Also, the valley below the p'illars was cal:Led :fashington Flats. Both were naned for a rer:::.arkable Indian . family whose descendants still live in this area. . Daisy -i.-:atts :was -oorn near ChiED.ey Rock on Jan. 18, 1901+, the daughter of Joseph and Jane Hatts. Hhen Ja..-ri.e died 2 years later, Daisy was raised by her gra..11cl~other, lfartha, and her grandfather, George ·.:ashington. George and 1-rartha ·were not still living in a teepee, but otherwise they still follo·wed the old ·uays. George 1-ras, as nost lt3erican sch._ool children would say, a 11 real 11 Indian. He was a hunter, a .fisher and ·a. 1.mods-wise ~an little changed by J>_TJ.glo er S:pa..n.ish cult ure. People ,-ib.o saw hin never forgot George i:ashington, partly because of the ·way he dressed. During sur....::ter and most of the w;inter George wore nothing but a breechcloth held in place by a string a.."'1.d \-,~s one of the last of his tribe to dress in this fashie,p. Since he, like ~ost of his ancestors, had 1.{orn this scanty costu~e all of his life, his skih was very dark, weathered and tough. His appearance vas one of toughn~ss a...n.d ferocity.

He also had sheep and goats which he butchered as needed. ;.'hen I got old enough I here.ed the sheen in the hills. Grancmother al,;-;ays ta..'111ed the goatskins. She had a simple way. She rubbed the inside of the skin •with brains, let it ci.ry, rubbed it ·with brains and re-neated this till the li...ide was cured. The skins had many uses. One of- which was to 2ake leggings for us in uint~;r. Sometimes cy sisters and I used the goa t skins for a sled in sno·wy 1-rea-c~'ler. We cli.tlbed the hills with the skin and nut it hair dom1 on the snm'f. One sat in front holding the front legs of the skin and the other sat in back holding the back legs. It would go fast. Once my Uncle Fritz bought me a dollwith a china head. \·!hen my grandnother sa.""'.:T hm·T TIUch I liked it, she made me an Indian c:radle for it fro::n a board, sor.2e buckskin, willmrs and beads. I think we always had plenty to eat. The hills ·were full of food. Every sunner and .fall we picked ,-:rild strawberries, chokecherries, berries and banana · berries'i'.' until 1·1e had all we could eat and all we could dry fol" winter. The banana berries were ~y favorite. After they were dried, ,,re 1-:ould boil them and they nade a sweet syrup 1•:rithout adding a._r-1y sugar.

MARIA RIVERA Maria-, the fifth of Antonio and J"osefa Abeyta' s nine children, was ,') born into an orderly and hard-working world, Her family were sheephe~ders in the country near Tierra Amarilla, N.M. "Most of us in that time weren 1 t too poor and sure weren 1 t rich. We lived in a post house. Cedar posts were set in rows like a stockade, then plastered inside and out. The roof was posts and sticks covered with · earth. It leaked and was a mess whenever there was a heavy rain until we could afford to put tin over it, I haven't been back there for a long time, but we hear the house is still there and still being used. 11 When Maria was about three years old, her parents moved to a d~y land farm near Cabresto (up Frances Creek east of present day Navajo Dam). Antonio built another post house and dug a well. He hit a good stream of water at 18 feet. The Abeytas raised dry land crops fairly successfully, but the garden needed watering and the well was the only source. Maria r emembers hauling bucket after bucket to the garden. Two of Maria's sisters went to live with their grandmother at La Puente about three miles f~om Tierra Amarilla. Grmd.mother's house was a large frame house with five bedrooms. Maria recalls, "The fifth bedroom was just for guests and was ne-ver touched unless a guest was in the house. She had a large wood-burning cookstove, a fire place and a heating stove. No coal was available, so someone had to chop a lot of wood. 11 · Since there was no school at Cabresto, Antonio bought a farm near Rosa. It was much easier to raise profitable crops on the irrigated land and possible to send the children to school. However, Maria seldom got to attend school more than l+-5 months per year. T1,ro o.f her older sisters had died. Si...."lce the other two were living with their grandmother, ) and Josefa had become ill, Maria became the cook, laundress and food preserver for the family. Maria says, "People talk about how bad kids are today8 I don't believe they are nearly as naughty as they were when I was a child, Once when I was a child a group of boys in our room tried to set the teacher on fire. The teacher was an old man and not too observant. ·The boys began slipping matches under his coat collar with the match heads protruding in a row. One of the boys behind him struck a match and was about to set the fire when rme of the students yelled and grabbed the lighted match. Otherwise the resulting fire would probably have burned all the remaining hair off his nearly bald head. 11 11 Every winter our cellar was full of beans, peas• chi cos, cheese and piles of pumpkins. Then we had eggs,milk a..~d butter coming all the time. We always had enough. Everyone who put out the effort to grow a garden had enough in those days. I think the climate is colder now. It's hard to get things .to mature." 11 In warm weather all of us children were outside playing or working all the time, but in cold_ months .there was less to do. That 1 s when abuelo and abuela (grandpa and grandma) told us stories and tall tales around the fireplace. I wish I could remember the stories they told, but I can't. For public ente~tainment there were only a few events· each year. On the 4th of July there were races and a rodeo but no fireworks. One year some one brought a Ferris Wheel. Nothing else; just a Ferris Wheel. It cost 5¢ to :ride. I ate ic·e cream and drank lemonade and rode the Ferris Wheel so many times I got. sick and had to go lie down at my aunt's house. Then there were the maromas . The last maromas I remember was in Ignacio in the 1950 1 s. Tm maromas was a group of people who made music, danced and sang and told jokes and stories •• The whole community came when �the maromas were in town.rr When Maria was 25 she married Henry Rivera. She won 1 t .tell how many boyfriends she had before ~he met Henry. His family had migrated to Rosa r,,------.._,__ from Cimmaron and Manero·. Henry had worked in the mines at Silverton 1 and on the railroad. The Riveras stayed at Rosa until 1949 when they bought a farm near Allison. Their 10 children are : Cecilia, Bennie, Mary, Gilbert, Pete, Fred, An..