Even though the machine they :were watching was still far down the road, the boys coul_d hear its rhyt.hr:J.ic pop-pop-popping as it approached. A lone figure in -the ~uto sat very straight, holding stiffly to the steering bar. The boys were excited because they were encountering their first automobile. They would have been more excited had they known they were about to see their first auto wreck. The driver, approaching at a fast clip, was unaware of a stretch of eeep sand in the road, The hard front wheels sunk into the sand; the steering bar jerked from the driver 1 s hands; and as the boys stared .in fascination, the auto promptly capsized. Hastings, a town of about 4,000 in southern Michigan ,was a good place to live in 1898. Located mid-way between the cities of Chicago and Detroit, it was an especially good place for a curious teen-age boy to observe the mechanization and scientific revolution occurring in America. The town was surrounded by rolling, forested hill s with rnai;iy clear streams running thI'ough the country-side. A person c ould hardly travel a mile in any direction without finding a pond or lake. George was born there on October 22, 1886, the son of Martha and Willian Hams. William was a carpenter, then started a grocery and bakery and did well with these businesses. 11 We al~ays had plenty to eat, 11 George remembers, 1 ' beca:use many of the farmers who traded in the store di dn 't have any cash and would pay for their supplies with meat or fruit or other garden produce. Our meat house was always _full of hams and turkeys. The Hams bought a summer cabin on Gunn Lake near Hastings. George, his brother William, and their mother spent the summers at the lake. It was a grand life for a boy. The long summer days were occupied with fishing, swimming, boating and playing with friends. On week-ends ~,r. Hams would travel out to the lake in an open buggy with an umbrella top. . As fall approached, the family moved back to town for school enrollment . Mr. Hams bought wood and set the boys to splitting it. 11i-'te mainly used maple, oak and beech for firewood. Even after we installed a coal furnace, mother used wood in t he cook stove. 11 Every fall the Hams gathered walmuts , butternuts and hazelnuts. George liked some fun with his nut gathering . After a freeze he liked to climb carefully into the branches of a nut tree overhanging a path er lane and wait for someone to come along. At the strategic moment he would jump vigorously up and down on the branches and bomb the daylignts out of his victims. As it is today, winter was a marvelous time for kids. 11We would sharpen our skates like razors and race up and down the river or around the ponds near town. · If we wanted to ski, we usually ties barrel staves to our feet; or if we wanted something better, we took elm wood to the engineer at the furnlture factory. He steamed and shaped the wood. Then we tacked old shoes to the boards and had a pretty fair set of skis. Each fall Mr. Hams traded supplies to one of the farmers for ten gallons of wine which he kept in a barrel in the cellar. What boy could resist sampling it? George surely didn 1 t. One day he and Lee Canfield sneaked into the cellar and sampled and sampled and sampled. 11 We got sick, 11 George remembers. George has good memories of school days. · He was an honor student most of the time. He admits to getting into mischief (some of which he • �- ·- ·- j .,. 3 ;;i_ ' II _ ' • won I t tell a bout), but does a dmit to playing ''Penny ot\. a Board with '1 greenhorns who moved into Hastings. To play "Penny oft a Board" George · would bring out a pile of sand on a shingle, push a penny into the pile and s et it on the ground. Severa l youngsters, including the greenhorn lined up a ways from the pile anq on the count of three raced to see who could get the penny. Actually , the innocent-looking sand pile was . more than sand. It was a pile of very fresh cow dung or other manure covered with sand. As you can guess, .the greenhorn was allowed to win and "Wound up with more than h e coul~ handle. · In 1905' GeoI'ge's father sold out i n Michigan and moved to Lake Arthur, New Mexico, south of Rosi·rnll where he bought a hardware and lumber business. Since George had only one year of high scheol left to finish , he was allowed to remain in Hastings. After high School George was apprenticed to a pharmacist in Grand Rapids. He rented a small apartment nearby and began his training . George dated a pretty little girl named Amy Belle Cope who came into the drugstore occasionally. Amy wo±-ked at the Fox Typewriter Co . in GrandRapids. On dates George and attended silent mcvies, burlesque shows and the circus (AI::ty especially liked the side shows) . Vaudevulle s hows were $.35 in the e-yening and ~t.15 in the afternoon . They made frequent visits to ice cream parlors, ra.rely to reataur ants. George and Amy were married in 1910 . In 1911 Vi ola was· borJt. She was their only child. Amy The Hams made occasional trips to visit his parents in New 1-foxico. Cars had become quite common, but good roads were rare . They have vivid memories of trips across the plains . vI'nile crossir,ig Oklahoma on one t rip the Hams came t o a region ,,r hich had been soaked with heav-.1 rain. 'ltJhen t hey got bogged at the bottom of a hil l, Amy agreed to get out and pu sh. Once the car got going, George couldn 1 t stop. Not only was Amy s plattered with mud f r om head to foot , she also had to walk all the way up the hill through deep mud to r each the car. Another time the Hams had completely bogged dm,m in a mud hole and were feel ing hopeless until four young men on motorcycles appeared. The cyclists got off their machines, walked over to the car(one to each fender) picked the car up·with the Hams s till inside, set it on firm ground and left. In 1920 when Viola was about 9, Amy contractei tuberculosis. The doctors recommended that she go to a dry climate like new Hexico for treatment. A year later she was pronounced cured •. If 10 year old Viola h~dn't asked f or an i ce cream cone a s t hey passed through Hagerman , N.H., on t heir ·way back: holile to Grand Rapids) the Hams family might still be in Michigan. George stopped, went in to the drug store for t he ice cream and discovered the store was for sale. He bought it on the spot. Life in Hagerman on the legendary Pecos River was quite different from life in Grand Rapids. The Harns bought a place near the Russel Ranch and became good friends of the Russel family, who proved to be invaluable help when most any problem arose. George_got a few cows to raise. When it came time for one of the calves to be weaned from its mother, Amy had trouble. Mrs. Russel, who weighed about 200 lbs., came over to help. She stepped astride the shoulders of the calf, grasped its head and ears and forc ed its head into the bucket. "If it gets balky any more , just do that, 11 Hrs. Russel advised. The next day Amy decided to try force feeding t he calf. It had not occurred to her ·tha.t a differencl:! in weight of 110 lbs. would matter. Ai-ny, who weighed only 90 lbs . got astride the calf and got the ride of her life. Any had �lf as good a sense of humor about this as about the nud. George O!:Jerated the .drug store in Ha.german- from 1921 till 1946. Though he preferred not to be,he was considered a counter doctor by many of the residents of the area. George and An.y seweo. up more peo:ol~ than they like to remember. none man had such -8. large k..""lif e wound~ we could 2ee his heart beating. 11 As in all parts of the country duriI!g the great depression, many transients ca::ie through Hagernan. 11We never refused anyone a prescription, money or no Boney. One fanily passing through asked for medicine for a siclc baby. Years later we received. a letter from them with money for the prescription.I? Viola moved to Ignacio in the 1940' s. 1'H1en the Hams cane to visit, the green trees and flowing streams brought back memories of 1-!ichiean. They had always cissed the green countryside while living on the dry !)lains. In 19l+6George and .A:my bought, 40 acres north of Ignacio 5 reI11odeled the house and spent many hapryy years here.

