The only person who makes monev from such schemes is the p!·~moter; don't let him get the best of you -- oryour bankbook.

One of the not~too-honest promoter's favorite ploys is to promise to get you "in on the ground floor" of some entero1·ise.

' EMMIT EVANS .t Emmit· Bud Evans and his · twin sister Er:nna were .b orn August 7th, 1896,, at_Qld M~Gee in the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma Indian Territory near present day Stratford in East Central Oklahoma. Their parents, Isaac and Mar.y Ainn had a total of 12 children. When Isaac was a young man , he wor ked for the Butler-Stewart Cattle Co. drivi~g -~erds from East Texas across the Indian Territory to join the Chisholm Trail at Enid . Si nce there were no railroads into Texas in the 1870 1 'S and: early 1880's, t he only way the great herds of Texas could reach the markets in the east was by means of the class ic cattle drives 600-800 ·:niles north to the railheads in Kansas. On one of these drives Isaac met ¥.ary Ann • .-They were married in 1883 . Isaac had wintered one herd of cows in Barber County Kansas and was so impressed •with the quality of the Buffalo grass t hat he declded to move his f amily f urther north into either Kansas or Oklaho!Ila,o After living at Old McGee f or several years, the fanily moved to Maud, a small settlement in Pottawatomie County Oklahoma • .. Everyone who traveled in Oklahoma in frontie:r times sooner er later had a tale to tell about cr ossing one of i t s rivers. During most of the year except afte!r heavy rains t he rivers of Central and Western Oklahoma run 1!.ostly underground . The South Canadian is t ypical. Though the river bed may be a mile wide, 'only a few channels :run water. The remainder of the bed is se.nd or 'the dreaded quicksand . People wanting to cross with wagons would hitch : four or more mules and make a run for it. whooping and hollering to spur the critt ers on. Most people made it, of course, but every wear a few \iagons and animal~ and occas i onally some people were lost i ~ the qui vering sa~ds . The ~vans mane j ,t to Maud ,_ e.cquired E., fe.rm and built a log house . ~ Emmit re\'.!alls, "D<id ~-as str :. .:.:tl:r a cat tle man anc' so al l Jf UB boys had to l earn to :ride 1:.:ope, bull6.og a rid brand .

That't good building matel'ial, .but you better drive your nails before · it dries or ym1 may not get th~Itl in. Even the rafters were cot tonwood 2 11 by 6 1 s . Once they dry they 1 ll hold ~R anything . We raised enough food in our garden to feed the whole · family all year. Mother kept our canned food and potatoes, carrot and cabbages in the cellar. We got all the \'rlld- fruit we wan-t ed . There were the li.t tle sour r ed. sand plums for jelly and a large sweet plum for eating fresh. Then there were paw- paws and the ~ersiir.mons and Black Haws which got ·us fat ~or the ·winter. That country is f'.ull of Black Walnut Trees and Native ~eoans. Every fall each of us kids would gather all the pecans we· could se~i at-4¢ per pound, and then we each put away 100 lbs. for ourselves which we stashed· under the stairs. No one bothered anyone elsds sack. On cold 1:inter evening~ we would crack and eat all the pecans we wanted. Sometimes we_' d play hully-gu11y. One of us would hold 2 or more pecans between ou~ ,p alms and shake them till they rattled. By the soulld the other per son would guess how many there wereo If he guessed r ight, he got the pecails . If he guessed ,rrong he had to give the other person an equal number of pecans from his supply:. 11 ·,r • .''.In the s~ers we chopped cotton for wages. We got $1 • 09 per day. In the f ~ we picked cotton for $1.00 per 100 lb. sack. I could earn $2.00$3.00 pf?r . day _then." "Since there was no school at Maud, I didn 't start at 6 years old . When Emma i were 10, Dad took us to the }~eckusuki Missi on School, a boarding School ov~r on the Seminole Reservationo We didn 1 t like it a bit. We got ther·e abou.t 1 :00 in the afternoon. By 10:00 that ni ght we had walked all tr. wy home. We eYpected Dad to be mad , but he decided that if we were that ~mhap~1, we_wouldn't have to go . Though I didn't realize it at the time, an~ �.. ' l had !!let e.n exce:pt:lonal person at the Mission School. Jim Thorpe, alll:.rncriean athlete and Olyrupic sta1', wes enrolled in the Meckusuki School the sr...me day I was. He ran awa.y, too. His father brought him on hDrsebz·.ck. ,Tlm. didn't wait as long as we did to run away. In fact he out11st2,nced his .father's horse and was home before his father, evidence of the ··seat runner he would become. II . , Not long afterwa rd a school was built at Maud. It was a rough building with home made benches and boards for writing, but we had a good teacher. A:.va Christian ,-Jas from Tennessee and he took no nonsense from the kids. · 'l'hc childl·en at Haud school were normal, heal.thy,husky, rascally f'rontier kids full of mischief. Mr. Christian was a match for them. He kept 15-20 dogwood switches of various t h ickness behind the map case and he used them. Erruoi t s ays , •:ne had eyes in the back of his head. If we were inattentive · o-.r na u ghty or dull, he went for a switch. If he was across the room and couldn I t; r each us with the switch, he'd tbl ow it to us, order us to bring it to his. and then proceed to wear it out on us. Such methods seem harsh today, but he was a good teacher. He made us learn. He taught us vocal c:.nd instrumental music and public speaking. Every Friday night he required us to pa.rticipa.te in a n1iterary11 • A crowd from the surrounding territory came to these e.ffairs to •witness the students in debate, extemporaneous 0 spea.king, rec5.tatj_ons and music. It was one of the few entertainments available to frontier people. 11 After ?th grade students had to pay tuition of $2.00 per month to attend high school. Rr,imit didn't have the money so the businessmen in Maud paid thli:1 tultion so he could :play football. nwo had a gr eat team, but no coach, nrnmnit remembers. 11A cou;le of· our te1.,.chers) Nr .