~a Marie Orlando, Agnes and Richard. Cecilia and Mary are deceased. In adJition to the children Maria has 23 grand children. · . In 1956 Maria moved to Ignacio. She bas worked at various jobs since then. The children are scattered all over the country, and becau·se of this Maria has got to do something she never thought possible. 11 I Have traveled all over this country. · I nev·e r thought I'd do that. The way I · was raised people stayed home. They didn't expect to go anywhe~e and they couldn't ·with their livestock and crops and gardens. - But I 1 ve been to Los Angelos, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York to see my children, of course. I'd rather ride a burro than these little Planes that come . to Durango, but once I get to Denver the ·big planes are ·nice. 11 Shelby Smith WELCOME TO OUR AUGUST SOCIAL DATE: WHERE: WHEN : HOW August 27, 1976- Ute Park : ) 12:00 noon Pot Luck Allison-Arboles Town of Ignacio Rural areas NW & near Ignacio - Please bring desserts Please bring vegetables and salads Please bring main dishes Happy Birthday Feliz Cumpleanos John Chavez Emett Evans James Baker Joe Zaida - Sally Capell Nelson Mackey Euterpe Taylor Hazel Brake Jim Fisher Marion Worford Martha Archuleta Get Well Soon Sanen Prontol Bonnie Baker Jose Quintana Ruth Snook Roy Groves Lulu Watts Agnes Mann Erdman Tobias Raymond Frost Emily Taylor Frances Riggins Sam Evensen Annette Herrera Vi-.,ran Richmond Lizabeth Aleza.ndra Frances Buck �A baby shower honoring Rosemary Martin Redd was given by Phyllis Gallegos and Patty ¥,ickey Sunday af'ternoon, August eight in the Presbyterian Church annex. · ~rrs.

"We lived in a little adobe house still standing on the place next to Jack Frost's farm. I.don 1 t remember my mother. She died when I was very young, so my grandparents largely raised me. My grandfather, Robert Burch had all kinds of animals, turkeys, sheep, cattle and chickens. The apple trees he planted are still there, but the strawberry pat-ch has died out. 11 Essie started school at the Allen Day School, then went to the Bayfield school for grades 4-7. She finished high school at the Indian School in Albuquerque. "The Albuquerque School was mostly a vocational school to learn farming, home economics, etc. One thing I liked was the military training. We wore uniforms and every morning we had drills. Then on Sundays a lot of people from town came out to watch our dress parades. 11 Essie was one of six students chosen to be sent to Pennsylvania for special nurses training, but about the time she was ready to go her grandfather needed her help at home. So she never got to go. Essie had, of course, ridden horses all her life •. So no one thought 1 t wa.s particularly unus.ual .for her uncle to ask her help to break and . train his horses. Essie was doing just that when she met her future husband. Bonnie Kent was hired to help break the horses, also. The two of them took an immediate liking for one another and were married in 1937. ) . Bonnie Kent was born near Ignacio in 1918. His parents were Graves Stone Kent and Ada Rabbit Kent. They had a home near the Oxford Tract. When Bonnie was too small to remember much,the house was struck by lightn- · ing and everything was lost. Graves continued raising sheep and cattle on the open range until he got a land allottment east of Ignacio where Ada still lives. There were a rew automobiles around when Bonnie was a child but most people still used horses and wagons or buggies. ''The best I can remember, 11 Bonnie says, "a new buggy cost $300-$400. Real nice one cost about $500. There were shops to service and repair buggies just like there are auto repair shops today. You could buy new parts or the blacksmiths could rebui1d the rims and spgkes and other parts that wore out. 11 Work on the rarms was hard 1n those days, but bonnie and Essie both remember that life with good feeling. 11 In the haying time we loaded the cut bay on slips (sled-like platforms pulled by a team) and hauled it to the barn. If it was a grain field, we hired a man with a binder to cut and bind the grain into shocks. Then someone brought a thrashing machine to the field. We threw the shocks into the machine and it separated the gran from the straw. The men held cloth sacks under the spout to catch the grain. Others stood by to sew the sacks closed. Life was better on the farm then. It was hard work,but we enjoyed it. Everybody kept busy and helped one another. ' Right after they were married, Bonnie and Essie stayed with Bonnie's parents for a while. Bonnie worked at irrigating in the summer. He was a line rider over in the Piedra country and then worked on the farm at the Ignacio Indian School. About 1946 the Kents got a farm east of Ignacio where they built the home in which they still live. Bonnie was > �-, the i'ribal Activities Board which was responsible for planning a..i.d organ- izing rodeos. The old rodeo grounds were next to the Ute Park where the ball park is now. This involvement with the rodeo got Bonnie interested in raising stock again, not for th meat market, but for rodeo stock. Before long he had quite a few head of bucking horses and some Brahma bulls. "We really enjoyed the rodeo business. We rented the animals to rodeos around the 4-corners area, Farmington, Cortez, Pagosa, Dulce, Durar,go and Ignacio. Cnce in a while a dealer would take a few of our a..>1imals clear to Texas or Oklahoma for the rodeo finals. Most people think rodeo stock are really mean, but they're not. On their home pasture most of them are as gentle as pets, It's only in the ring they turn into a different animal." The Kents kept their rodeo stock until Richard, their oldest child moved away from Ignacio. They hav~ four children. Richard now lives in Oregon. Eunice died at the age of 17. Phoebe still lives at Ignacio. Their 4th child, Beulah was chosen to be Miss Southern Ute, the Four-Corner's Indian Princess and was a runner-up to Miss Indian America at Sheridan, Wyoming. Beulah represented Miss Indian America at many events in this country and once in Europe. Bonnie and Essie have gone to the Bear Dances and the Sun Dances for many years. "It's still done about the same as always, but in the old days they were a little stricter. No food or drink near the ceremony and no intoxicated people allowed. It was more religious and less social. We liked the old way a little better." Shelby Smith Welcome to our· June 25 Social!