At the crest of a small rise the clear swift Navajo River came into view. The shouts · of the children and the smile on their mother's face were signs almost as plain as the warmth of the day that the long cold mountain winter was over and once again the time of new life and renewal had begun. The wagon stopped on a grassy rise near the river. The mother gave swift directions. 11 Ben, unhitch the team. Conrado, unload the wagon. M~nuel, gather some firewood. Lucio, get a pail of water right away. 11 The Cruzes were camped at the river several times a year for a very simpl~ reason. When you can't take the river to the wash, you take the wash to the river. Bedding, quilts, mattress covers, clothing,curtains,· and every other washable item in the house hold was brought the eight miles to the river several times a year, i.va.shed by hand in the rocky shallows on the washboard, dried, folded and carried home smelling sweetly of mountain air and sunlight. Each wash requixed 3-4 days . The boys fished, hunted, waded in the river, frolicked, ate like mules, helped with the washing chor~d when necessary and. enjoyed the whole affair. Conrado Desiderio (C.D.) Cruz, 2nd son of Leandro and Rafelita Cruz was born in Chimayo, N.M. on February 19, 1914. The fa mily moved to Chama, then to Haines north of. Cuba and finally to Dul ce ·where Leandro worked in a lumber mill. Leandro wanted land of his owno When he heard about a homestead available near the town of Edith, he took the chance and filed on 160 acres of dry land. Soon after the Cruzes settled on their land, their neighbors came in force, chopped down trees, hauled logs and helped erect a well-constructed, warm log house. This same cooperative spirit prevailed during the rest of the year. 11 0ur neighbors watched one another's fields. Wherever the wheat ripened first, the whole neighborhood would gather for the harvest. The wheat was cut with hand s cyt hes and tied i n small bundles. As soon as one fiel d was finished, t he ",'.Orkers would move to the next ripe field. If the moon was bright, t he men often stayed with t he job until 12:00 or 1 :oo. We enjoyed hel pin g our neighbors and got a lot of work done together. I think people were happier then. 11 The Cruzes raised most of what they ate potatoes,beans~habas, squash, peas, blue corn, fruit, wheat,oats and blue corn. Whenever they needed flour, they and their neighbors would take several wagon loads of wheat and corn to the mill at Bayfield 9r the one at Tierra Amarilla. It would take several days to reach the mill and then perhaps a week for the grain to be ground. Those who had money paid for the grinding. Those who had no money could pay the miller with grain. It was a good thing the Cruzes raised their own wheat. C.D. says with a family of eleven it was common to use up a 50 lb. sack of flour each week. Garden produce was either dried or kept in the cellar. Dried apples, apricots and peaches were apportioned out to the children during the winter. The children relished these fruits as .much as any Sunday sucker. C.D. did not get to attend school every year and when he did, it was usually for only 2-3 months in the winter. He rode a burro to aschool 8 miles across the border in Colorado , carrying hay _for the animal and lunch for himself in a 3 lb. lard can. 11 1 wasn't any angel," C.D. freely I �. . admits. 11 Whenever the teacher sent a student to the river for wj_llows, it was usually me or Ben ·they were used on. 11 When it came to throwing r ocks, dipping a girl 1 s pigtails in ink, getting into fights or playing hockey, it was C.D. involved more often than not. A girl named Margie Abeyta was a special problem to C. D. I! She ·was a bookworn and a tattletale. Even when I hadn't done anything, she would tell on me and the teacher would always believe he:r.n C.D. hated old Margie as only children can hate. He would never have believed it if anyone had ever told him that Margie would one day be his wife. ) During the summers C.D. and Ben were assigned to herd the sheep in the hills near their home. C .,D. 11 suffered 11 from a strange affliction which can only be called 11 sleeping sickness 11 • 11 .As soon as ·we 1 d get the flock over the first hill, I'd find a s hady patch of bushes, lie down and go to sleep. 11 Ben complained, . Hr . Cruz t hreatened, but Co D. couJ.dn' t resist t he lure of his siestas. 11 Dad caught me one day, took me straight to the house and told Mother to put me t o bed and keep me there all day. I couldn't sleep a wink in the house. I guess that broke me.n Over the years Leandro and Ra.felita slowly inq:reas13d their flock until they a.ad· about 1 ,ooo head. C.D. r emembers November of 1931 . The lambs had been separated and taken d otm fro m the high c ountry . The e,·m s were still there. No one expected 7 feet of snow that wi n t er , much les s did t hey expect it to start t his early. Over n ight 3-4 fee t fell . The herdsmen s tarted immed.:i.ately for their w1nter grounds in Gobernador Ca.nyon. I t continued to snm·1. 11 We broke a trail for tl;l.e flock with the horses and mules until their legs ·were sore and bleeding. · Every day many sheep dlod. He finally realized the snow was as deep at Gobernador as it Wc"cS in the mountains and just gave 'lp. Only about 50 sheep survi•ved. That winter just about wiped out everybody. 11 ~ One year C.D. 1 s cousin, who had bought 10 acres on the Navajo River, hired him and Ben to clear the willoi.vs. They worked 1 5 days f o:c a • 22 r ifle and a guitar; t hen another 5 days for a violin. Nei ther of the boys had ever played an i nstrument before., nor was there a nyone to give t hem lessons) but they taught themselves to play and soon were being h ired for parties, weddings and other celebrations. Wr.1.en times got har d in the '30 1 s, C. D. joined the CCC and wa~ sent to camp a t Los Alamos, NoM. He was paid $25.00 per month. $20.00 was sent h ome and the other $5.00 was issued to the boys in the form of coupons for candy, cigarets, etc. The boys were often given passes to Espanola or Albuquerque o:r Santa Fe for the weelrnnds, but anyone who had not returned to camp by bed check was put on KoP. for 2-3· months. Conrado was on K.P. a lot of the time. · When C. D. and ifargie Abeyta (his old enemy from grade ssl1.ool) dec1ded to get married, both sets of parents were opposed. Tb.eir reasoning was sj_mply that a horse and a mule shouldn't get ma1 ried. C,D. was known as a. hell-raiser and Margie uas a school teacher and pretty much the same book worm as before; but inspite of the OPlJOsition, t hey were married in 1935, C.D. worked as a logger while Eargie taught s chool. From 1939-48 C.D. herded sheep in Utah from sprirg to late fall and spent the winters at home. They had four children"".' Ivonne, DavJ.d, Sofie and Deanne. Margie died in 1955. 1 After working in the coal mines in Dragerton, Utah, and on the pipelines near FarmiD;gton, C.D. moved to Ignacio and married Concie Keys �3 in 1960. They have one daughter, Kathy. Today, C. D. still plays his violin for weddings and parties c:md has a good ttme wherev_er he goes. Like his fa ther-:i.n-la.1.,r, Louie Valencia, he 1 s a good guy with a little bit of the devil in him.

She was very excited and a little fri ghtened. to be going so far from home. Haskell Institute, a secondary school for Indian children was located in Lal,Tence, Kansas. With the help of the B.I .A. superintendent, Sunshine was enrolled at Haskell . She rode the train to Alamosa and in the . evening boarded a Union Pacific Pullman for Kansas. After ~:upper a porter appI'oached her and said, "Little girl, your berth is ready. 11 Sunshine slept, occasionally awakened by the roar of passing ~rains and the screeching of brakes as the train stopped in sma11· plains towns. In the early morning hours, the porter came to her berth and said, "Little girl we're a.lmost there. 11 Sunshine dressed quickly and in a few minutes_ the train stopped and let her off. She was greeted by two girls from Haskell who told her they were to be her big sisters until she was settled in the new school. Haskell was a wonderful place. '.l'here were Indian students there from dozens of tribes all over the country. There were Senecas, Otoes, Fo.ttawa tomies, Pa,mees, Qreeks, Papagos and many more. Sunshine enjoyed the school band and the football team (which beat the University of Kansas) and especially enjoyed the 11 Indian Club. 11 The club was intended to preserve Indian history and culture. It produced pageants depictine Tribal histoTy for fairs and other public event~-· _ p!J.n?hi1:ie__ _ ·says -FritzBox -was· there and -wa-f a mer.iber of a·· band Eall ed tl1e "Hi ght Hawks 11 • Sunshine worked part tim·e in a hospital in Lawrence and considered going on to nursing school. One o.f the nurses in the hospital took such a liking to Sunshine that she even offer·ed to pay her way t.h1'ough nurses training in Independence,Hissouri. Sunshine~s parents, however, had other ideas. They decided she had been far away from home long enough. She spent summer at home and after ~onsiderable thought decided to go t o college at the University of ::e·w Mexico. · Sunshine took many courses in Home Economics and Art, but the eourse she enjoyed most was probably hoI'seback riding. She had to act a little inexperienced to get into the course, but the truth was Sunshine had ridden horses all her life and loved it • .As a child she had ridden a horse to school in good weather and ·bad. The I·gnacio school had a stable ,,rhere the horses could eat their oates a'.na. rest for the ride home. By the time school was out both students a.nd horses were Hfeeling their oates 11 • Sunshine recalls, 11 \ve often raced our · 11 horses all the way home. Her love for horses and riding ·was a natural outgrowth of her father's race horse ventures. Ed1-n.n Cloud mmed several rac e horses,.hired men to train them, entered them at Cortez, Farmington, Montrose and 1.fonte Vista and made good money at it. His best horse was called Bumblebee. Sunshine ·remembers crying to ride Bumblebee at the age of 8 or 9. Except for learning to jump horses over fences and hedges, tho horseback riding course served mainly as recreation. earned/ In the summers Sunshine money ,wrking in the Ed C. Taylor Hospital in Ignacio. Later she worked at the hosni tal at Tm,,aoc. :Fra.ncj_s Buck was the secretary for Superintendent lfoS;:iadden. Whenever he would come to Towaoc, Francis came, too, and she and Sunshine would have a good visit. · 1 In the early 194-0 s Sunshine moved to Nuncie,Indiana and workGd for the Owens-Illinois Glass Co. which·made land mines. She made friends ��.d.. , . . wi t.h a group of ladies who beg·an tal1dng about joining the W.A.C. 