Since I could speak Spanish passably because of a cours·e or two I had taken, I was assigned as Pershing's interpretor.- We raided across tha border and tramped around. Except for a £aw shots fired at bandi tos· -we didn't accomplish anything.

We landed in England and then on to Bordeau9 I was assigned to the Headquarter Co. of F215 Field Signal Battalian in the Belmcnt Woods. The war was nearly over except for· the time . sever al of us got paid and went AWOL to Paris. The trip back was on anoth~r ;; darned cattle boat , 19 days to Boston." · · By the time.

Emmit did this and was chosen i'o:i." the American Olympic team ·wmch went to Stockholm, SWedeh in 1920. "I c ame in 2nd in the 100 meter dash. At least I was beaten by an ...

During t he years Gladys was-·alive Emmit ~as coaching football at San Antonio ~ilitary Academy. They stayed there �;- ;- for 6 years until Gladys became quite sick, then moved back to Winfield, Kansas. Emmit was hired as superintendent of Schools at Sharon, Kansas, then at Medicine Lodge, Kans as. In 1933 Emmit married Madge Aubley. They lived in Medicine Lodge until 1945, when Emm.it semi-retired and moved to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. "I liked to hunt and fish," Emmit says,·"and Pagosa was right in the middle of the best I could find. 0 In succ eeding years Emmit taught school in Durango, then Cortea, then as superbtendent at Dove Cre ek and at Kit Carson, Colorado, until 1959 when ~.adge died. Madge and Emmit have three children. Virginia Sprj.ngmeyer now lives in Canon City , Marry Jane Nelson now l ives in Hawai i and Emmit Bud Jr. lies in the Piedr a Valley north of Navajo Lake. The girls were already gone from home when Madge .died. Ern:nit moved to Fort Collins so tha t Emmi t Jr. would have the ad.antage of better schools. , Though officially retired, Emmit. took a job as Larimer County Librarian till 1964.

