Garcia, and I live at 1328 County Road 516, Ignacio, CO 81307. I was born on November 24th, 1918 in Ignacio. That was during the war; First World War. My first school was at Santa Fe. We left on the train and when we got to Santa Fe, they told us to go to our grade room. They asked my sister first what grade she was, and she said she was third grade. Then they asked me, and I told them I was third grade. But, I didn't even know nothing; I didn't even know how to read, I didn't even know how to talk English. And, they sent me back to the kindergarten. But, I finally picked up. That's about it at Santa Fe. I've been to different places. I've been to Towaoc Indian School; I was there from the third and fourth. Then I went to school at Ignacio for fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth. And then, I went to Sherman Institute in Riverside, CA I graduated there. I took up home economics, but like I always tell the people, 'I'm a jack of all trades and a master at none.' I came home; I got a job at the hospital. I was a Nurse's Aide. That was kind of interesting; working with sick people and caring for them. Then I went to different places. I went to Salt Lake City and I sewed a lot. Sewed clothes for the Army. Then I went to Salt Lake. I worked there for a while: making swim suits. Then I decided to go (World War II was going on), to go to California and get me a job. They hired me, they said I had to drive. And, I told them I didn't know how to drive. They said, 'Well, you're froze to it. You're going to learn one way or the other.' So I finally learned how to drive a bus. I drove the Italian prisoners to work, you know, there on the field. But, there were MPs [military policemen] on the bus and I wasn't afraid. I'd hear them talk, and I asked one of the Italians if they knew English. And, they pointed to one and they said, 'Oh, they're telling you bad things.' I told them, 'You tell them I told them to shut up or they're going to get out!' Boy they were quiet. I had to laugh at them. We ate with them at the mess hall. They had their own, you know; the prisoners-of-war. But it was interesting. Afterwards I wasn't afraid of them; I got used to them. And then the war was over. .. I came home. Now I'm here, in one piece. I worked for the Tribe. I worked with them for twelve years; with the welfare. After that I worked for the Peaceful Spirit; that's alcohol. I went to training to be a counselor. I enjoyed it. But, then, I got tired of the whole thing. I said I might as well retire, and I retired. Now I'm home and I'm enjoying it: I go to the casino and have fun, lose or win. Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose, but it's fun. I meet a lot of people, I enjoy it; it's something different than to live alone. Living alone, people say, is aweful. But, I manage. I crochet, I do beadwork, I occupy my time, and when I'm tired of that, I go to the casino and talk and laugh and joke with them people. Lately, I've been in poor health. Other than that, I'm okay. My folks come to see me. That's my great-granddaughters [two ofRuby's great-granddaughters and her great-greatgrandson were present during the interview] and that little one is my great great grandson. And thi.s little one [the father of Ru by' s great great grandson], we' re going to send him to dance at the �powwow [Laughter]. They're going to have a powwow pretty soon. They're having two powwows next month; one for the casino and one for Gerald Hall [?]. [M. Miller: What were your parents' names?] I was born out of wed-lock, let's put it that way. But, I knew who my father was; he came to me. My mother's name was Uterpy [sic?] Taylor. That's why my name was Ruby Taylor, because she wasn't married when she had me. But just the same, life went on. Life has been good, and it's still good providing I get off of this oxygen! And, now, they've got me blowing on that thing [points to a medical device] in my mouth. Pretty soon you'll see me like this [makes a bloated gesture], full of air. My daughter's grandson told me, 'Grandma, your stomach is getting big. Are you going to have a baby?' And I said, 'No, I'm full of air.' [Laughs] And he said, 'How did you get that air inside of you?' And I told him through this [points to the oxygen tube in her nostrils]. You know, they're funny. They say, 'no fools, no fun.' Right? That's about my life. [M. Miller: 'What was your husbands name?'] My husband's name was Joe Weaver; the father ofmy two daughters (Arlene and Lillian). They're both married and look at all that bunch of accumulated kids from me and them two girls [points to a wall full of photographs]. There's five generations on there. Quite a bunch, huh? Look at this white-headed woman [points to herself in a generational picture of her family]. [Laughs] There's five generations there; there's this little one when he was small [her great great-grandson]. Well, it's good to be old and retired: staying home; don't have to worry about getting up or nothing. But I hate to get sick. [M. Miller: 'What do you remember about Sherman Indian School?'] I went to school there, I took up home economics. Learned how to cook; learned how to sew; learned different things (canning, all that stuff). I liked it. I even went back to see the place after I finished. Some of the old employees were still there. But, in those days things were cheap. I tell the people, bread used to be 10 cents a loaf You could buy tennis shoes like