's, F::cnally, they talked themselves into joining. Basic training at Ft. Des Moines, I 01,ra, was in the hf.~a t of mid-summer, It included K.P. duty and drill on a blisterinz parade ground •. After basic training Sunshine was given the blitz course for surgical technician. From there she was stationed at a hosnital on Staten Island. 8he well remet'1bers the damp cold ol that . winter. P.O. W. 1 s were imprisoned in a nearby compound. l!Every· mor~ing one of the prisoners was sent into our barracks to build our morning fire." Sunshine ·worked a while at a hospital in Utica, New York, and then was sent back to Staten Island for convoy duty. This was a· 2L1- hour duty to receive the sick and wounded who were arriving back in the U.S. Sor:ie of these men had b een involved in t he European war for years. "Many of them cried when they got off the ships, they were so glad t o be back in their own country. Some would ask to be taken off t he stretchers so they could kiss the ground. We would get them. settled in the hospital and tr~en allow them one free telephone call to their folks. It was all a very emotional and touching experience. 11 After this Sunshine uas given tre.ini:ng in occupationnl the1·apy, the field in whi ch she worked · until she was dischar ged in 1 94 5'. By then sl1e had rea ched the r ank of T-4-, Tec:hr1ical Sergeant .· Sunshine was very happy to r eturn to Ignacio. "The thing I missed the most was the mountains. 11 She uorlced for a while at . the girl's do1'm and while there became acquainted with· a fellm•l doing construe. ~ i o n 'l.·l02.'"k n!'l:d pninting--on -the campus. Sun-sM.ne 2.nd Diamond -£mi ch were oarried and soon afterward movetl to Calif ornia, but not just to Calif orni2. - to Hollywood. They J.i ved in Holly"\.mod Hills overlool{ing the whole beau.-~iful metro are?. of Los Angeles. Sunshine wouldn't mind living there a.gain if it ,rnre as clean and uncro1·1ded as it was r::·. thenp In 19L1-7 Surn.?hine I s only child, Gayla, ·was born. They lived \.,.;· in San Diego and Bullhead City, Arizona,a ~iliila before coming back to Ignacio. Iri 1950 Sunshine ':;·as elected to the Tribal Council. It was s,n interesting transitional period. for the tribe. During the preceeding <lGcades the B. I. A. Super:1.nt8nclents had generally man2 ge d the affairs of the tribe in a paterna.list-ic manner~ 0xpecting t he tr j_bal council to act merely as yes nen. About this time the council s 1-:iftly changed this. They b0gan meeting separately- rathe:r t han und0r the watc b.ful eye of the superintendent and soon enough began to act independently on all matter related to tribal , olicy and welfare. SometiY.'.le during 1952-54 the Southern Ute Tribe won their land cJ.aim case and ·was . award.ed a very large slim of money. It became thG job of Sunshine, Eddie Box, Fritz Box, Jack Frost, Julius Cloud. Sam Burch and other 'l'ribD,l leaders of that per:iod to create a program for administering the money. Of all the work required during those years it 1 s obvious Sunshine is most proud of one idea she put forth. IT was her idea to set up a trust fund for each Ute child. I'he young people in the tribe are still benefitting from her fores5-ght. . When asked about the old days, Sunshine Days there 1-rt?re more farx:1ers and mo1·c livestock in the country then. lfore people gre•.r 1rl1eat tmd oates and other c:r.:-ops, and neighbors hel:oed one another. She reme!::::.ber.s fondly their neighbors - the Washingtons, Joneses, Stones, Holinsons and others. 11 Hy fath~r would helJ:i then wj_th their harvesting and then they would come help him ·wj_th his. He didn 1 t think of our neighbors as Imelos or Indians, but just as people.

Suddenly, the boy ducked behind the pile and hissed at his sister to do the same. A t all man in blue pants and coat exa mined t he luggage and the children closely as he rode by on a c hes tnut horse. 11 Don't you know t hat 1 s a policeman, 11 the boy said. Marian and Ethan had just arrived in Chicago with their mother . Everything was unfamiliar and a little frightening. Like many country people of that era the children were nervous and suspicious of town people. Their mother had left them to watch the luggage while she looked for a means of t r ansporting it from one railway sta.tion to another across tovm. Moving was not a new experience for the Wrights, but they had never moved so far. The family had lived in many different places in Michigan. Now they were going to Colm~ado. Eve. Marian Wright was born August 3, 1902, i n Cass County, Southern Michigin. It is hilly, very green, fo res ted country f u ll of clear, flowing streams and "lots of bugs 11 , Marian remembers o Her father, Carl tOJ.} Eugene Wright and her mother , Myrta (Hogue) Wri ght moved frequently doing carpenter work and sales in various communities in southern Michigan. The home Marian remembers b.e st i-s the· country mill her father bought. The mill was four stories high.· The upper two stories were for grind:lng flour and the lower two were for grinding feed grist f or cattle and chickens. Tbe mill w:;is powered by a turbj_ne fed by flumes running from the three streams in the valley. It was a beautiful place. When the children were not needed to work in the mill they were assigned to fish in tpe nearby streams to supply meat for the famil y o Marian and Ethan never became bored with this s.ssignment. Since Mr . Wright was not licensed to grind flour? most of his time was spent grinding grist f eed for animals. Most of his business c ame i n t he fall, but a f ew farmers came during the rest of the ye ar. The wrigh ts acquired t wo prized ani mals with the mill. One was a horse which was e speciall y good nat ured. No one needed to even touch the rein s to get him t o t own . Ther e was, hm•1ever, one place he wauld not pull the buggy. He had fallen t hrough a bridge once and he would not cross a bridge unless someone walked across before him. The other prized animal was a tiger striped mother cat and her litters. They were es sential in keeping down the rodent population around the grain in the mill. One of the tomcats liked to go fis hing with the children. If they were slow to catch a fish to throw to him, the tomcat would wade out into the stream, hook a fish with his claws and enjoy his feast. · School was only about 1½ miles away, but when the snow stood 3-4 feet deep , it was sometimes difficult to make the trip. No one seemed to know anything a bout skiis or sno·wshoes in that area at that time. At 5 yea r s of age i•far i a...'1 shrrtP.d to pre-school, which in those days was cal:Led. primer cl ass . Children we:.:en ' t expecte9- to learn t o r ead in primer clas s , but Marian did . He1~ father had instilled in her a love f or reading from an eaI·ly age. Coal was expensive in southern Mi chi gan , so the Wrights chopped a lot of wood for t he wi~tcr. On t h~ l a.nd adjacent to the .mill Mr. Wright raised oates and a little barley and wheat. Occasionally, he raised buckwheat for cakes. When the crops were ripe, Carlton would hire a steam powered thrashing machine and its crew. Marian and Ethan were �.. :fascinated by the steam powered machinery and.often would follow the thrashing machines from field to field to watch the crews at work. · I They can remember getting up at 3:00 A. M. one morning to stoke the steam engine for the crew. Always, Carlton had bees for honey and a good garden for produce. The mill and the garden provided for the needs of the family. A little extra cash, however is always useful, Ethan had a part time job which was the envy of other young boys in the area. One of the neighbor l adies operat ed •a bird farm. She had 200 kinds of unus ual Amer ican bir ds, var i •ous game birds and exotic foreign kinds. The bird l ady could n ot possi bly f i ll all .the orders she received. E"tcp.tµi r eceived one dol l ar per day f or feeding, watering and cleaning cages. Occasi onal heavy r ai ny periods had caused floods which threatened t he mil l, but none di d any r eal damag~ until 1917. A hefty floJd tha t year destroyed all the f lumes leading to the mill. Carlton said, "Tha t .' s enough. We' r e going t o Colorado. 11 Colorado had been on their min ds for some time . Marian ' s mother had a cousin living at Tiffany who had been urging them to move out here. Carlton sold t~e place, boxed all their possessions and put the family on the train. Carlton himself went by auto by way of Wyoming to visit relatives before coming on to meet the family at Tiffany. The Wrights had never seen real mountains until they reached the plains east of·Denv~r on the train. Marian still remembers that first day she saw them. ·11 1 couldn't keep my eyes off them. I loved the mountains from that first day I saw them and I still do." The family changed to the narrow gauge at Alamosa and traveled over Cumbres Pass to Chama and Pagosa Junction to Tiffany. Marian thought she knew quite a bit about farming, but one practice at Tiffany baffled her . Coming from the lush, green c~untryside of Michigan·, she had never seen irri gating before. Mr. Wri ght bought J ake McJunkin' s farm located just west of the present day Dlaughter house including his crop and aniID_als. A year or two later Carlton acquired the ranch land several miles on-west of Ignacio where Marian still lives. Marian completed her sophomore and junior years here. The end of her junior year was disturbed by a dispute which seems a little ridiculous today, but which r eflects the attitudes of that t ime . Marian and her classmates heard that one of their f avorite teachers , Ra venna Groat, was being refused reemployment. by the s chool board. Mari an and Virginia Russell and others in their class met with the board to ask whether this were so. The board said, yes, they had fired Ravenna Groat for riding a horse in riding britches instead of a riding skirt. The junior class told the board they would not return to school if the board persisted in this action. The school board members doubted the students could afford to attend school in Durango, but most of them · got jobs, saved their money and did manage to enroll in Durango for their senior year. Actually this was a wise thing for them to do as the Ignacio school was not accredited at that time. Following graduation Marian attended a two week teacher's institute at Pagosa Springs and then took a stiff exam to receive a county teacher's certificate. This may seem like very little training (which it was), but Marian says it was a stiff exam and many people had to take the exam mor e than once to pass. Marian taught in various schJol around the county. She loved the work, though conditions were often less than ,_) i deal. Some of the buildings were completely uninsulated and haJ r"\ �3_ poor heaters. w'hen Cedar Grove school was closed against Marian 1 s object ions, s he started · a ''bootleg school " in her home on the· ranch. 