April 24 1903, one 7 ot ten children born to Jose Antonio and Maria Dolorita Vigil. "My father -was a farmer," Alcario says, 11 working on his own place and also working for others. When my mother died in 1911, I went to live vi.th my aunt, Marcelino Vallejos Jacquez. She never sent me to school. There vas too much work on the farm. Every day I herded goats and sheep or worked in the garden. 'I'he farming equipment we had was not too good but it worked. We plowed our rows Yi.th a wooden plow which was littie more than a stick pulled by a burro or a horse. It was all slow work, but neighbors all helped cne another. 11 11 Some of my brothers died in the nu epidemic in 1918, but my twin brother survived. He still lives at Telluride. 11 11 The nearest real town was Aztec about 30 miles away. It had a train depot, several stores and the coUl"t house. On a horse and buggy a trip to .Aztec required many hours, so we didn 1 t go very often. 11 . "My first job -for cash r:1oney was .h .aying. I got paid ten cents for a day's work. 11 W'nen Alcario was grown he got a job with the railroad and also met Rosie Torres. Alcario and Rosie were married in 1923. One child was born to them before Rosie died in 1926. Alcario worked for the next three years on the railroad line to Rico and Telluride. Most of the work was ordinary maintenance and repairs, but al.so included cleaning up train wI'ecks and derailments. _ Snowslides, rocks and I!IUd on the tracks all ca1Jsed . occasional ·wrecks. While Alcario was working at Hancos} he met Jennie Marez, whose folks had a farm near Mancos on Summer Ridge. Jennie w-as· born in Gallup and was reared by her aunt Inez Marez. Since she went to school only through sixth grade 1 Jennie never expected to become a school teacher. For two years Sunner ~idge had no money to pay a schoolteacher. Eighteen students were vithout school. Jennie 1 s relatives asked ber to teach the children. She went to school, looked at the books for reading, spelling and arithmetic and decided to give it a try. Jennie managed surprizingly well. 11 · • 1 used the switch when they needed it and whenever they got on mY nerves, I declared a vacation.n Alcaric and Jennie were !!1/U"ried at Mancos. They stayed there a while tben moved on to Towaoc and to Ignacio. The Vigils have 12 children including three sets of twins. Their children are Dolores, Joe? Margarita ltlld /tlabama-1 Dora and Dorothy (twinsi Slu.1,ley, Betty, Stella and. ~ Stephanie (t.wins) and Pete and Paul (tw.tns). · Mrs Vigil says,"People are always asking me if it 1 s hard to take care of twins. I have to tell them I don't know. When my t.dns were s~all~ people were always asking for one of them. If I would get on the train for Durango, if I weHt to the store or wherever I went, people would ask to hold one of the babies. I never .had but one at a time. 11 ilcario has quite a reputation as a fiddler. He used to play for dances in most of the tmms between here and Grand Junction. "I learned to play when I vas a ch.tld. All my relatives used to play the fiddle and the guitar, so I began trying to play. 11 Several years ago Alcario started carving his own violins. He has made 10 or i2 and still working on others~ Regarding large families Jennie says, 11 We 1 ve never been sorry we have all these children, They've all been very good to us. 11 Shelby Smith �Welcome to our May Social May 27 , 1 977 Senior Cen-ter; north of Ignacio How : Pot Luck ( Main Dish will be Turkey) Allison Arboles - Please Bring Main dishes Town of Ignacio - Please Bring desserts Rutal area N.