() ~ ~-----) :, ,; �r · HAZEL and FBANCIS Martin Jones and his wife Mittie were farmers in Hillsboro Illinois, on May 28, 1-896, when their son, Francis, was born. They raised corn and wheat and earned a fair living by working hard. The Jones family n1:ight still be living in Illinois if V.artin had not felt the lure of another kind of life. When little Francis was three years old, the Joneses sold the farm and moved to Creede, Colorado, deep in the Rockies. Martin worked in the mines near Creede for a year or so, then got a similar job near Del Norte. The Jones children spent the remainder of their childhood in that beautiful place on the Rio Grande River with the mountains nearby. A new opportunity confronted the family in 1916. Land near Dove Creek, Colorado, was opened for homesteading and the Joneses decided they wanted some of it. The now famous bean country around Dove Creek was not much in 1916. It was rolling sagebrush covered hills marked with scattered clumps of tough cedar jun•i per and pinon trees. Francis recalls, "We pulled a heavy chain with 1+ mules to pull up the sagebrush and other shrubs. Whatever didn't come up with the chain we dug up with the grubbing hoe. Then there were all the trees to chop down. By the time we had finished clearing our homesteads ( My father and I each claimed one each) we felt as if we had earned them." · · When World War I started, Francis went to Oakland, California, to work in the ship yards~ His job was called 'bolting up 1 • When the war was over,Francis tried the Merchant Marine. First land training and then out to sea. He soon quit. "There was too much water out there for m:e. 11 He came back to Naturita, Colorado to work in the Vanadium mines. At the mine Francis made friends with Earl Swinford. When work stopp8d, Earl and Francis moved on to Gold Hill, Nevada, where they learned well drilling. Earl wrote letters asking for work ~n Canada, Mexico and Oklahoma, They received job offers in all three places, but finally chose the Shell Oil Co. in Oklahoma. "We went to Oklahoma in July of 1923. It was so hot, I lost 1, lbs. in a week. When I took my lunch to the field in my truck, it would be all melted and run together by noon. The worst day was 118 de·grees. We would work at a drill site .for a few months or a few weeks, then move on. At each new town Earl and I woula go to opposite sides of the street and knock on every door till we found someone who would rent us a room. We had been all over Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas for four years when we arrived in the little town of Nash in northern Oklahoma, " Nash was a drug store, a schoo.l, 3 filling stations, a grain elevator, 3 grocery stores, 1 cafe and a bunch o.f friendly people. Francis rented a room from Hazel Hildinger and her sister who lived and worked 1n Nash. Hazel was not expecting the arrival of another working man into Nash to change her life radically. She had lived her entire quiet life in the area of Nash. Her parentsl John and Sarah Hildinger had been in the Cherokee Strip Land Run in 1~93. They staked a claim and raised their 7 children on the farm 1½ miles east of Nash. Hazel remembers, "When I was a chi.l d, there was a lot of work on the farm, but we had fun,too. We played 'Run, Sheep, Run' and the other childhood games. I loved to ride horses. Every chance we got, we went I 8-9 miles west and a 11ttle north of I-lash to the Great Salt Plains. 11 The Salt Plains (now a state park in Oklahoma) are a flat swampy area of numerous salt springs and salty artesian wells. During dry periods when the water lowers, it leaves acres and acres of glistening ) �) white salt encrusting the ground. Once prized as a-source of salt by Indians.1 it was a playground and picnic and racing ground in Hazel's time. Then there was fun in school. Hazel was one of the 1,000 1 s of liberated girls on the plains during the 1920 1 s. She was a guard on her high school basketball team. 11 0ur uniform was socks, bloomers, a middy blouse and rubber soled shoes. We played the teams from nearby towns, Pond Creek, Jet and others. Our school also had baseball and track. About the time I 1"1.nished school football started ... At the time Francis came to Nash, Hazel was working at the Wilson store. They soon got acquainted and decided they liked one another very much. Hazel and Francis were married in Feb. of 1927. Shortly afterward, Francis moved on with the drill crew. Hazel stayed in Nash a while to dispose of her property. When she joined Francis in Texas, Hazel began an unforgettable period in her life. 11 We moved every few months. The longest time we spent any one place was 8 months 1n Ft. Stockton, Texas. It was dusty and hot - all white alkali soil. It was the worst, the berries! But most places we lived, even if we didn't particularly like them, were interesting places to be for a while. That wouldn't be the life for some people, but I loved it. Always new faces, new friends, new places to shop and to enjoy. 11 During the worst of the depression in 1932 Francis was laid off. The Joneses came to Ignacio and bought an 80 acre farm on the bill west of town and were just getting settled down to a life of raising hay and cattle when Shell 011 called Francis back to work. The pay was too good to ignor. Drillers earned about $10 per day at a time when most farm laborers were lucky to get $2-$3 per day. Francis rented the farm and headed for Oklahoma. . The Joneses first child, a little boy, died when he was 8 days old. Their second child was a girl whom they named Plaineau(a French name). When the time came for her to go to school, the family was still moving. Plaineau, who simplified her name to Pat, attended 2-3 different schools every year. Some children wouldn't have learned anything with so much moving around, but Pat made friends everywhere she went and did well in school. About the time she was ready for 7th grade, Francis decided she deserved a permanent home. He asked for and received a pumper's job at Antelope, Texas, south of Wichita Falls. "It was so nice to build our own home on the lease, 11 Hazel recalls. "The first ot the 19 wells Francis serviced was only about 50 steps out the back door. Pat finished High School a~ Antelope. We lived there until 1953. Francis retired that year and we came ha.ck to the farm in Ignacio. We then lived at the farm 16 years, raising hay and Black Angus cattle and selling eggs. Seven years ago we sold the farm to Jal:e Candelaria and took his house in trade." The kind of life the Joneses lived so long is hard to shake off. "We miss it. Some times we get the urge to travel so strong its hard to sit still. That's one reason you see our white Pinto on the road around here so much." Shelby Smith ... �\. - . .