11 Sqme of the students, 11 Harian explains , 11were walking 7 miles to Cedar Grove. How could t hey go several more mil es to another s chool? 11 Some f amilies would send one child to s tay wit h · Marian f or a week and then they ·would take that child home and send another ·one to learn all they could for a ·week. The schoolMarian remembers with most affection was the school in Thompson Park just this side of Mancos Hill. 11 The students there were so intelligent and decent and nice. I really enjoyed the time I taught school over there • 11 In 1928 the Frank Harmon family asked Marian to go with them to · Michigan and to help take care of the Harmon children on the trip. Marian ·was very happy to do this since she had not be,-:in able to return to visit relatives and see her birthplace since she had moved. On the return trj_p the Harmons stopped in Hamilton, Kansas, to see some relatives of theirs. There Marian met a. young man named Bowen Worford. He spe·nt quite a little time .driving the Harmon kids around to see their relatives in the area and Marian accompanied them. Before she left Bowen got Marian I s . address a.--i.d wrote to her during that summer and fall. Bowen had lived in Montana for a while before returning to Kansas and was eager to return to the mountains. At Christmas time Marian returned to Kansas and she and Bowen were married. The follow"ing April t hey came out to LaPlata County. Shortly after Bowen and Marian were married Mr.s. Har mon died. Aftera while the court aslced Marian and Bowen to take care of the two Harmon gj.1•1s. The girls stayed with the Worfords until they were grown. · Harian remembers with a chuckle the time their dog tried to 11 herd 11 Bowen 1 s Ford Coupe. Bowen and Marian took·the coupe over to Spring Creek to get a cow t.he:v· had bought . Their dog, a s hepherd and collie mix went along~ One o:~ them was dri:\ring the coupe and the other was out with the dog hording the cow·. When the cow made a sudden turn to escape, Bowen yelled, 11 get her" to the dog. Somehow 'ole Shep 1 s doggy brain got its wires crossed, apparently thinking Bowen :meant the coupe instead of the cow. The dog made a ferocious J.eap and bit the tire of the moving car . Of course, he got t hrown for a l oop by the whee l and that was the last time old Shep tried to herd a coupe. Bowen died i n 1967, but Marian· stays on the ranch.. I ~ 1 s in a remote area and t here are times it 1 s a little difficult to get in or out, so many people have urged Marian to move to t own . So far s he has refused. She loves her animals and the wildlife and the peace and quiet of the land. Beyond that the place is full of memorj.es of Bowen and her parents and of her first years here. For these reasons Marian's ties to the ranch are strong. We wish her many more years of happiness and peace. ~ff~~~ffi .0'~1Gtti·:~ by Shelby Smith ~f.~~II ~ ,... r.-! , ·->+-vcf'~ J.

Speaking at a special colloquium held at the university, Dr. Smith blamed lack of social interaction, more than any bio• logical, process of aging, .!}.S the reason that some people act "old." Dr. Smith cited experiments in· which people in their 20s and 30s began to exhibit certain behavior patterns attributed to older people. The characteristics emerged hours or days after consistently oeing ignored and made. to believe that they were superfluous by having their opinions discounted or ridiculed. The psychologist believes a person 11eeds to be sure of his role and convinced of his own importance. He needs a kind of mental Shangri-la. "As Jong as you remain in that meaningful warm valley," Dr. Smith says, ''that place where you still have some social power, you will not exhibit the characteristics of the aging. But once forced out of that Shangri-la,, once your capacity to affect the social environment is gone, the characteristics will begin to appear." i / _/.

It was October 17, 1886. Little Harry was a strong, healthy boy. At that time most of the Utes could still hunt with bows and arrows and as Harry grew up he was taught t o make his own weapons and to hunt the old way. In those days there were only a very few Mexicans and Anglos in the area. A few agency pftople and one or two store owners and their families were here . Otherwise tribal members had the land to· themselves . As a child and a young man Harry led a life most American children would envy today. He fished and hunted He learned the crafts and traditions of his people, participating in the dances and feasts . He helped his father and grandfather and played boyhood games all the while untroubled by the shadow of school . All good things seem to have a way of ending . In 1899 when Har ry was 13 his grandfather put an end to the free and ea~y l ife . Onehalf mile north of the agency was a mission school taught by the blacksmith ' s daughter. Harry went .. The best thing he remembers about school that year was the two week Christmas vacation . He had no idea what plans his grandfather had for him for the following.school year . "One day a man I ' d never seen before showed up at our place . My grandfather told me I was going with him to the Ft. Lewis School to learn English. I didn ' t know anything about it until they told me to get into the wagon . There wasn't any chance to run away or anything . " Harry went to school two years at Ft . Lewis . He learned English, farming techniques and a few other subjects . "That was enough school for me," Harry states. At the age of 18 Harry decided it was time to earn some money of ~is own . His f irst job was with the agency. It was hard work, often with a pick and shovel, but a person couldn't be choosey. Jobs weren ' t too plentiful . To the best of his memory, Harry earned $1.25 per day. That doesn't sould like much, but $ . 25 would buy a lot of groceries in 1905. By t~en Harry was living on Spring Creek and rode a horse to work every day . i it was a fairly long ride and tiresome, especially when there was farm work to do at home, too. When asked how he met his wife, Harry smiled and said, "It was different then. If you wanted to marry a girl, you would go ask her father . He might say ' no ' or he might say 'yes'. If he said 'yes'~ he would call his daughter out and you would take her home with you and you were married . 11 S.ometimes the girl's mother or grandmo ther would object to the match . When that happened, the grandmother might put the couple to the smoke test. This consisted of putting the couple in a teepee, building a s moky fire inside the teepee and sealing up the tent flaps . As the teepee fil l ed with smoke, eyes smartee and breathing became difficult . If the boy broke out for fresh air before the time allotted by the grandmother, shP. ran him off and he couldn't come back. If he . endured the smoke until the grandmother was satisfied, she would open the teepee and the couple was free to marry . Harry married Mary Tobias . Unfortunately, Mary died about 3 years later and there were no children. Afterward Harry moved to Taos and mar ried a tribal member there . A daughter was soon born . Harry likes the Taos people very much and still goes occasionally to visit his daughte and her children . After about three years in Taos, he moved back to the �., Pine River Valley. ·Personal travel was very slow when Harry was young. A trip to the J Uinta Reservation in Utah required 15 days with a horse and buggy. For this reason, when trips were made, people stayed a while·. Time for another one probably wouldn 1 t come for some while. Harry's brother Bob was appointed Tribal judge and held that post for several years. Whenever Bob was needed to hear a case, the tribal police would have to ride a horse out to Spring Creek to bring him in. After a while this became so inconvenient that the tribe suggested that Bob and Harry take an assignment of land nearer the town. The new assigned land is about 2 miles east of town and Harry has lived there ey:e:r si[!ce • .About 13 years ago Bob and Harry wer e given an unusual opportunity. They were offered the chance to adopt a baby boy. Most -men in their 60 1 s would not be interested in giving their lives to the care of a child. Many would not feel competent, but Bob and Harry did. They raised little Ross from an infant, loved him and gaye him good care. The County Welfare Department questioned the sui tability of this arrangement several times, but could find no fault with the care Eob and Harry were giving the baby. Bob died in 1972. Harry and Ross still live on the farm. When Harry is not gardening, he is involved in craft work for which he and all his people should be proud. Harry makes bows, arrows, spears, dru~s, and feathered ornaments for use on ceremonial occassions. His work is very beautiful and valuable. Not many people·skilled in these crafts '\ remain. Harry is looking forward to his 89th birthday this fall. That's getting pretty old, but Harry doesn't act it. He stilL works his garuen and gets around very well. We wish him many more peaceful, happy and productive years. by Shelby Smith REMEMBERED When I shall quit this mortal shore And mosey round on earth no more, Don1 t weep, don 1 t sigh, don't sob I may have found a better job. Don't go and buy a fancy boquet For which you find it hard to pay; Don 1 t mope around and feel all blue, I may be better off than you. Don 1 t tell folks I was a saint or chant a dirge in accents quaint, Please hand it out before I'm dead. Ir you have roses, bless my soul. Just pin one in my buttonhole While I'm alive and well today Don't wait until I've passed away.