Lucy Kinsloe ~&s born in Kncxville, Tenn. 1n 1856. Her father, John Bannister Gibson Kinsloe was a newspaper publisher in Knoxville who later moved to Lockhaven, Pennsylvania where he published 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 moved to Frostburg, Maryland, where the Shaffer's had a well established business. Frostburg is a small town(smaller than Durango) located in the narrow segment of western Haryland between Pennsylvania and West Virginia. This is Allegheny }fountain Country rich in the history of the Revolution and of the Civil War. 11 Everyplace you go is either up or down," Louisa says. Since the □ountains there are rich in bituminous coal, □ining was the chief industry when Louis.a 1 s parents setteledin Frostburg. The quality of the coal was such that it was prized by the shipping lines for their coal burning vessels. 11 The whole area is underlain with a network of mine tunnels, n Louisa explains. 11 However, the town its elf was clean and neat. All the mining work~ were located out away from the town. My father and. his brothers jointly om1ed the H.B. Shaffer Co. They sold dry goods, groceries, harne~s millinery and household supplies. The business also had an area for ,grain ~ storage, a ~111 a~d a carriage house. I ~emember the time years later.when the old Opera House burned. It was just across the street from our business and was such a hot fire, My Dae and uncles poured water on the roof of our place until the danger was past. 11 11 Hy parents c·wned one of the historic old houses in town. It had a large front porch with pillars and seven bedrooms, but no modern conveniences - no bath,electricity, or gas. However, we had one convenience few people can afford anyi!jore ... hired help. Enzie Garletz :naintained the house. She cleaned, did washi~g and ironing and most of the cooking. Jim Wilhelm was tbe b.andyrnan. He maintained the yard, brought in fuel and supplies, did Tepairs and took care cf the horses and the buggies. Aunty Powell was the midwife who helped bring Ge into the world. On occasio~s she took care of us children when my parents were away. ¥:nen my brothers Henry and Francis and I were still small children, we had a goat which could pull a little red cart with a red harness. Once in a while Jim wouli l:itch up the goat and away we would go down the alleys. I don't believe we were ever allowed on the streets with this anir:ial. 11 11 My parents were very strict and quite old fashioned. I was never· allowed to go to carnivals or Saturday night dances. I was never allowed to work in the store. Young ladies didn't do things like that. Being a 11 lady" in that time and in that part of the country involved a whole list 11 of does 11 and 1idon 1 ts 11 which mght seel:!:! ridiculous to most people today. Of course, not knowing any different, I accepted all the restrictions as normal and had a very hap,y childhood. Dad eventually sold the old hou~e. We moved for two reasons. One was to get off Main Street. 1'he other was to acquire plumbing, electricity and gas. It was great to have these conveniences.11 11 Every year we hitched up the horses for our annual picnic at Cook's Hill, a creek and woodsy area about 10 miles north of Frostburg across the Pennsylvania line. Cook's Mill was a beautiful strean. 1'le ate, played in the water, ran in the 'Woods and played games. Even though it was only 10 ·miles, it was an all day trip. I always felt sorry for the horses in that country - up and dov.n hill everywhere we went." 11 11 �.!,' The 4th of July was ,·a big deal too. Dad would buy each of us 'a. poke of fireworks' and turn us lqose. 11 "When the First World War started, I - was a.bout 12 years old. Once a --~yeek the ladies and girls in Frostburg got together to knit cans and caats ..:or the Bf?lgian Babies. 11 · • 11 The crash in 1929 hit our family hard as it did everyone. We got 15¢ on the dollar for whatever was in the bank. During the years following Dad's brothers died one by one. Finally he sold out the business. The building was bought by the Knights of Columbus and used for their meetings until it burned down a few years ago. 11 "In High School I started dating. My boyfriends and I went to the Nickelodeon shows at the Palace and the Lyric Theaters. Sometit:1es we went to the Vaudeville shows at the old Opera House. When the circus came, we had to go to Cumberland to see it. This was 11 miles and down hill all the way." Louisa and Martin Hartig were married in Baltimore in 1925'. For years Martin was a foreman at the Frostburg Cellunise Corporation, which nanu 7 factured artificial silk. He changed jobs during the Second World War to the Blue Ribbon Bread Co. During the war the windows of the plant were all painted black and all the hoI'les in town had blackout drapes. Whenever the a air raid _a.lart:Js went off at night everything was blacked- out in to..,.m. A.riy household showing a light was fined. The ladies i n town g-0t involved in hos pital work for the war effort. 11 We made stretcher pads for the battlefront out of layers of lace cur~ tains contributed by the families in the county - and we 0ade maroon sliPoers and r obes for the red cross. 11 - - "Before and after the war 1-fartin and I did a lot of traveling. We went to ~uebec, Canada, once and to ~.-lillia0.sburg and other points south. !·!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 The E:artigs have one daughter, Lucy. In 1953 Lucy and b.er husband became parents of twin girls, I{arta and Harsha. Their grandfather, :-:a:rtin~ uas esuecially proud because the gi::-1 s were born on his birthda:r, ITove?:.oer 10th. Wh~n the tvins were a little over two years old, their :::,arents moved to Alamogordo, Hew Nexico. After a few t:1onths went by, l•~artin said, 11 Wha t do you think about moving to New Mexico? 11 _Louisa replied, 11 If that' s what you want to do, let 1 s go. n 11 ·we lived at Alamogordo 10 years and liked it, Especially at first we enjoyed the warm cli:c:iate year round. But gradually we began io miss the changing of the seasons. When the kids 1'.1oved up to Colorado, we came too, and have liked it very much. The climate and snow and changing seasons are much 1:1ore like our old home in Maryland. We did a. lot of traveling in the west once we lived here - to Carlsbad and 1-:exico and Grand Canyon and Yel lowstone - all good times. 11 Martin died s uddenly on June 4, 1971. A few months later Louisa sold 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 after noon for the past 5 yea.rs she has taught knitting a.11d crocheting at the senior center. There are things Louisa lilces about the East and things she likes about the West and there certainly are differences, sµe says. 11 For one t1"'.ing: here, it's not who you are, it's what you'Ye done that counts. 11 Shelby Smith ... �Welcome to our ~fa!'ch Social -Friday, 11at·ch 25th, 1977 Senior Center(Uorth of Ignacio) HOW: not luck MJJN DISH:~ Fried Chicken DATE: WHERE: .Allison-Arbo.les - Please bring sal·ads and lo:r vegetables Town of Ignacio - Please bring main dishes Rural Areas ::w & near Ignacio - Please bring desserts Charlie Kent son of Isebel Kent is here visiting his Hother, Grand.ma, sisters and other relatives and friends.