Maria Benedita was the first or six children and the only girl. Two years later Benedita's father heard of good land and new opportunities across the line in Colorado, so he moved his family to a farm near La Boca. They stayed there for a year, then rented the Joe Velasquez ranch 7 miles .south of Ignacio near Martin Hayes place. The first son born in the family was Manuel, then Julian, Eustavio, -Benino and Alfredo. Leandro had goats, chickens, pigs, and sheep as well as horses for work and transportation. As the boys grew up they gave plenty of help with the irrigating and harvesting on the farm. · Benedita am her mother took care of the garden and the cooking, weaving and sewing. Candelaria raised her own chili and other produce. "She dried everything," Benedita recalls, "and without refr1dgerat1on or freezers that was the best and cheapest way to preserve food·. · After a few years Dad bought the farm from Joe. We had an adobe house with two front rooms, two bedrooms and a kitchen. We carried water from t.he river until Dad dug a well near the house. n To earn extra money Leandro worked part time for l..rthur Jones who lived over near Spring Creek. · "I remember when I learned to make tortillas. I was so small I bad to stand on a bench to reach the table top. I, also, remember the ·gQod smells or food at Christmas. That was a happy time in the old days, even though we never had store-bought toys. My father would carve dolls and baby chairs and wooden dishes. Winter was nice because ot the sled. It was so much fun, so smooth and quiet to ride on the sled. That was the best way to travel in those days. 11 · Benedita went to first grade at the agency, but thereafter she vent to school at the arroyo, (over the hill and below the present locker plant slaughter house. Fabian Martinez had built a tavern, dance ball, ca.re, rooming house etc. along the railroad tracks one mile vest or Ignacio. Benedita liked the arroyo school better because the teacher could explain things in Spanish, if necessary. In 1910 the Luceros moved to a place on the hill west of Ignacio, then they bought a place in Ignacio in 1911 (the same house where the La Febres now live). That was the year of' the f1ood • . Every one who was at least 5 years old in 1911 remembers the flood. It rained tar a week. All the people in the valley got flooded out. "We bad to go through deep water 1n a wagon to get my grandmother out o~ her house. Many people spent 2-3 days in their attics. Others were lost 1 _especially- down along the San Juan." Benecuta married Chrestino Casias on January?, 1915, when she was seventeen. They were married 1n Ignacio and traveled to and from the church on a sled. "Chrestino and his parents were our neighbors south of Ignacio for a long time. He was a nice boy. I had known him f'or a long time and always liked him. In those days there was a dance 1n Ignacio everySaturday. That was about our only entertainment. We often went to the dances together and knew one another vell when we got married. For a year we lived with my parents, then got our own place west of Ignacio near the Pine River Switch (not far from Joe Chavez}. We raised garden, vheat, corn and hay. Most of our shopping was done 1n Bayfield because ~ ' i I �3) -I prices we:re cheaper there than in Ignacio.,: A time of great sadness came to the Lucero family in 1918e Bene,,.- , di ta' s mother was one of the . thousands in this nation who died of the swine flu that year. Two years later Leandro married Marie Chavez. They had one daughter, Elisa, (now Mrs. Bennie Herrera). Chrestino and Bennedito had 5 children: Ray, Ophelia(Mestas), Helen (Cruz), Lloyd and Chrestino,Jr. In 1925 Cbrestino went to Utah for 2 years to work in the mines. He earned good money, saved it, and in 1927 had enough to buy his first car, a new Chevrolet. The Casias bought a place on the hill west of Ignacio.soon afterward. "We bought the land from Arthur Smith, who at that time lived over near Jerry Young 1 s place. We enjoyed our life here. Our kids were good kids. I guess about the only time we oi;rerworked them, _at least some of them think so, was in carrying water. For a long time the kids had to bring water from the spring down the hill. Some of them used to say they were going to become hunch-backed from all that carrying, but they didn I t . II Chrestino died Febr12ary 16, 1974. For years he had played -t.he guitar and vioJ.in well and was · frequently asked to play ' :f"or parties and dances. He will be remembered a long t ime -~or this_ ability. Benedita still lives at home • Occasionally, she visits her children in Utah and California, but mostly she stays home and spends a little time each day remembering both the good and the bad times of the days long ago. Best wishes to her fol' many more years of' happiness and good memories.

They should never say 11 hurry up". Usually they are fat, but not too fat to tie kid's shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear and they can take their teeth and gums off. It is better if they don't typewrite or play cards except With us.