Author unkno·wn Mrs. 'Wilda CrtgJ.er a.nd her daughter Mrs. Thelma Jones from Indio, 13.lifornia are spending the summer in Ignacio. They are living in Hrs. J·u.lia Engler's home. Nrs. Crigler's son Connard Burks and Mrs. Burks came with them from Baldwin Park, California and then went on to visit her relatives in Kansas and Oklahoma. The Criglers were longtime Ignacio residents coming here from Craig in 1921. Both Thelma and Connard graduated from Ignacio High. Mr. Crigler - P.J. - was the Rio Grande Western Station agent in Ignacio for 32 years. In those days there were two passenger trains a day and any number of freight trains a month. While living in Ignacio the Criglers built six new homes and remodeled two others and were among the first residents to put bathrooms in their homes. Later they built two new houses by Columbus bridge, above Bayfield. During the years in Ignacio the family took an active part in the community. Hr. Crigler died in November 1972. With the exception of four summers they have spent every summer in the Ignacio-Bayfield area.

Try simple exercise and herbal teas to relax. 5) Sure reeipes for s]eep Many people stay awake only ·when they have something profoundly worrying them, have eaten too late or have overeaten. Cold feet. poor breathing habits and bad circulation also cause sleeplessness. But most insomniacs are clever, creative people who simply cannot - or will not - let their minds stop working. There are ways to retrain the too-active mind: Before going to bed, do a little exercise - some stretching at least; get into a full warm tub, or take a cold foot bath or sitz" bath; pop into bed; drink an herb tea. Breathe deeply three or four times, holding the last breath as long as you can; repeat several times. Lying on your back. slowiy and precisely concentrate on your feet. Say to yourself, ''lily feet are heavy." Think of each part of your ·body in the same way: legs, stomach, chest, arms, neck. lips, nose, eyes, head. If you have thoroughly concentrated, you can fall asleep immediately. If you still are slightly awake, lift your right foot, tense it, relax it suddenly; repeat with the left. Lift your right hand, clench it, drop it suddenly; repeat with the left. Tighten your face in a grimace, then relax. If you are still resisting, mentally write the number 3 - as slowly as you can three times; you should be fast asleep seconds later. Since relaxed sleep is one of the keys to good health, all great herbalist-healers are preoccupied with sleeping aids. A cold one- to three-minute foot bath with water up to the calves, according to 19th-century· herbalist Father Kneipp, will "cure fatigue and produce sound and wholesome sleep." He also claims a cold three- to five-minute semibath - either kneeling in water so the thighs are covered, or sitting in water up to the stomach "regulates circulation, expels unhealthy gases, and makes the body impervious to catching colds." Calcium and vitamin D are nature's most readily available nightcaps. Warm a glass of whole or skim milk, add a taqlespoon of honey: The calcium tranquilizes; the honey helps the body retain fluids, thus keeping the kidneys from alerting you during the night. Many herbs are used as nightcap teas. Add 1 teaspoon to a cup of boiling water. steep 15 minutes, strain. Add honey if you like - particularly if getting up frequently is a problem. The most effective herb sleepproducer in my view is valerian; it was prescribed to relieve strain brought on by air raids in World War II. Peppermint tea is delicate and aromatic. Chamomile tea is a traditional tranquili,zer. Aromatic woodruff can greatly improve, even prolong, one's sleep. To make tea, use hot - not boiling - water. Sage tea plus honey brings on a sense of calm. We had a "sleep jar" when I was a child that contained a teaspoon of sage and rosemary to every 2 tablespoons of peppermint; use 1 teaspoon of the combined herbs for a cup of tea. Early American settlers used both red bergamot and pennyroyal teas for relaxed sleep. Lemon balm tea removes spasms and '' ~ - ~~ ~~ tensions that prevent sleep. Cowslips have been used for centuries in England for nightly tea. American herbalist Jethro Kloss advises a warm bath and hot tea for immediate sleep. He suggests lady's slipper, valerian, catnip, skullcap or hops steeped in a cup of boiling water for 20 minutes. Kloss says these herbs· induce sleep and t,one up the stomach and nerves. Hot lemonade or grapefruit juice, with or without honey, is an excellent substitute. The Germans use ground anise with honey in warm milk as their bedtime drink. The Dutch use tablet of aniseed in a glass of l-. milk. Grated nutmeg, lemon and boiling water can be used . . Dr. Deforest Jarvis, author of "Folk Medicine," prefers apple, grape and cranberry juices to citrus juices. He also suggests a daily drink of 2 teaspoons cider vinegar in a glass of water before breakfast. This is marvelous for getting the body started and is an effective cure for constipation - another problem that can affect sleep. Did your grandmother have a sleep pillow - a tiny herb cushion covered with gay fabric? These are good for invalids and anyone in need of extra help in sleeping. Crush the dried leaves of lavender, rosebuds, or any pleasantsmelling herbs; add a fixitive; enclose in two men's handkerchiefs. (The pillow should be quite flat.) :Make a washable "pillowcase" of colorful fabric. Pin to the bed-pillow ticking. �POW~WOW - - 0 The Fourcorners Inter-Tribal POW-WOW will be held at Mancos on Saturday, July 27, 1974. ,About a thousand dollars in prizes will be offered to participants, Dancing: will be held from 2 P.M. to 5 P.M.

