liked the looks of the country around he re , but did not make a final decision until later. After visitin g s everal schools in Texas , Dick called back and accepted the job in I gnacio . He ·was principal at the high school for 3 years and of the grade schoql 3 years -until he retired in 1962, That same year we went to the World ' s Fair in Seattle and 11 then on to Hawaii to visit the grave of our son who died in the war. The Gardner 1 s son, Richard Robert, whom they called Bobby , was born in 1921+, Bobby was tall, 6 1 2 11 , ambitious and had high ideals . He entered the 11arines in 194-2 and was killed in action on Ha.rch 13, 1945', on Iwo .Tim.a. He was awarded the Silver Star, Purple Hea:rt with 2 gold stars, Presidential Units Citation ribbon with star, AsiaticPacific Campaign Hedal and the World War II Victory Hedal. Af'ter retiring, Dick served on the Ignacio town Board, as tovm clerk and as manager of the town gas system. He has been active in Lion 1 s Club, American Legion, VFW, the Regional Planning Commission and Alpha Zeta, a national agricultural society. Both of them have been active in the Presbyterian Church and have held various service positions in the local church.

Max says-, 11 My father 1 s band, the Capote Band, traveled a. lot in those days. Some of them were far~ers, but most of them moved around for good hunting and the teepee uas the right thing for being on the move. There were very few white men around in those days. We hunted for deer and rabbits and herded our sheep and goats. Our games were made to give us skj.lJ.. We would throw round targets into the air and shoot them before ·t hey came down. I rnaae my own fishing pole from a willow, some string and a needle bent into a hcok. We all had horses and depended on them for all our moving around. Hy grandfather told me of a tiI!le when he was young that there were few horses. He knew of some of our people trading a child for a horse. They were valued so much when they were scarce. The Utes always liked horse races. Because the road across the river was long and straight, we bad our races there. 11 11 1.fy peop1.e were not surprized when the white man brought.the train. One of the old l!l.en had seen it in a dream. He told his people that one day white men would cor1e in a thing with smoke and fire. I never rode the train · until I was nearly grown. I was scared of it. }Tnen it came up the valley it ~ooked like it was coming straight at me. I would run. 11 Hy parents put me in the BIA boa:z;-ding school for a few years, but when I got old -enough to herd the goats they needed ne at home. We had some J.a:nd over on the Piedra River and moved back and forth to it. We :played many garc.es; some for fun and some for gambling. One was played with big nails and a pile of dirt, The nails which had numbers painted on the~ -..,ere pushed out of sight into a pile of soft earth. The players took turns poking a stick into the pile to expose a nail, They got points according to the numbers on the nails. The women watching the game would sing and dance around the pile to try to make the earth fall. Blankets, horses and noney were gambled in this game. We also had a game like the white man 1 s horseshoes only we used flat rocks which we would try to throw near or into holes dug in the ground. 11 11 By the time he was 16, Max was on his own. He worked with the crew which built the irrigation ditches. His pay was $1.50 per day. Euterpe's father, John Taylor was his boss. A few years later he went to Buckshin Arizona, to work in the cornf·ields. Before the co:-n was ripe, Eax was put on guard to shoot the blackbirds out of the fields. In harvest time he harnessed the horses every morning and helped with the picking. I always came back to Ignacio when a job ended. After a few years I got a job working at the agency. Until I met Ellen House I had no thought of marrying anyone. Why get married with no money in my pocket? 11 11 Ellen remembers, 11 Max started sending me boxes of chocolate. Sometimes there would be money in the boxes. We were married in 1925 at the court house j_n Durango. I was born in 1907. My mother, Fannie House, died in the flu epidemic of 1918 when I was 11 years old. Daisey Eagle 1s my half sister and I had a brother, Danny, and a sister named July9 Both of them died in accidents on horses. 1-fax and I lived in a house near the agency until 1934, when �3) we moved to the farm near La · Boca. We lived on the farm where Rose Watts is no~. At that time there was an old house on the farm built of posts. Later we bo12ght the land on the hill where we still live. It 1 s good ground up there with a spring nearby." After Max quit the agency, he worked for the D. & R.G.W Railroad with the crews that cleared the track of snow in the winter. Since Max was a cook's helper, his job was not too hard. The others had to use their shovels if the snow plow could not remove the drifts. The crew worked at Red Cliff and at Soldier's Summit in Utah. The crews slept in box cars. It was very cold. In 1955," Ellen says,"we built a new house on our farm. 'When we were strong, we raised sheep, horses, grain, hay and all our vegetables. I still have 9. big garden. In the 30' s many ho1boes came up from the railroad tracks and ask for something to eat. I always gave theq something. So many poor people were traveling around then. I think a farm is the best place to live, because even when· thexe are no jobss farmers have work. We sold potatoes to the BIA School and horses to the Navajos. We never liked cows, but we liked to keep goats and make cheese from thei1" milk. We I re st_ill on our farm and we don't want .to live anyplace else. 11 11 The Watts had seven children in all: Colleen, Ed, Lula, Ellenetta, Crystal, Jerry and Eunice. Only Colleen, Lula and Crystal are still living.

In 1895 a town ordinance was passed agains t fast-riding and driving . It s eemed to be an almost daily occurence for s everal young men of the town to ride in and out of to,m as fast as their s teeds would carry them, almost as if they were hurrying for a doctor or escaping f ror.J an officer.