that for a $1.98. You don't get them for no $1.98 anymore; they run from 60 on down. And other, regular shoes (you know, I call them 'dancing shoes'), they're high priced, too. I think the cheapest is $20. Food used to be cheap. Gas was $.25 a gallon, and look at it now. It's outrageous. It's gone up, up, up. It was hard for the people. Frank B. (he used to be an Anglo), he used to run a meat shop. He used to donate food for the people to have a Bear Dance and a feast. They'd cook out there. Oh, it was nice, but now it's so different. Everything is so high, and I don't ever remember paying income tax. I don't know when that started, because I never paid income tax. Or, maybe I overlooked it, didn't bother to do income tax. But, now, you have to. �That's about the story of my life. I don't know what else there would be. [M. Miller: 'Did you have brothers and sisters?'] I had brothers and sisters. My sister died, my two brothers died, and there's only one brother left: Sylvian Taylor Valdez and me. There're just two ofus left. But my mother ... she had one brother living, Henry .Taylor, but he passed away about three or four months ago (I don't remember). He died. I lost my mother March the 24th, 1994. It's sad; sadness. Now I'm all alone here. I don't like to interfere with my daughters: living with them (sort oflike 'mooching'). I'd rather live alone and live my own life. Get up when I feel like it; eat when I feel like it; go to bed when I feel like it: nobody to boss me. But, my younger daughter tells me (she sees me at the casino), 'Aren't you ready to go home?' And I told her, 'No, I'm having a good time. You go home.' [Laughs] And I stayed down there. Then I called my brother up: 'Come and get me. Come and take me home,' when it's over. But, the casino never closes. The people are still pulling on them machines. The card table, where I usually play, closes up at four. (But they usually close up at 3 :30 to clean up and count the money.) So, I had my days too; go down there. I have won a big jackpot; $36,000. I won about four jackpots for $2,700 and I won several ones for $1,200. But boy they really soaked me for income tax this past year. I said, 'I ain't got no business winning so much. So I quit. I just play cards where they don't take income tax. [M. Miller: 'Did you dance when you were younger?'] Oh, boy. Believe it! I used to do the twist and everything [laughs]. They had a dance down here and my uncle, the one that died that I was telling you about, came over. They were having a dance dontest, and he came over to me and said, 'Come on. Let's dance, let's show them how it's done.' So we went, and we won. They gave us $20, you know prize? But, now, I can't even dance. My leg is still crippled up. That money cart at the casino hit me right here [points to left leg], and since then I've been sick. My leg swells up and then I have a blood clot on this leg. They doctored me on that; they gave me pills. Look at all these pills that I take ... very sickening [laughs]. I used to like it [the Bear Dance]. I used to do the "Forty-nine," the powwow; I used to do that. But, now, I don't do nothing. I stay home, I watch TV, go to bed, eat, go to the casino, and come home and go to bed, then start all over again. I don't go down there every day. Certain times. They were going to give a car away and they called my name, my ticket. They had a lot of them over there get one. They called my name in there, and I won a free room at the casino and two meals for two. I said, 'For two? Where's my better half?' And them guys stopped and said, 'Me!' And I told them, 'No, I'm not going to take you. Beat it!' [Laughs] I know Spanish, I know Ute, and I know a little bit of Navajo and Paiute; I know Paiute. I understand Italian, because Italian is almost like Spanish. Do you think I had an interesting life? �Yeah, I don't want to win too much money, because they said I make too much money and cut it off There's always a trick. They put up a casino where you make money, and then when you make money they want a cut of30% off Gosh. IfI would have known, I wouldn't have played that much. But, when I paly at the poker, then they give me tickets. They give them to me and I sign my name. They called my name and them people hollered, 'There she is!' [laughs] I had fun. My brother's son won the Jeep; he won it. [M. Miller: 'Did you ever serve on the Tribal Council?'] No. I didn't have time for that. I was too busy helping the poor people. You know, helping them to get pensions. Helping them, you know, what needs to be done. After I got through eith that, I kind of helped the people that drink a lot. I used to drink a lot, too, after the war ... beer. [M. Miller: 'Did you serve on the Committee of Elders?'] Yeah, I was the first Chairman. They gave a party when I retired, and they gave me that blanket. That's a Pendleton blanket; costs lots of money. The Council gave me that, and the one that's on my bed, the Committee of Elders gave me that; another Pendleton blanket. But, I'm satisfied. The Tribe gives the elders $3, 100 every month. That keeps you going. It keeps me going to the casino [laughs]. Look at him [Ruby's great great-grandson], he's still looking at me. He doesn't know me too well. Go to sleep, go to sleep [to her great great-grandson]. I'm glad to know that all my tw.o daughters, my grandchildren and all, have finished school and gone on to college. They have even graduated from college.