Paso, Texas. Funeral services were Thursday, February 1 o, f'r,om the Ignacio Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Don Kratz of£iciating. Burial was in the Ignacio Cemetery. Jake, as he was better known f .rom the time he was a small boy, spent bis 95 years in ~any areas and in many occupations. . . Recalling when he was in first grade in school in Saguache he told how the McJunkin family came a-cross the plains in a e overed wagon~ He admitted to being sea.red at night when he .heard the coyotes. He had a lifelong interest in music and played the 11iolin a.nd guitaro He said he remembered his mother saying, 11 .Take, I wis h you would s t op plunking away on that guitar, you are about to drive me . crazy" . . In his early years around this area he pl ayed his fiddle at t he county dances and his wife, Ruby, corded on the Piano. He was still playing for his own entertainment in his 80s. vlhen Chrestino Casias, another old time musician, came to see him the two played for hours at a time. . As a young man he freighted across the Navajo :r.eservation, helped . sutvey for a railroad in Arizona and was in the Silverton - Ouray area when t he mining days were a t their height, before he was out of his te~ns. An older l?rother, Elton, freighted supplies from Silverton across Engineer Mountain to Lake Cit.y. · · ·From the Ignacio Chieftain for J'uly 1 9, 1966 - Mr. Mc.Tunkin recalled · he married Ruby Bryan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. (George Washi:qgton.) Bryan at the Bryan home which was across from the present Don Gosney ranch. The Bryans and McJunkin were around before there were any houses in what is now down t own Igna cio. . In 1909 the Bryan store was located on the south s ide of the depot and at a l ater dat e Mr. Bryan built his store down to1mf (corner of Pioneer and Goddard). Mr. Bryan also built many of the present day homes in Ignacio. The Mc.Junkins lived in Durango fallowing t heir !aal'riage. Hr. McJ·un.~in thought it was probably July 4, 1909 that they and the Len.Andersons ca..~e out from Durango en t he t~ain f or the sale of lots as the land had just been thrown open for settlement. So this 4th of July a 30 or 4-0 piece band from Fagosa played for the celebration and there were . eats and speaches ·before the sale was to began, However, around noon; lightning, rain and hail and so· clod it turned to · .. snow. As the snow piled up the people took off and headed .for their hom~s and not a lot was sold. Some four years later the McJunkins did move t o Ignacio. Mr. Mc.Tun.kin ran sheep, then started in a Second Eand store business later addi ng groceries and dry goods.· After a number of years in one location t heybought the store and the business. which t hey operated until selling to Harold Phillips. They had three sons George, Grant and Harry. The McJunkins in later years lived in the :family Bryan home on Browning vhere Ed Mouser now lives. After Mrs. McJunkin's death Mr. McJunkin continued to live he:re during the summers in the house just north o:f his former home. In the winter he lt-as with his son,"Harry, in El ·Paso or his brother, J'illl, at his trading post near Winslow, Arizona • . He paint ed a good many pictures in his later years, mostly from memory of Navajoland and early day scene~. He hung these pictures on the walls of his home for his own pleasure. He did not like vdnter scenes, so he seldom painted bare trees, ice or snow. 1 �{, Get Well Soonl Sanen Frontal Russell Shock Erdman Tobias Belle Cutbair Raymonq.