The town of I gnacio celebrated "San Ignacio Golden Days" July 26 & 1 27, ~1963 in observance of' 50 years since the incorporation of' the Town in 1913. . Mrs. Benedita Casias wife of Chrestino Casias, was chosen as the reigning mot her she had lived i n I~acio since 1909 coming here with her parents when she was one year old. The other two honorees during Golden Days were Mrs . Vida Ritter, a resident since 1906 and Mrs. Mary Velasquez, a resident since 1908 . All three ladies had lived in Ignacio continuously since moving here. Townspeople, businesshouses and organizations all joined in making it a celebration to be long remembered. Parade chairman Ben Cordova reported 16 floats were signed up for the parade and more entries were expected. Sunbonnets had been selling briskly all week and the men were busy growing first class beards. Very rare golden railroad spikes were to be offered for sale and articles of fift y years ago were being displayed in store windows •. Milford Shiel ds, Colorado poet, wrote a special fiftieth Anniversary poem and early day settlers recalled numerous events of the community for publication in The I gnaci o Chiefrain. The JuJ.y 26 issue of the Chieftain was the final edition to be published by Fay and Charlotte Jones as new publisher Dick Carmack, longtime Bayfield resi'dent, had purchased the newspaper. It was recalled by Chrestino Casias that Roy Hall owned the first car in Ignacio around 1905. Most people then drove in with a team and wagon or rode horse back. As it took most of the day to go to Durango they usually stayed overnight and returned home the next day. Around 1910 L.M. Wayt, father of Mrs. Ritter and Jackson Payne, Glen Payne's father, laid out the streets or Ignacio with a team of mules and a plow. Following the 1913 incorporation of the town Mr. Wayt took the papers of incorporation into Durango to have them filed at the Courthouse. He then served as the first Justice of Peace and the rest of his life was known as Judge Wayt. This 1976 year covers a lot 0£ history for the Town and the Southern Ute Tribe.

The American Bison, which most of us call the buffal·o , once grazed ·=--. the great plains in herds which numbered in the millions. They also J roamed the Rockies in fair numbers, but this was often a smaller variety called the Wood Buffalo. A couple of months ago the Senior Center asked Chris Baker to find some buffalo meat for our Bi-Centennial Social. Chris indicated this might be a more difficult task now than 100 years ago. However 1 he agreed to try. Thus began the great Baker - Del Duca Buffalo Hunt which ended in Denver. Ed Del Duca, Tribal land use planner! located a supplier there who can ship the meat by air just before our Apr 1 1, social. Thank you, Ed-& Chris. May all your hunts be successful.

Belle Hancock William, one of seven chiidren of Price William and Maria Capote William, was born in the Florida Valley of La Plata County, ~, Colorado, on January 1 2 , 1 906. · J 11 My parents owned a frame house in the valley ~ust so:uth or where the narrow gauge railroad crossed the Florida River. (1½ miles south of where the present U.S. 160 crosses the river.) The valley was not cleared for bay fields then. It was full of sage brush. There were huge clumps, some 5 feet tall and so thick we used it for firewood. My parents could hunt and fish and gather wild food, but my father wanted better things for his family. He decided he would have a better chance for jobs if he could speak English, so after he was married, he went to Ft. Lewis to learn English. When he came home, he brought a Navajo boy named Jake who was in trouble with the Ft. Lewis people. · Jake stayed with us a long time and helped with the work. My father got a job at a lumber mill. He drove a team to drag logs. He had his own horses and mules and donkeys. He cut wild timothy down by _the river and in the hollows watered by the springs coming out of the Florida MAsa. Our nearest neighbors were a Mormon family. They loaned my father their mowing machine and then he would share the hay. · Every summer and rall my parents sent me out to pick blue berries, chokecherries, buffalo berries and Indian bananas(the fruit of the soap weed). The Indian bananas were my favorite. When the stalk gets dry and the pods hang down their heads in the fall, they are ready to pick. They are as sweet as apricots. I've been ·back to the places where we used to pick them, but the deer and elk always get them first. We also picked. wild onions and wild spinach. Sometimes my parents bought a bitter plant from the Mexicans for. medicine." · After a few years, Belle's parents moved over to her grandparent's· ) farm 3½ miles north of La Posta in the Animas Valley. Belle soon learned all about mjlking goats and herding sheep. "Most c:f the milk we made into keso (cheese). It's a simple thing. You boil the milk. Squeeze the juice from the Soap Weed into the milk and boil it some more. Let it cool. Then put the milk in a cloth and let all the water drip out. the keso we made was something like cottage cheese. 11 Belle was finally s~nt to the Indian School at Ignacio. She well remembers the big sign there which said, "Don't talk Indian, 11 but even so Belle mostly enjoyed the school. . · "It was more fun then milking gosts and herding sheepl 11 Belle was about 14 when her mother died. n1 stayed with my grandparents for a while. Then I got a job at La Posta working for the Candelario Vigil family who owned the store and dance hall there. I cleaned, carried water and helped with the cooking. I lived with that family two years and t h~y treated me very well. In 1922 Superintendent McKeen sent me to school at Towaoc. In the summers I didn't have any place to go so I got a job working at the Wrightsman Hotel in Mancos. Ellen Wa"tts and I both worked there two summers. We washed dishes, ironed table cloths, picked berries and cherries and currents and made them into ice cream and pies. Near the end of the second summer Ellen and I heard about the Spanish Fiesta in Durango. Our jobs were about to end at the hotel, so we took the train to Durango to watch the games and the races. When we found the Indian camp, we located Daisey Eagle, Ellen's sister. She took us home with her to Spring Creek. 11 ... �Belle attended the Haskell Institute in Kansas until she was 18. ~ When ·she came back to Colorado, she worked .for the hotel at Mancos again. Ellen Watts got married and it wasn 1 t long till Belle had married Curtis I -~\ · Cutth.air• , .· , , . , 1 met Curtis in Mancos. We had known one another several years. Finally, one summer Curtis came to see me and-said,, "I don't have any ·family of my own. I'd like to settle down and have a family to belong to. 11 Curtis had been to trade school. He got a job operating the steam heating system at the Agency in Ignacio. In his spare time he farmed his place north of Ignacio where the family home is located. Belle and Curtis had seven children, Richard, Garnet, Christine, Larry Vera, Laverne and Darlene. burtis later quit the Agency so that he could clear and plow the Oxford tract and spend more time on the farm. He died in 1965. Curtis probably never dreamed his ·wife would become a movie star, but that happened last year. Belle was selected to be in the cast of the movie "Winterhawk11 • She and Thelma Kuebler appeared in mountain -scenes in their native dress. Belle enjoyed her part in the movie very much. Whether they knew it or not, when the casting crew chose Belle, they chose some one ~Tith authentic ties with and memories of the tribal history of this area. Belle says, 11My grand.mother was a half-sister to Ouray. · My grandparents moved around with Ouray and fought the Commanches with him over the salt in the San Luis Valley. They chased the Commanches all the way to Antonito once and killed a lot of them. At one ttme there were Indian trails all th:rough the mountains. My grandparents traveled them, hunting and fishing during the warm time and in the winter they settled in the valleys. I might know more about the old days, but when I was a When I , child, it was not proper for children to ask many questions. )wanted to know something, my mother would often say~ 1 Don 1 t ask questions. Mind your own business. You are too young to know!' Belle's memories of her own time are very strong. 11 1 can remember our home in the sage brush in the Florida Valley. I remember learning the worship dance from Tom Nevrton's mother and the oldest memory I have as a little child is the time - I must have been about three - when I was wrapped in a blanket and tied on my aunt's back a.Tld she was dancing and dancing and dancing. I can't forge~ things like that." ' 11 by Shelby Smith �BI- CENTENNIAL SOCIAL IN MARCH f the first Bi-Centennial our March 26 Senior Social W!-1 ~~~-irboles communities.