She moved to Ignacio, CO when she was four years old with her parents, grandpa, and aunts. She grew up on a farm about five miles from Ignacio, where her family raised cows, pigs, and chickens. "We used to come to Ignacio once a month, or maybe twice of month, to get groceries. The town wasn't very big then. My grandpa used to sell wood here to the Indians. I went to school in Ignacio for one year. We used to go to a farm school; it was like five miles away from home. A one-room school. I think I went there for four years, and then I went over here for a year in Ignacio. I didn't graduate [from high school]. We didn't move here [to Ignacio] until I was nineteen. I moved here with my aunts and my grandpa. We didn't have no water, no electricity, no nothing there [on the farm]." When Cleo moved to Ignacio she went to work cleaning houses. She said, "I didn't know very good English, and I still don't." Cleo's grandfather and aunts raised her. "I had a bunch of brothers and one sister, but they stayed in Blanco. I came with my parents, my grandpa and aunts over here. I don't know why, but I did. We used to plant a lot of corn and beans, make a big garden over there. It was dry land, but you know, it used to rain once in a while. So, we used to go about our things. We had chickens, and we had horses, cows, and pigs. They were just for our own use." Cleo married Frank Garcia shortly after she and her family moved into Ignacio. They had one daughter, Patricia, and Cleo has a grandson. "I remember there used to be a hardware [store] not tCXifar from here. And, I think we used to have one train station. But, we had to come here from the farm on a wagon, horses, because we didn't have cars then. We used to come to church on Sundays on a wagon, real early in the morning. It took us about a couple hours, I guess. We used to walk too, sometimes, or on horseback. My aunts used to tell me about the Great Depression, but I don't remember it. My uncle used to have one of those little cars, you know? We used to ride in the back, because they were small cars, real small. What did they used to call them? Model Ts. My uncle used to have sheep. I worked while she [Patricia] was little. I worked for farmers, you know, doing their housework. I was a dishwasher and a cleaning lady. My husband used to work for the farmers- out in the fields, bailing hay, stuff like that. My daughter went to school here, she graduated from here [Ignacio]. She has that little store up there [on Goddard Ave.], the thrift store. They also sell new clothes. Her husband works there, too. My grandson is working in Bayfield, he's working for some employer. They make buttons, but he's a receiver. I think he makes the orders, he orders things. �We used to celebrate San Ignacio. We used to come for San Ignacio. That used to be a lot of fun. Oh, they used to have dances, they used to have church in the morning. Sometimes they used to have a carnival. I worked at the Senior Center for nine years. I used to clean the place. Then I moved from there and went to the library. I worked there for about five years. I liked that job; it was nice. My boss and I used to get along good; she was good. She's no longer there. Then, I was old enough to get Social Security so I didn't work no more.11 \ Interviewed by Michael Miller (Americorps*VISTA volunteer) for the Ignacio Historical Society, December 15th, 2003. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Even though the machine they were watching was still far down the road, the boys could hear its rhythmic pop-pop-popping as it approached. A lone figure in the auto 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 deep sand in the road. The hard front wheels sank into the sand and the steering bar jerked from the driver's hands. 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, ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) __) ) .J _j __) ..J ..J ..J ..J J ..J J J J J J J The town was surrounded by rolling , forested hills with many clear streams running through the country-side. A person could hardly trave l a mile in any direction without finding a pond or lake. George was born there on October 22, 1896, the son of Martha and William Hams. William was a carpenter, then started a grocery and bakery and did well with these businesses. "We always had plenty to eat," George remembers, "because many of the farmers who traded with the store didn'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 weekends Mr. 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. William bought wood and set the boys to splitting it, "We mainly used maple, oak and beech for firewood. Even after we installed a coal furnace, mother used wood in the cook stove." Every fall the Hams gathered walnuts, butternuts and hazelnuts. George liked some fun with his nut gathering. Mer a freeze he liked to climb carefully into the branches of a nut tree overhanging a path or 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 daylights out of his victims . As it is today, winter was a marvelous time for kids, "We 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 tied barrel staves to our feet; or if we wanted something better, we took elm wood to the engineer at the furniture factory. He steamed and shaped the wood. Then we tacked old shoes to the boards and had a pretty fair set of skies." 