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. .

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.

Bois Band of the Chipewas. The band has 1 ived there as long as anyone remi;!mbers,. Edward James Cc was born there in i907. His parents, Joseph Cook and Mary Defoe Cook lived in a log house ina small village near the lake. Edward, Sr. could have maintained a s ilhple life at the lake, but he had different ambitions. The Duluth and Iron Railroad has Br anch ltnes to the lumber camp near the reservation. Edward, Sr. went to work for the rail} oad. By the ti.me Ed, Jr. was old enough to be interested in trains, his father was an engineer. I ''Many tim~s I rode in the cab of the steam engine with my father. logs to the junction of the main line, then back to the lumber camp." He'd take a load of But once back home the Indian ways prevailed. The Chipewas practiced a semi-nomadic life. Each family in the village had a log house which they used in the winter. But in summer they each brought out a teepee and headed for the woods. A choice of many beautiful campsites was available and became the subject of much debating and speculation among the clan. The clan moved several times each summer according to the whim of the leaders or the availability of fruits, nuts, berries, etc. (Lakes, ponds, streams, meadows, and deep woods were the options) Each season of the year the north woods offered their bounty. Fruits and berries in the summer, nuts and wild rice in fall, deer and moose to hunt all year round and maple sugar in the spring. "I can remember my grandmother boiling the maple syrup ina large iron kettle. She made sugar cakes a.nd reguJ.ar sugar- all good. In _the ~Ut[ll[ler __time, i_f someon~ killed _a m_oose, _he would invite the whole band (5-6 fa~ilies) to come share the meat, The whole bunch would move their camp to the site of the kill, butcher the animal and begin a feast with dancing and celebrating. Any meat remaining would be smoked a.nd dried and distributed among the families'.' At six years a£ age little Ed was sent to the B.I.A. school at Pipestone, Minn. Through the years he attended a number of schools in Minnesota and South Dakota. In 1918 the flu epidemic hit eh reservation hard, but since ed's school was in an isolated area, the students escaped the epidemic. When Ed was a young man, he came to Towaoc, Colorado, to visit his sister, Tina Ulibarri. When a job came available, Ed took it and decided to stay. The B.I.A. sent his away to Diesel School so that he could operate electric poser plants on the reservations. HoweYer, the most interesting thing Ed encountered at Towaoc.was not a new job, but a young lady named Eva Silva. "I was a lonely bachelor and Eva was an available young working woman. Before long we decided toget married." We began dating and going to the movies in Cortez. Maria Eva Silva is the daughter of Eliseo Silva, a Santa Clara Indian and Henrietta Johnson Silva, a Southern Ute. (Henrietta's Indian name was Cora.) Eva was born at her parent's home on Red Mesa in 1915. Eliseo was a hard-working, ambitious farmer. He raised wheat, hay, and all the family food -- vegetables, turkeys, chickens, pigs, geese, cattle, etc. San Juan and Plata, Eva 1 s grandparents, lived nearby. Their English names were Samuel an'd Phoebe Johnson. We had a beautiful life t ,here," Eva remembers. "In those days the LaFla ta was a large river (before so much irrigation water was taken from it.) We played in the meadows and under the trees by the river. It was a peaceful and beautiful life. Whenever my dad wanted to visit his family, he hitched one team to the covered wagon and the other to the buggy. We followed the La Plata River to Farmington, then to Blanco where we forded the San Juan, across countr: to Regina, then to Coyote and Abiquiu and on to Santa Clara. The trip required several days. 11 - 1 --. - _.,, . ., •• • �We t0-ok plenty of supplies. I clearly remember the blue ,,mamel kerosene heater Dad used to heat the wagorr if it got too cold at night. The feasts at Santa Clara were wonderful. , •" ''Z.rst there was a Mass, then ,a procession, then Indian dancing and feasting. Visitors -:.1ld go into any house to eat." · In 1918 this idyllic way of life was interrupted. Eva's mother and grandmother beth died in the flu eoidemic. A Mexican couple came to share the work on the farm and to take care of the children. When they left, Kitty Cloud came to help take care of the children. In 1920 Eliseo died of appendicitis. Eva and her two brothers ·w ere sent to the boarding school at Towaoc. In the summers they came back to Breen to stay with their uncle, Henry Johnson, on the farm. When Eva was 14, she moved t ~ La Boca to live with her cousin Margaret Wright. Soon afterward she was sent to the vocational school at Albuquerque. Curtis Cutthai~, Nettie Unca Sam and Nettie Burch Frost were all there. After she finished school atAlbuquerque, Eva returned to Towaoc and was working in the hospital when she met Ed. Ed and Eva were married in 1936. Ed's career with the Indian service took him to reany locations during the next 32 years. Shiprock, Toadelena, Window Rock .and finally back to Shiprock. Eva recalls, "I enjoyed living among the Navajo. I know there was an enmity between the Utes and the Navajos a long time ago, but I liked those people. " Ed· retired in 1968 and bought a house in Farmington; then inl973 the Cooks moved to Ignacio. They have four children: Marvin, who lives in San Jose, Patricia who lives in Gallup, And Clifford and Jeannie who live at home. Eva se.rves as chairperson of the Board of the Southern Ute Public Housin,g Authority. At least they do the~ i thj_ngs when they are not tTaveling, which they do often. Marvi.n has sent Ed and Eva rlane :ckets to come spend Christmas with him and his family in California. We wish them a Herry . ,ristmas and long and happy lives.