It was there Paul Brake . and Hazel Gunderman became acquainted through their interest in music and dated and became good friends. Ithaca, in the finger lakes district of southern New York, is a very beautiful place. 11 It 1 s very much like here, only less rugged and has much more rain, 11 says Hazel. . When Hazel was born on August 30, 1901, her parents, Charles and Ethyl Gunderman, lived in Waverly, New York, about 4o miles south of Ithaca. Mr. Gunderman was employed by an aggressive company with a great future, the Bell Telephone Co. "Dad was a construction .foreman and a trouble man for 33 years. This job eventually took us to Ithaca. It was hard work without the machines used today. The telephone poles were raised by horses and the men had to pull the wires by ha~d. During the years he was trouble man, he was called out during storms · and in the middle of the night whenever service was interrupted. 11 School was quite demanding in those days. "We didn 1 t get any credit for just being there. Every year we had to pass the Regent's Exam or we would not be passed on to the next grade. Our home was heated by a coal stove. We had running water from the town's spring-fed reservoir, so pure it needed no filtration. We had no supermarkets. We bought milk and eggs at the creamery and our meat at the butcher's. The stores did have some canned goods, which was a h~lp, since the only fresh things available during Winter were cabbage, celery, t~~nips and plenty of apples. Bacon was 20¢ a pound and if butter go~ to 35¢ a pound, people thought it was too high to use. Refridgerating food was never a problem in winter. We always bad a cold room, but in summer every one used an ice box. Blocks or ice were delivered twice a week. Ice cutting on the river provided work for many men during winter." During the 1920 1 s Hazel taught music to many private students. This work was successful and enjoyable until the years of the depression. Suddenly people were too poor to pay for music lessons and.Hazel was out ot work. In 1932 Hazel and her mother went to Los Angeles for a visit and decided to stay, since there were more · jobs in California. av.er the next 30 years Hazel had a variety of jobs. "I took whatever was availableduring the depression. There was no unemployment compensation then. 11 In 1962 Hazel made a trip back to Ithaca. While visiting Miss Holmes, one of her old teachers at the conservatory, she learned that Paul Brake, whom she had not seen for over 30 years, was teaching school in Salida, Colora~o. When she returned home, Hazel wrote to Paul and the friendship which had begun so long ago resumed. They met in Las Vegas, Nevada, over Christmas vacation of {962 and were married. Paul returned to Salida to finish the school year. The next summer he joined Hazel in Los Angeles. The Brakes came to Ignacio and Durango for a vacation in the summer or 1964. This was not Paul's first trip to this area. He had taught music in the Ute Vocational School 6 years from 1946-53. Of all the bands he taught in various schools across the country 1 Mr. Brake says he got the most satisfaction from his bands at the Indian school. Primarily,, Mr. Brake says, "Because the Indian children are very talented, musically." ) ) �. ~Paul had good memories of Ignacio and Hazel took an immediate llking for the area . After a little searching, they· located a house to buy, then returned to Los Angeles,since Hazel needed to -work only a few more moaths to reach retirement age. She had no regrets about ~ leaving Los Angeles. . "Los Angeles offers many cultural advantages, such as the- Hollywood Bowl, the museums, and the symphony, but I never really liked it there very well. It is damp and fog 6 y much of the time. Then the town began to grow until all the autos made the air almost unbreatheable. '' Pulling up stakes to move to Los Angeles and then on to Ignacio 1s part -of the pattern of Paul Brake's life. His career in music has .taken. him to more places in the country than most people have heard of. Paul's father, Charles Hobart Brake was a school teacher. educated in Canada. Later he bought a Business College in Norfolk, Nebraska. Paul was born there on December 14, 1897. After selling the college , Charles farmed in Nebraska and then decided to go back to Nev York. Not long afterward, Paul began to demonstnate the beginnings of the musical talent which would dominate his life. Paul had been forbidden to 11 bother 11 his father's clarinet, but wnen he was alone in the house Paul experimented with it until he could play a tune. When his father caught him, )le . de_c ided 1 t was not mischief b1:1t po~ential . talent showing up. So Paul got lessons. - Then he was sent to the conservatory where he met Hazel. His first jobs were providing theme music at the theatres in Ithaca. Then he went on the road with the band in Ve.n Arnum's Circus and became fascinated with the traveling life. Over . the next 20 years he traveled the country with a marvPl n11s variety of circuses road shows and melodl"a~s. Paul worked one season on a living legend, ihe Cotton Blossom Show Boat. "We played the tm,ms up and down the Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, one play going down and anoth~r coming back up the river. We did Little Shepherd .Qf. J5:j.n_gdom .Qpme and )1n;wanted .Q..hild. The band provided incidental !]iUSic. · ~or the plays. · When the boat stopped near Hannibal, Missouri, I asked an old timer whether he had kno'1m Mark T,-rain. He said yes; he had lmown him and that Mark was a pretty good man, but an awfUl liar. 11 The show boat was a theater built on a barge. It would seat 500. "Most of the time we stopped at townsi but occasionally we'd tie up at lonely little docks in farm country. ~hat night we 'd see the people walking through the woods with their lanterns and rowini; down the river in their skiffs . People in those areas were hungry for eatertainment and it was surprizing what a crowd we'd pull out of seemingly empty country • . Seats cost 35¢-75¢. There we~e 10 in the cast, 12 in the band and a crew of 3 operated the stern-wheeler steam boat which manuevered the barge.