71 �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't. One day he and Lee Canfield sneaked into the cellar and sampled and sampled and sampled. "We got sick," 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 won't tell about), but does admit to playing "Penny on a Board" with greenhorns who moved into Hastings. To play "Penny on a Board" George would bring out a pile of sand on a shingle, push a penny into the pile and set it on the ground. Several youngsters, including the greenhorn, lined up a ways from the pile and on the count of three raced lo 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 he could handle. In 1905 George's father sold out in Michigan and moved to Lake Arthur, New Mexico, south of Roswell where he bought a hardware and lumber business. Since George had only one year of high school 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 worked at the Fox Typewriter Co. in Grand Rapids. On dates George and Amy attended silent movies, burlesque shows and the circus (Amy especially liked the side shows). Vaudeville shows were $.35 in the evening and $.15 in the afternoon. They made frequent visits to ice cream parlors, rarely to restaurants. George and Amy were married in 1910. In 1911 Viola was born. She was their only child. The Hams made occasional trips to visit his parents in New Mexico. Cars had become quite common, but good roads were rare. They have vivid memories of trips across the plains. While crossing Oklahoma on one trip the Hams came to a region which had been soaked with heavy rain. When they got bogged at the bottom of a hill, Amy agreed to get out and push. Once the car got going, George couldn't stop. Not only was Amy splattered with mud from head to foot, she also had to walk all the way up the hill through deep mud to reach the car. Another time the Hams had completely bogged down in a mud hole and were feeling 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 still inside, set it on firm ground, and left. In 1920 when Viola was about 9, Amy contracted tuberculosis. The doctors recommended that she go to a dry climate like New Mexico for treatment. She did so and year later she was pronounced cured. If 10 year old Viola hadn't asked for an ice cream cone as they passed through Hagerman, N.M., on their way back home lo Grand Rapids, the Hams family might still be in Michigan. George stopped, went into the drug store for the ice cream and discovered the store was for sale. He bought it on the spot. 72 �Life in Hagerman on the legendary Pecos River was quite different from life in Grand Rapids. The Hams bought a place near the Russell Ranch and became good friends of the Russell family, who proved to be invaluable help when most any problem arose. George bought a few cows. When it came time for one of the calves to be weaned from its mother, Amy had trouble. Mrs. Russell, who weighted about 200 pounds, came over to help. She stepped a stride the shoulders of the calf, grasped its head and ears and forced its head into the bucket. "If it gets balky again, just do that," Mrs. Russell advised. The next day Amy decided to try to force feed the calf. It had not occurred to her that a difference in weight of 110 pounds would matter. Amy, who weighed only 90 pounds got astride the calf and got the ride of her life. Fortunately, Amy had as good a sense of humor about this as about the mud. George operated the drug store in Hagerman from 1921-1946. Though he preferred not to be, he was considered a counter doctor by many of the residents of the area. George and Amy sewed up more people than they like to remember. "One man had such a large knife wound, we could see his heart beating." As in all parts of the country during the great depression, many transients came through Hagerman. "We never refused anyone a prescription, money or no money. One family passing through asked for medicine for a sick baby. Years later we received a letter from them with money for the prescription." ) ) ) Viola moved to Ignacio in the 1940's. When the Hams came to visit, the green trees and flowing streams brought back memories of Michigan. They had always missed the green countryside while living on the dry plains. In 1946 George and Amy bought 40 acres north of Ignacio, remodeled the house and spent many happy years here. Amy died in 1970. George is now 88 years old. He's had a good life with much happiness and filled with good memories. We are happy you moved here Mr. Hams and wish you many more happy years. J December, 1974 - Shelby Smith ) _) J _J ..) ..) ..)