He is the oldest son of Silvano. c1..nd Tomasita Lucero. There were five other children, two sisters, ~osephina and Macedonia, and three brothers, Silvano, Rubel and Benito. Joe be:i'.ng the oldest son helped his father on their 640 acre ranch. They had dry land on the mesa and a section on the river bottom. Part was used for crops and part for running cattle and sheep. Most of the time Joe was needed on the farm at home. Occasionally, he hired out to Walter Rey for hoeing beans and other farm jobs up near Allison. 1 Joe decided before he got too old, he better get himself a wife . 1 There was a girl back home in Martin Plaza, N. M. who:n he had known when / __, he was a boy. Joe a.nd Susana Martinez were neighbors. t:fuen Joe we:i;it home' Susana was· 14. They courted for two years, then decided when Susana ,;,ras 16 it was time to get married. Joe wanted a young wife, not a old one. They , married in Los Martinez N.M. and stayed at his father's ranch. Four of their seven children were born there: Irene, Fred, Mary Delice and Raymond. Joe and Susana brought their.children by horse and wagon to Horner, Colo-;;, south of Allison and leased 80 acres. While there Mary Lou, Benstina and. Susie were born. Six of the children are still alive. Five are in the Ignacio area and one in Chicago. Raymond was in the Air Force and died in• Denver in 1957. Joe worked his own ranch and hired out to others in the area·. He worked for .Toe Shank for three summers, for Barney Leone for 9 summers. The family did ,most of -its shopping in Rosa, Joe 1 s la_st years of ranching were with Vernon Young, then with !1ike Faverino. When Susana ) died in 1967, they had been married 41 years. . Joe and his daughter Suzie took a trip to Chicago to visit his dau·ghter ~..ary Lou. They spent about a month sight-seeing. On Dec. 12, 1974 Jos took another trip to Chicago. This trip wasn't too pleasant, for Joe had suffered a heart attack and spent 27 days in the hospital. In March 1975 Joe bought a trailer and moved it to Ignacio where he co11ld be closer to his children. Joe's father is still living, a spry 90 years of age. He was still farming up to five years ago when he sold an 80 acre ranch at Oxford. Silvano now lives with his daughter Josephina in Gem Village6 Joe at 68 is still helping his neighb~rs farm. He's over at Tom Gallegos today separating cows.