~ Paul played tuba for the Youngstown, Ohio, Symphony for several yearsi then went back on the road with the Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bai ey Circus. Other years he taught band in schools in Ohio, Texas and Colorado. . The Brake's time in Colorado has been retirement in the best sense of the word. Now that there ·is time, tney have· both worked to developfurther their talents and interests. · Hazel_ has taught piano to many youngste:rs and_ sp~nds hou~s oil painting. Paw fishes in .t he Pine River when he takes a notion, t.eaches violin and comnoses music • . His latest creation, a symphonic composition of four suites for band was conducted by ~ • . Brake at the Ft • .Lewis Band Concert last December. Our senior citizens are people with abiliti~s and interests as varied and as valuv able ss those o~ any other age group. The Brakes are adequate- evidence of this. · We send both or them our best wishes for good health and for many years to work and create and contribute to their community. by Shelby Smith �WP;i,gQ~ TO OUR .JANUARY SOCIAL Date Where When HOW 301 1976 .••• January Community center 12:00 noon Pot Luck Rural Areas near and northwest of Ignacio--Please bring main dishes.

Most of them are narrow and steep, running torrents· ot water in the spring thaw, then gradually slackening off and drying up by mid summer. Ona exception 1s Ignacio Canyon. Partly because of a good spring, water runs in it al1 year. In 19o4 Liberato Chavez and his wife1 Frances, traveled up the Piedra looking for a homestead site. When Liberato saw the flow oC water out of Ignacio Canyon, he explored it and found a suitable place tor a ranch operation. The house he built beside the creek was made of logs planted vertically 1n the ground like a stockade. The roof was supported by logs 1 crossed by poles and willows and sealed with mud. The walls were plastered. with mud and the result was a smal1, but warm and suitable cabin. Distinct bands of blue 1 yellow and white clay were exposed in the walls of the canyon. The Chavez family and many ·of their neighbors in the river valley disolved the clay into a thin calcimine paint and used it to tinish the interior walls of their adobe homes. · · Liberato raised grains and hay and herded up to 250 sheep and ?0 goats in the hills around the homestead and up 1n Brushy Basin which drains into the canyon. Frances devoted her time to a large garden which produced most ot the family's needs.· In spite ot all his efforts 'Liberato found it necessary to work out cutting timber, shearing sheep or laboring on the farms in the Piedra Valley for extra income. In the spring of 1911 Liberato alld his brother were working across the river when it began to rain. Spring rains are not unusual 1.n Colorado, but this one wouldn't stop. The rain came in wind-blown torrents. Liberato and his brother stayed under cover tor a day or so and still the rain came. As the rain continued, Liberato grew afraid. He could picture Frances and his childl"en, in the cabin beside Ignacio Creek. The creek was already swollen with the spring thaw. He could imagine it rising higher now. Finally, Libreto could wait no longer. Since there was no chance or fording the river, he rode for the D. & R.G. w. railway bridge and his heart sank when he saw it. The Piedra was a ragingh toaming rush or water. All that remained ot the bridge was the r"\ s still bolted together and swaying in the wind. Though it was foolhardy, he inched across one of the strings of rails and made his way up the canyon. The family was fine. They had packed food and clothing and vere camping on a spot higher up the h111. The house survived, though the creek came close. The rain continued unabated for 11 days. When it stopped, the river had changed course in many places and familiar landmarks had disappeared forever. At the time ot the flood, the Chavezes had three children, Joe Mary and Juan. Juan Ramon Chavez had been born on August 21, 1910. His parents were married at Blanco, then lived tor a while in Rosa before moving to the homestead. One ot Juan's earliest impressions ot mountain lite when he was a child concerns the cycle ot hard times. He recal.ls 1 11 It was always hard to store enough food and save enough'money for the winter. As the weather turned cold you either had enough or you didn't. There wasn't any welfare. The store in Rosa might give you credit. Otherwise you were on your own. 11 A few years after Juan was born a very exciting thing happened in the canyon. The Candelaria..-Fowler Lumber Mill -wa.s built about a mile below the homestead. The company built houses for employees, provided a commisary and put up a school house. School was open during summer so that weather would not interfere so much. Liberato worked at the mill and times were easier until suddenly 1 t closed in 1 91 9. The l ) _ �3. people moved, the school closed. As the years passed, Juan was given more and more responsibility with the flock. "Because of the work we never not to go to school a~er at Stollsteimer Creek till late in the fall. Then we'd have to ~uit about April 20 because the river would get too high to ford." Juan's youngest brother, Dave, was born in 1920. In 1925 when J'uan was 15 his mother died of pneumonia. "It got hard then, 11• Juan says. •It was all m.y .rather and Joe and I could do to take care of the herds and work outside for cash income. There was no more garden." In 1927 Liberato married again. After about two years a. daughter was born to them, and ~hortly afterward Liberato's 2nd wife died also. When this happened, the Chavezes moved out of the canyon to a rented farm on Stollsteimer Creek. Joe lert the farm to work out for wages. Shortly afterward Mr. Chavez left for the same reason. Juan stayed for a while to help his uncle on the ranch. Haying has always been back-breaking work. It certainly was --during Johnny's generation. Early rorms of the machinery now used began to appear on the farms when Juan was a young man vorking on the ranch ~or Mrs. Sallenberger. She had a horse powered taling machine. It was set up by the haysaaclls and required 3 operators, one to throw hay out of the stack, one to feed the machine and one to tie the bales. The 100 lb. bales were taken to the depot and mipped out. Juan worked 2 years for the McDona.lds. He was piad 50¢ per day. That amounted to $182.50 per year. In the winter he sawed green pinon ~er firewood. 