NELSON & ENOLA Ten year old Nelson and his family had bedded down for the night. Their covered wagon was parked beside the trail, its huge wheels braced with rocks on the sloping meadow. The hobbled team was silent. Soft snores came from the tents. Unknown to the family, large flakes of snow had begun to fall. Suddenly, the silence of night was broken by the drumming of hoofs and the clatter of wagon wheels on the rocky mountain trail. A voice out of the night shouted, "Wake up! Wake up! J:.t ":11 all fall at once. Get off the pass! 11 The family came alive. By the.time cooking utensils and camping gear were thrown into the wagon and the team hitched, several inches of snow had settled to the ground. Though the crest of the pass was only a few hundred yeards up the trail, the snow was slick on the rocks and the high altitude made the horses heave f:or breath. Desperate slow progress was made until one ·of the young boys, leaning over the right front side of the wagon. seat , lost his balance and fell to the ground in front of the wagon wheel, forcing the wagon to stop. Once stopped , Mr. Mackey never moved it a.gain. The sharp crest of the pass was only 40 yards away, but the horses were winded and could do no more. Nelson's father unhitched one of the horses and rode o~f into the night. Mrs. Mackey and the children gathered rocks as a base for a fire in the wagon and closed the flaps. By mid- morning of the next day Mr. Mackey and some loggers he found do'\im the mountainside, returned with two teams with bob-sleds. The family unloaded all they could and travel 30 miles down the pass to the small to"m of Crooked River, Oregon where they spent the rest of the winter. Nelson Hamil ton Mackey was born in Te::as on August 7, 1898. Most Americans 11 have a desire to see new horizons, but Nelson's father had it stronge He never spent more than one winter in any one place until he was too old to travel anymore," Nelson recalls. Because of the travel Nelson never spent much time in grammar school, but he learned a good deal from his travels. Besides he's been to college, "I went in the front door of one and out the back one day. That was enough for me." When the Mackeys did settle down, they chose the Animas valley 2½ miles north of Aztec. Nelson went to work for the Pointer and Baldwin Cattle Co. as a cow puncher. Grazing land for the herd was the reservation land in the region of Charcoal Canyon (Chaco Canyon) 70 mi. south of Farmington. Before long Nelson was foreman of the outfit and took pride in the rough and ready way of life of the range. One Christmas Mr. Pointer, Nelson and several other hands went to Farmington for the holidays. Early Christmas morning Nelson's group was pretty well bored and decided to rouse up the town. Their plan included a race down main street with pistols firing, a circle of the Post Office and the Bank and a grand escape across the Bloomfield Bridge into the country. According to Nelson, 11 It .was working fine. We ripped down Main, shooting up the tovm, circled the Post Office and Bank and were off. Every man woman and child was out in the streets yelling that the Post Office had been robbed. 11 As Nelson went careening around a corner behind several other hands, his horse sli pped and threw him. 11 I slid on one side of my face clear to the other side of the street. Before I could pull myself up Charlie Lewis, the Marshall, had me by the back of the neck and was saying, 'I've got one of em anyway.' �,;z { Just then ¥.i.r. Pointer came a galloping up from another direction and yelled, 'Turn him loose, we just about had them till he rell. 1 The other hands rode like heck for the river and hid out. The Marshall swallowed our tale. If he had ever found out about our part in it he'd have killed us. 11 When WW I started all of Nelson's hands were drafted in one day. Nelson was exempted to manage the herd. He was left almost alone with a large herd in an empty land. Mr. Pointer finally brought 12 Navajo boys 10-14 years of age to help him move the cattle. nwe managed, 11 Nelson says, 11 but I told Baldwin if we ever have another war, they aren ' t going to exempt me. I 'd rather go to war. " . 7,-~. In 1923 an argument among Nelson and some his buddies resulted in ·an unexpected and wonderful tripo One of his friends was reading Zane Gray 's .novel The Riders of ~qe Purnle Sa_g__~. In it Zane · tells about a Mormon settlement in -the Grand Canyon and describes the geography and unusual features of that area. Nelson and his buddies got into a hot argument about whether the setting of the story was real or not9 The dispute got so heated that the whole bunch packed their bed rolls and cooking gear andset out for the Grand Canyon to see for themselves. Except for the time Nelson and his horse fell down a bluff into the San Juan River and lost all his gear~ the trip was a great adventure. "We found everythi.ng we ·went to see, 1 Nelson says. In the summer· of 1923 when Nelson wat, 25, his father told him about a pretty littJ.e long-haired girl living on the next place~ "He knew I ·was shy, but I went up to my Dad I s place soon after th.at and my sisters made me acquainted with Enola Hansen o She was 17 years old a...".ld pretty . Her hair was all pinned up. I wanted to s ee how long it was, so I pulled a few l)ins out and took it down. Then I decided I'd kiss her once before she ·went home. I was shy before tlw,t, but I got OY6l' .Lt: when I met th.at girl. WheJ.1 her folks heard she had been over here with a wild co:vrboy, they put a quick stop to that. 11 From then on Enola ar:.d Nelson had to take what chances they could to see one another . The next s ummer when Enola was 18 Nelson told Mr. Hansen he 1 d like to marry Enola. Mr. Hansen thought about it a minute and replied, "I don I t k.."1.ow what good it would do you kids to get married, 11 One of Enola 1 s sisters 11 replied, What good did it do you and Mama to get married?" He didn't have any answer to that, so Nelson and Enola took the chance, went to Aztec and got married. Shortly afterward they moved to Arizona for a year. One character they met there, they'll never forget. Coming home one day they found an outla.w in their house. His name was Cotton .James (the Cotton came from his pale blond hair). Mr. James said, 11 I reckon I ' ll stay here a while. 11 Nelson replied, 11 I dontt see why we can't get along together. 11 The reason Cotton wanted to stay was simple. He had a severe gunshot wound in his upper chest and was treating himself. His unorthodox method of treatment included pouring hot vinegar into the wound and drinking vinegar with sugar. 11He cured himself, too, 11 Enola recalls. Nelson never expected to be put in jail for marrying Enola, but it very nearly happened a short time after Cotton came to live with them. Apparently,,_ since Enola was very small and could have passed for younger than her 1~ years, someone started the rumor that Nelson was living unmarried ~Tith a 12 year old girl. The marshall pounded on the door, accused Nelson of living 1v.lth a minor and was proceeding to arrest him. ) Cotton stuck a shotgun out a window in the l1arshall 1 s .face and told him, I'm sending Mrs. Mackey out with her marriage license. You read it and read it good and then get yours·elf' off this place quick. 11 The �3- Marshall did ash~ was told and appeared very happy to leave. ·When the Mackeys moved back to the San Juan Valley, autos were beginning to appear in the area. There probably weren't more than 2~3 cars in Aztec at the time, but the town marshall had put up a 15' mph speed limit sign at each end or t own . Nelson was driving his team with a wagon the first time he saw the sign. Immediately he whj_pped his horses up a...Tld whipped them all the ·way th.rough town, scattering people right and left . The marsh.all on his little motorcycle came putting after him and stopped Nel son at the other edge of toi,m. After a good cussing, the marshall asked what was the big idea or racing through towr.i.o Nelson replied that he had seen the new speed l imit posted and was just trying to make it. The first cuss ing he· got •ii as nothing compared to the one he •got then. . Tlie Hackeys lived on Yellowjacket Hill a while, then moved ' to Spring Creek, then settled on .M iddle Mesa south of Allison. It was wild country down there in 1935. No road existed. Nelson cut his own road up the mesa . They ran cattle, made hay and rais ed a little grain on dry lando There was one poor road to Tiffany. Most of their shopping ·was done ,-Tith Frank Leonard in Ignacio or ·with Morris Levy·at the s t ore :i.n Tiffany. Occasionally, Nelson and Enola would catch the train at Tiffany for some shopping in Durango. . Five child:r.en were born to the Hackeys. Allis Enola, 1.925; Rose v., 1929; Nelson Pinkie, 1932; Janie Pearl, 1934 (Janie is now deceased); and Jack Melvin, 1937. Living in so isolated a place as Hiddle Mesa vas in those days made the children very shy. 11 Whenever anyone ,-10uld ride up, which happened only rarely, the kids would run for the hill above the house and stay there until t he stranger s were goJ",P.. 11 The kids were put to work clearing the land with a grubbing hoe. Nelson followed ·with the team and cha:tns for the la:cger shrubs and trees. As e£.. ch child reached 18, Nelson offered tbem 40 e.cres or ~~40.00. They al ways took the 40 acres. In 1949 Drummond Proctor, a car salesman, told Nelson it was time for him to trade for a car. Drummond knew that Nelson had never driven a car in his life, but he said, "You take your buggy on home and send Pinkie over in a few days. I'll teach him how to drive and he can bring the car home and teach you. 11 The deal was made. Pinkie got his lessons and headed home. The only problem was the road. It was suitable for buggy wheels. The car high centered on a rock. The pan was knocked orr and the engine burned up before the car ever got home. Nelson worked for the Trask Lumber Company for five years. The good in·c·ome was very attractive, but once Middle Mesa became home neither Enola or Nelson could stay away from it very long. June 21, 1974 was the ~,fa,ckey's 50th Wedding Anniversary. It is apparent their long years together have not dimned their affection for one another. "Mister has al·ways liked to kiss the girls, but I never get jealous," Enola says with a smile. W.aa t she clearly · knows is that no other "girl" will ever catch his eye quite like the little longhaired girl he met at Riverside in the summer of 1 23. May they both have all the happiness and good memories which 50 years of loyalty, and child-rearing and hard work can bring.