One such f~mily is that of James Morris who was born in Ocosoley County Kentucky in 1870 and died in California in 1955. James married Laura Kate Waggoner in Arkansas in 1893. While they lived at Berryville, their son Louie was porn on November 18, 1900. From there they moved to -Eureka Springs, Ar kansas for a while and then went to McCloud, Okla. to grow cotton. In 1908 J ames loaded his family and possessions in a covered wagon and headed for House , New Mexico, which is about 45 miles south of Tucumcari. The Morrises bought a claim and opened a general store handling grpceries, dry goods, hardware, kerosene, etc. staying there five years. James might have stayed at House but he kept remembering stories about the San Juan Mountains the Waggoners had told. Laura's father and one of her uncles had spent a year tr~pping furs in.the mountins north of Durango years before. After 5 years at House, James sold out and loaded the covered wagon. By that time Louie was 12or 13 years old. According to his memories travel by covered wagon was not bad. 11 0ur wagon was pulled by two mules which could cover about 40 m.iles per day if the roads were good. We carried barrels of water, bacon, flour, beans, potatos, coffee and a few canned goods. Dad built a bed in the back of the wagon and a cupboard on the rear.· The door of the cupboard . came down.on hinges to form a table top. The stretch of road from Albuquerque to Cuba was hard because of all tl1e sand. My brother and I followed in our buggy. The trip to Tiffany took ahout two weeks. 11 The Morrises operated a ranch for Limebargers for one summer, loaded up their wagon and headed back to Arkansas. James retraced his steps back to House and sent on to Amarillo. That night when the family was parked in the wagon yard, James walked up and said, "Pack up. We 1 re going the rest of the way on the train." James had sold the wagon and team to another man. The family was in Arkansas a short time, then back to Oklahoma City where James corresponded with Mr. Fierman and Mr, Dalton, the owners of ·the Allison store. In 1911+ The Morrises bought the store at Allison. and settled there for three years. Louie recalls, 11 Children in school were mischievous then as well as now. I remember the time one or the boys put a bottle of ink on the pot belly stove. Pretty soon it blew up and splattered ink all over the ceiling. But as a rule we weren't any better or any worse than children a.re today." About 1915 or 1916 the farmers around Allison decided to incorporate and start their own telephone company. Every body who wanted a phone bought stock in the company. The Shanks family were the opera.tors. Of course it was a:11 partyline. Everyone had a different ring, two longs and a short, long short long, etc. Everybody heard the rings and everybody listened in. The more who listened in, the dimmer the sound became~ If a child wanted to be mischievous or if someone was talking too long you could place the ear piece over the mouth piece and it would make a horrible noise whick would quickly clear the line. · There were many traveling salesmen in those days (the people called them drummers, a name the salesmen hated). Since there was no cafe in Allison, Laura provided a place for the salesmen to eat. In 1918 we sold. the Allison store-and moved to Twin Falls, IQaho, for one summer and then on to Portland Oregon. 'The M:orrises were· in Portland when the great flu epidemic everyone has heard so much about struck the country. Louie was working at a cooperage at the ·time. ·j �3) '.11 got ~>• 50 per day for checking the barrel heads after· they ·were sawed to make ·certain the beveled edge was smooth and without flaws. I rode the street car to work. During the ·worst of the flu epidemic the conductor· woule only let a .few people on at a time. We stayed in Port1.a.nd through one winter, then returned t o .Allison to· buy a fe.rm from Scoggins (Now· the place belongs to Harry Engler). 11 . It vas a big event in 1 919 when .James bought his fi:rst car, a 4- door Chevrolet, an open car with ~i canvas roof and. side· curtains which were kept rolled up u~der the seats until needed. The Morrises enjoyed their car, but not when it was muddy. There was no gravel on the roads in those days. In 1920 Louie started dating Irene Young. I1~ene I s parents~ Archie and.. Nancy Young w~re farmers at HcClave, Colorado, 20 Lliles west of Lamar, before t he"y moved to S.1.1!. Coloradoc Their i:r.'}.'igated farm pro~• duced alfal fa a.nd gr·ains. In 1913 when Irene was ten, her :oarent.'.'l sold their farm and moved to a place just across the New Mexico l ine south of Allison. Hr. Young butlt a nlce tw·o story hou,-rn (The one he built vas moved to Colorado before Ffavaj o Lake i•ras filled. It is now· the Rc·"bert Cox hcjnenear Tiff a.ny.) The Youngs stayed in Hew 1fe:x:ico ·t-wo years then traded thei:r- farm -for one nearer Allison •. In 1920?