11When the green wood i s f rozen hard , i t splits easily." Juan couldn't resist a pay raise when he heard. about jobs paying a dollar a day over 1n the San Luis n ear Del Norte . "I irrigated and helped with haying. When this ended, I got a job as camp tender with t be sheep up west of' the Rio Grande near Creede. I always enjoyed l iving up 1n the high mountains . We made r ish hooks out ot baling wire and caught some big f ish in those creeks . 11 Johnny bad several girlfri ends , but the one he kept remembering vas a girl named Cleo Vallejo, whom he met at his brother, Joe •s 1 wedding in 1929. "She was very pretty and shy. " During the nest severa1 years Johnny worked at several jobs including the Forest Service, sheep-herding and clearing land for f'armers. In 1938 Johnny and Cleo were married. They lived on Stollsteimer Creek tor a while before moving to Pagosa. - Later the Chavezes came toignacio to help .Toe 1n his shoe repair shop. It wasn't long,however, till Juan was back on the farm where he is today. Cleo's parents were Alex and Ma;ry Vallejo. She was born in B1anco H.M. on April 9,_ 1915. ilex was a sheepherder, sheepshearer and farmer all his life. Wllen Cleo was 9 mo. old, her parents came to Ignacio and lived inthis area and Oxford and Durango ,-11 their live~. ·J'uan and Cleo were separated for several years during the 191+-0•s and 19,o•s, but they got back together and still live on the farm NW of Ignacio Juan bought 1n 191'-5. "We got the farm for $400.00 down. We started with one cow and a pickup. Gradually we built up the stoc.k and raised grain. We've tried sheep and cows and back to sheep.'' Juan and Cl.eo have worked hard all their 11ves and as many neighbors will attest, they have also been good fr~ends, ready to belp when help was needed. Juan I.earned to play the violin and quitar when hP- W&f a little boy. Rl.s parents ordered instruments through the mail. At firs~ tµey were a complete mystery to Juan. All he l.earned, he picked up himself and though times have changed and age takes its toll, Juan's love of' music is something no one can take away.

Since the main highway runs up on the Florida Mesa and mostly local travelers use the bridge, it receives little attention. Perhaps a few of the old-timers of that area remember how it got its name. Weazel Skin was a Ute who settled on a tract of land in the Animas Valley in the 1880 1 s. · He raised sheep and goats and developed a profitable farm and ranch operation on the river. Weazel's English name was Hickey Williams. One cf his daughters who grew up on the ranch was Susan Williams. Susan married John Russel, a Capote, whose Spanish name was Marsalino, The Russels lived on the Weazel Skin Ranch and·had four daughters; Daisey, Maggie, Edna and Sara, Edna remembers going to Durango in a buggy to see the fair and for shopping. irwe liked to ride the street car from one end of Main to the other. Once my mother left a diaper bag on the car and we had to wait till it made a complete round before· we could retrieve it, 11 iWhen Edna was still a young girl, her family moved onto the Spanish Fork Ranch where Spring Creek enters the Pine River near La Boca, Edna went to school here for a few years, then was transfered to the Indian School at Santa Fe. Then she was sent to Sherman Institute at Riverside California to finish high School. There she met Indian students from all over the country. 11 We ·were given a choice of pre-vocational training at Sherman. I tried nurse I s training a.nd dry cleaning. I liked both of them and both have been useful since then. At first I didn't believe I'd like the nursing. A nurse sees so many sad and stomach-turning things, But, soon I began to see the other side of it. Sick and injured people are just people who need help and the .feeling you get from helping them is just great. 11 · Edna's years in California were great too. _ \, .. California in the 1920 1 s was a beautiful, uncrowded place with its clean air and tropical plants and mountains by the sea. From Riverside to Los Angelos were large open country areas, not all city like today. 11 We. went to Catalina Island and rode the glass bottom boat. We went to the amusement Park at Long Beach. I remember how I screamed when we rode the roller coaster out over the ocean. We went to Ti Juana to see the bull fights. The arena then was a beautiful log structure." When Edna finished her nurses training she worked at Dulce, then at Towaoc then at the Taylor Hospital in Ignac1o. Min.~le Cloud and I were some of the first one hired there. We cleaned and cleaned the building and made towels and baby clothes until it was opened. Soon afterward Edna married Cassimero Baker. They had two sons· Archie and Dusty. When the army started building up Ft. Carson Cassie and Edna moved to Colorado Springs and Cassie worked on construction projects on the base. During the War Edna was a welder in an airplane factory operated by Universal Electric at Colorado Springs. She enjoyed +he work very much. Finally~ she and her boys came back to Ignacio and she worked in the Taylor Hospital until it closed in 1955. · 11 Even when we moved back to Ignacio, I sent my boys to the public school because I wanted them to learn to get along with all kinds of people. 11 · After the Taylor Hospital closed Edna worked for hospitals in Denver and in Colorado Springs for a "while, th~n she re.turned to Durango where she •Worked at Mercy and Community Hospitals -until she retired. 11 I always liked my work in the hospitals. Such nice people to work with. It was a new world e~ry week·. We were always in training or going �to nurse's workshops and conventions and having dinners. I worked side by side with all kinds including foreign students and trainees. I really miss it. But I still have many friends in Durango and Colorado Springs --~ whom I visit whenever I can. 11 . .Archi-e worked harc¼nd went through training for ai.:to mechanics.