Streams of people were departing and boarding the train. P.orters were ·pushing carts of luggage across the platform and hawkers were selling peanuts, apples, sandwiches, coffee and lemonade up and down the aisles of the coaches. The Conroys decided to stretch their legs. Mike helped his wife Lydia down the steps, then lifted down his~ year old twin daughters Mary and Martha aiia~his --, year old son Charles. Though it was fal1 Mary and Martha clearly remember a band nearby was loudly playing '!In the Good Old Summer Time". The Conroys were enroute from one way of life to another. Nine year~ before, Mike, the son of a Manhattan,Kansas, farmer caught the fever for the land run into the Cherokee Outlet. · He was there -on that hot day in 1893 with 180,000 others waiting breathlessly f~r the shot fired by the cavalrymen along the border which ~ignaled noon and the opening of the landrun. Mike had a wagon and two white horses. His competitors, stretching along the border of this vast land both to the right and to the left to the horizons and beyond were mostly people like him hungry for land of their own. Most had horses and wagons, but some had sleek race horses, a few were astride high-wheeled bicycles and a few with very determined looks on their faces were afoot. Mike was one of the lucky ones. He managed to stay fairly near the front of the raging sea of horses and to find a good piece or land. Others were not so lucky. Horses stumbled,wagon wheels shattered, gullies opened unexpectedly in front of racing thron gs and swallowed animals,wagons and peopl e . Men who staked oposi te ends of a claim shot 1 t ,)ut to decide who owned the land. This northwest Olkahoma territory was a trying land to farm. When the rains came Mike was amazed at the crops 1 t would produce, but 1 t was heartbr,? aking during the dry years to see the wheat sprout and wilt and turn brown under the. relentless sun. Mike sold his land in 1902 and decided to go to the mountains. After a brief rest the family reboarded the train. When they arrived in Pueblo, they visited an aunt for several days. The girls had never spent much time in a town of the size of Pueblo. One afternoon the girls were out playing hide-and-seek with their cousins and the neighbor children. Mary hid a little too well. Unfortunately, when she ran around the corner ot the block to hide, no one found her. By the time she decided to return to the yard she had lost her sense ot direction. Finally, a man passing by took her to the right address. The remainder of the trip to Durango took much longer than expected. When the Conroys changed to the narrow gauge train at Alamosa, the sky was grey and threatening over the mountains. Snow was falling so hard at ·Antonito that the train was delayed several days. Most of the passengers including the Conroys lived in the train till the passes were cleared. Mike bought a dairy farm on Florida road east of Animas City. Though Animas City had only two stores Mary and Marth liked to go there. Quickly they learned that Mike Kennedy, who owned the genera1 store, was a pushover. The two littl e gals would mosey over to the candy coun~er and stare longingly at the display until Mike would ease over with a big smile and give them each a sample. "I suppose we were spoiled ,- �·brat~;" admit Mary and '• Martha, "We had alway~ been babied and madeover because we were twins. When the girls were 5 and Charles was 6, they all three starte·d in the first grade at Animas City School. Good weather and bad their father put all three on the ·same horse for the ride down the valley to town. Animas City was the end of the line for ~he Durango Trolley. Whenever the family needed a better selection of goods they rode the trolley into Durango. Since Animas City had no high School, the girls went into Durango after grade 8. Both were members of the girls basketball team and both loved to dance. "Our parents were fairly lenient. They usually let us go to dances and parties whenever and wherever we wanted to go." Being a twin was· handy nb'W' and _then,too. Once when Mary faced a stiff German exam, she let Martha, who was a year ahead nf her in German, sit .infer her. Neither the students or the teacher caught on. Both Martha and Mary decided to become teachers. College training was ~ot required in those days, but it was necessary to pass a stiff exam. Martha taught in the Waterfall School in the Animas Valley and t hen moved south of I gnacio to teach the Harvey School. While there s he boarded with the Fred Harvey Family. "Sometimes we still visit Mrs. Harvey in Durango. She's about 92 now.'' Finally, Mart ha t aught at the Hood School 4 miles N.E. of ·Elmore's Store until she was married. Mary's first school was the Fairview School near Oxford. Then shE=> went to Holder School on Spring Creek , Mason School on Florida Mesa and finally she taught at the Morrison School north of Ignacio. As it is today schoolteaching was a satisfying, but very demanding job. Mary and Martha fre quently opened their schools for dances and box suppers. "Most of our dance music was accompanied by piano and violin. Gui'i:;ars were not too common at dances then." Both Mar tha and Mary admit to a string of beaus during those years, but when a sKed f or names and more details, they r eplied,"Let's leave that out." One episode they will tell (minu s the boy's name). Martha · had a date to go for a buggy r ide wit h a certain young man . The afternoon of the ride Martha became very 111 and asked Mary to go in her place . 11 He never knew the difference, 11 Mary recalls. Beyond this, they each admit to one feller, their husbands. Martha met Marvin Potter at a Grange Meeting at the Morrison School. They were married in Durango on Dec., 11+, 1919. "We drove out to Ignacio in a horse and buggy on what must have been the coldest day of the year. It took about 6 hours and was nearing evening when we arrived." The Potters have four children. Donald lives in Montrose. Jean McClanahan lives in Ignacio. Stanley 1s in. New Jersey, and Irvin is in Dallas. When Mary was 22, she met Leslie Patrick at a dance. She and Leslie were married in Durango on June 4, 1922. After the wedding ceremony, they rode the train to Ignacio and as soon as they arrived at the farm, Leslie put on his boots and went right out to irrigate. "That's the way life was then," says Mary. "We had to work like the dickens. We milked cows, separated the milk and sold the cream. We never could make a living just from the farm. Leslie always had to have another job as ditchrider, or carpenter or something else to earn enough. 11 The Patricks have two children. Lee Patrick lives in Gallup,N.M. and Eleanor Stanberry lives in Basalt, Colorado. During the long winter months of the 1920's the Potters and the Patricks came to town regularly to play basketball at Burns Hall. The ladies enjoyed it as much as the men. "Getting there was the hard part. 11 �Sometimes the road would be a string of mud holes. Everyone but the driver would have to get out and push. 11 In the spring and summer it was baseball. Marvin, Leslie, Louie Morris, Fred Robinson and others the ladies have forgotten were on the team. "In 1926 both our families went on a wild goose chase, 11 the ladies reea11. 11We packed up and headed for California. In Los Angelos one of the men got a job on the docks; ·the other drove a tea.m. 11 After a few .months the Potters moved on to Fresno where they had relatives, but it was suffocatingly hot in the summer. Finally, after visiting relatives in Oregon for a short while, both families decided to return t_Q'::·:Ignacio. "None of us ever seemed to feel at home out there. When we cros~ed the Colorado line west of Dove Creek, Leslie stopped the car, jumped out, threw his hat in the air and let out a wild yell of joy~ That's just how glad he -was to get back to Colorado." Martha and Mary started life together 76 years ago. Now that Marvin and Leslie are gone, it seems right that they are together again sharing life and memories. When asked what they think about being twins, they both reply, "It's great having a double. I'm sure we 1 ve always been closer because of it. 11 by Shelby Smith Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wiseman were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Hott at the Elk I s Steak Dinner Dance in Dura:ngo, Saturday, May 11 th.

Tiny boats made of wood shavi~igs and sticks glided along in grand disregard for their danger, bounced down the waterwhe~l and jisintegrated in the churning pool. At nine years of age Tomas was old enough to give his grandfather some help in the flour mill, but like today there were slack times,~oo. Times to sail boats, time to watch clouds in the blue New Mexico sky ana times t~ listen to the wind in the Junipers. Today the hot weather sound of grasshoppers si~ging accompanied the measured splashing of the wheel, and underlying all was the stead"y, patient, low monotone of stone turning upon stone. . . Tomas and his mother,Nepomucena, divided their time between Grandfather Garcia's farm and flour mill and Grandfather Montoya 1 s ranch near . Espanola. Tom 1 s father came home as often as he could, but worked on a ranch in the Ani~as valley just below the Waterfall Ranch. Toma~, the first of seven children, was born October 4, 1880 at Mesilla, New Mexico. He was nine when he started to school. Everyone, incl1 1ding the teachers spoke Spanish. "We didn 1 t have shows or ball games, but we played with tops, made our own bows ;:md arrows and shot some good marble games. 11 On his tenth birthday, Tom got a present he still remembers. While attempting to hitch a couple of horses to a wagon, he received a severe kick in·the head. The blow was stunning and painful, but no permanent injury was done, except for a mark still visible on his forehead. Perhaps the kick knocked some sense irto his head. -A t least Tom watched the horses more closely after ~hat. Some of the .~ost exciting days of the year during Tom's boyhood were the days of the cock races. A rooster, the target of the race, would be buried in loose earth with only its head and neck exposed. Two teams of horsemen, or horsewooen, would line up at the starting point a_~d ride off like thunder at the shot of a gun. Members of each team would lean precariously from their saddles attempting to grab the chicken and uproot it from the earth as they rode by in full gallop. Sornetines several passes were required with much jostling and shoving between the teams before either team succeeded. Once the rooster was in hand the team possessing it attempted to ride to a designated goal and back to the starting lind. The rooster, squawking and kicking, usually changed hands many times being captured and recaptured by each team in a wild. horseback free-for-all. If eyes were blackened, horses were tripped and grand fist fights broke out, that I s what was .e xpected. Spectators took a frantic interest in th'1 outcome partly because it was an exciting sport and partly because betting on the winner assumed high stakes. Most of the time there would be a women's race and then a men 1 s race. In the evening the losing teams were required to sponsor a dance and reception with refreshments for the w1.nners. Tom says the last cock race he recalls took place about 1900 in New Mexico. In the summer of 1890 Tom's father, Jose, moved his family to the . Animas Valley north of Durango. Tom was promptly hired to operate the horse drawn hay-baler, even though he was only 10 years old. For two years Tom went to school in Durango and learned a lot of English. By 1893 Tom's father had saved enough money to buy farmland near Blanco. Tom took great pride in acquiring his own pony at this time and b&d fun playing Spanish Explorer in the hills. �In 1905 when Tom came to the Pine River Valley to visit his cousin, he did not plan to make his home here. No town existed. All that was ") here at that time was the train· depot, a few homes of Tribal Members , · the Indian Agency .and the trading post where To!'.1 1 S cousin worked. While Tom was here, one of the employees .at the post quit and the Hall brothers gave Torn the job of clerking and delivering. The two Hall brothers whc ·owned the trading post lived at home with their mother. One of t~em was, never married and the other was a widower with several children. ~nployea to care for the family, keep house and cook was a young lady named Estefanita Rodriquez. Estefani~a was small, quick, efficient and ·very pretty. Since Tom was assigned to milk the cow for the family and to eat his meals at the Halls, he met Estefanita over the milk pail and quickly acquired a taste for her cooking. "We got acquainted pretty fast,n Tom admits. They were married in 1906. Tol!l. continued to work at the post for a while; t hen they moved to Bayfield where he got a job with the Postal Service delivering sacks of bulk mail from the Ignacio Depot to Bayfield a.rid then from Bayfield back to Ignacio. '1There weren I t any roads then~ just trails . I drove a spring wagon along a trail b y Buckskin Charlie's place . " Tom liked his job because he got to keep on the move and meet people, but when Haans Aspaas bought ·the Agency Stor.e, Tom went back to work in his old job. The Halls had bought Joh..'1. Taylor I s land located between the present day Bank of Ignacio and the Catholic Church. Aspaas bought a large piece of land south of the bank and together they started platting the town of I gnacio. Tom and Estefanita worked hard and saved their money till in 1913 they hired Hr. Eanzanares to build a house for them . Tom's house was one of the first large ho::;es built in Ignacio. Due to its thick adobe and solid wood construction, the house is still sturdy and attractive. Of their elght chil ·i ren, fi"';-e were , boys and thre e weI·e girls. Filbert died at the age of eighteen. All the · others survive. From 1922 to 194-o ToI!l rented a farm 2 miles east of town. He raised wheat and hay and kept a few cattle. During these years To□ got involved in politics. "I liked it. I worked for the Democrats," Tom says. He took an active part in campaigns, contacted and influenced peoole and made many speeches for the candidates he thought were good people. · The large adobe building on Goddard Avenue, presently used as the school repair shop, was built by Ignacio !!lembers of S.P.N.D.T.U. Tom recalls with a laugh that those six letters appeared in large size a~ross the front of the building and that some local residents would sofiletimes tell strangers they meant "Sor.,e Poor Mexicans Die Tied Up 11 • Actually , S.P.M.D.T.U. stands for Socio.dad Protectora Hezicana de Travaj---'-iores Unidos., a lodge devoted to protecting and i mproving the working conditions of .Mexican- Arr.ericans. Tom as an active member occasionally traveled to Alamosa for regional meetings . For ~any years their building was used by various groups for meeting, parties and dances and otherwise served as the major social center in town . Estefanita's house and yard were always showplaces of flowers. She grew every kind of fruit and vegetable she could crowd into her garden. She sold eggs produce and cream. Both Garcias were hard-working all their lives. They provided well for their family and encouraged them to get as mum education as possible. In spite of the obligations of a large family and a .lifeti!!!e of hard work, Tom and Estefanita were aware of the needs of their neighbors. Those who ~.now them re~ark that the Garcias reme□bered the poor and offered help wherever grief or sickness or ) always trouble occurred. �Estefanita suffered several periods of illness during the su~er .and_fall of 1973. She died in mid-December. Today, when Tom has visitors, he rnay get a mischievous look in his eye and inform them that the happiest hours of his life were spent in the arms of another ~an's wife. Before his guests are too shocked he explains that he's talking about his mother. Tom is now 93, looking for his 94th birthday in October. He doesn't get around too well nowi but his mind is alert and his memory is good, especially regarding the.distant past. When the days get war~er, Too will spend many hours in the sun on his porch enjoying his life on that day and remembering the good and the bad, the grief and the joys , the mistakes and the successes of 93 years. If you're going that way and can stop for a few minutes, he will enjoy your visit, but □ore than that, you may learn a thing er two.

Certainly these are all legiti~ate concerns and the Govern~ent and countless thoughtful citizens have begun to do something about i mproving the se conditions . .· · . However, -in one of t hese areas, t he deterI!lined individual could do more · to help himself. Too many lonely people sit ba.ck and wait f or the world to come to them •. Friendship and contact with the busy world around us takes some effort. The suggestions that follow should do much to take a person , out of himself, gain him new acquaintances, and keep hit:1 in touch with daily ha; penings . The man or woman al one, the shut-in , even the handicapped, will find · something here to broaden his horizon . 1. Keep a birthday f i le. • Write a letter t o the birthday person. will cheer him, cheer you , and is cheaper than a card. It 2. Read the newspapers. When you see the name or picture of' sor::eone who has gained an honor or done so~ething i mportant, write hira a letter of congratulation . Cut out the article and send i t to him . Be sure- to enclose your name and address. You may get an answer. 3. Go to c!-un·.eh . Even if' you li!:i.VE: to take a taxi, go as of t en as possible . This.is a marvelous place to strengthen your spirit and make new fri ends. i-,fany churches furnish transportation f or thos e who have none . j I+. Pursue a handicre.ft. Whether you do knitting, oil painti ng, woodworking, or whatever, it will give a new dimension to your life. 5. Give a children's party. Your neighborhood children will think you're special, and you will have a wonderful ti:t:1e planning, decorating, and entertaining f or such an appreciative group. · 6. Watch TV. No, not just passively. Get involved. Write a let ter to a station protesting as offensive program. Then immediately write a lette r of thanks to a station for a program you r eally en j oyed. 7. Plant sorr.ething. Even if you live in one room you can have a window garden. The ~ew life you see there will give you a sense of renewal. 8. Have a -:pet. Many apartments will allow small, well-behave d pets , and it is impos s ible to feel unloved if you have one. Even a canary gives you the pleasure of caring for another life. 9. Take a walk. Use a different route every day. It is very probable that you will meet new _friend~ and neighbor s on each route. ~ 1 O. Freshen up your wardrobe. Clean. press, and organize your personal apparel so well, no matter how modest it is, that you could be ready to take a trip on s hort notice. Who lmows - you may . In the meantime , · you can t ake pride in your appearance. .1 �i. 11. Observe. Sit outside awhile and look around you. ChallengP. you~self to write a gcod description of all you see, using the most coloxful words you can think of to describe a garden~ traffic, the sunset, children playing, etc. Polish these mini-notes, then use them in the next letter you ·w-rite. 12. Do something for someone. Social agencies and churches have many projects that you night do such as telephoning shut-ins, sewing, etc. Being ne~ded is such a wonderfully satisfying feeling. 13. Try something new. Do your hair a different way, try a new color sweater or shirt, eat a new food, learn a new song, change the furniture ai1ything! Don't ever let yourself get into a rut. Nothing is so conducive to growing old. 14. Plan menus ahead. Make out menus for a week, never repeating a food, and include something new at least once a week. Learn to prepare it well. 1,. Read, read, read! Read everything you can - books, newspauers, poetry, plays, magazines, cookbooks. Expand your lr..nowledge constantly. Describe something you've liked to a friend. Keep a notebook of interesting facts you want to remember. 16. Do something on this list every day and see how many ideas you can add. One who is well should occasionally do all these things. But it is surprising how many people let theI;1sel ves grow stale ,'Ii th a routine that centers solely around the~selves. With a little irragination a person can make a busy and rewardL1g life for himself, and n.is frienJs will n2vsr thi11.lc of him as old. A shut-in he may be, but if he widens his circle of interests and friends, he'll never be a shut-out. "First-I think you should take him off that diet.... " " . . .