Gallegos was born May 16, 1893, in Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico, the oldest son in his family. Juan's father was a sheepherder for 45 years. In the summertime he took his flocks into the high country surrounding their home. Most of their neighbors put their flocks together in the summer and either shared the herding responsibility or paid one herder such as Juan to care for the sheep. Being the oldest son, Juan soon was traveling with the sheep camp and learning how to care for the sheep. In the summer of 1908 when Juan was 15, his father had to leave the sheep for a 3 day business trip. Juan and his cousins were left in charge. It was hot weather and the creek was cool but shallow. The boys made a temporary dam with rocks to make a nice pool for skinny-dipping. Then the thought of tobacco came to their minds. Forbidden things always seem to have a great appeal to boys. A great idea came to them when they remembered the Juan's mother did not know Mr. Gallegos was away from the camp. Word was sent to Mrs. Gallegos that her husband wanted a supply of his Bull Durham tobacco. She promptly sent it and the boys began their experiment. Though they had varying degrees of success rolling their own cigarettes and went through a lot of coughing and sputteling while trying to smoke, the boys thought it was grand getting to do such a "manly" thing. However, the boys didn1 feel so "manly" when Mr. Gallegos returned and discovered their trick. Juan learned that 15 year old boys are not too old for a good whipping. A few years after that Juan's father began hearing of homesteading opportunities across the line in Colorado. In 1914 he took a claim of 160 acres north of Dulce in the Montezuma Valley. Mr. Gallegos built a log house and made the necessary improvements to establish a permanent claim. Juan and a couple of his brothers also claimed nearby homesteads, but hard times required them to abandon the claims to find work in Utah. In 1916 when Juan was about 23, he married Matilda Gallegos. They raised 6 boys and 4 gi~s. Several years later when Juan was 39, he and Matilda decided to move to Ignacio. They came by horse-drawn sled, to Pagosa Junction. II was too muddy the rest of the way for a sled, so Juan came on to Ignacio, rented a buggy and returned for his family. Life was pretty hard in 1932. Juan worked for the W.P.A. (Works Progress Administration) and he appreciated the work, but that didn't prevent him and many other Spanish speakers from calling the W.P.A. "El diablo apie" or "the devil on fool". Later Juan got a job with the BJ.A. as a camp mover under Mr. Peterson. During W.W. II Juan's second son, Juan Joe Gallegos, was captured by enemy forces in Europe, Juan believes his son was imprisoned and must have died while there. Unfortunately, there was no definite word about his fate at that lime and nothing more certain has ever been learned. Juan and his family lived in Dragerton, Utah, during 1943-45 while he worked in the Colombia Coal mine. In 1948 Matilda died. Juan returned to Ignacio in 1951 and worked as a camp mover several more years. In 1966 Juan was married to Apolonia Herrera and they still make their home here.

I have four brothers and two sisters. That does not count several others who died before they were gro;m. ·when I was 7 years old I started to school at Cha.r:-,a. Durlng the school tE;rm I stayed with my mother's parents, Trinidad and Juanita. Sanchez, whose farm was close to school. Every !::'.;.orning the sc_hool janitor fired up the pot-belly stoves in each of the three rooms. At the end of the day each teacp.er .had to sweep the classroom. Mr. David G~ul was my first teacher~ All of us were Spanish speakers. They tried to teach us English, but it didn 1 t work too -:.iell. Every text book was in English._ We would sound out the words and Hr. Gaul would translate; It was slow work and not too interesting. But we enjoyed baseball ganes and ether activities at noon and during recess. Also, we helped pass the ti~e of day with mischievous pranks during the school day. 11 11 After seventh grade I stayed home to help may father with the farm work. I did this until I was 25 years old. If I had any extra time, I worked for wages on other farms. When I 'Has about 16 years old, ffiY father hired Albino Baca and his facily to herd,sheep, Little did I know I v.·ould .some d.ay marry his daughter, Earia Inez, who at that time was only a 7 year old girl. I never saw Maria again until 9 years later two c.ays before our wed.ding. 11 11 When I was 25 years old, rr!Y parents decided. it was tj_ce for me to get ~arried. They thought over the possibilities and remembered .Albino Baca 1 s daughter must be about old enough to □arry. The custom of parents arranging their children's n:.arriages was a very old. and traditional way, bu-c I had no objections. A little after Christt:e.s my mother and father hitched up their buggy to pay Albino Baca a visit. He lived on a farm near Red Wing, Colorado, a two day journey across the mountain,3 t.hxough La Veta ?ass. The ,.~ed.d.ing was arranged. I went to San Luis to buy a ~ed1ing dress, shoes and other clothing as a gift to -r:,y bride. ·1.'his was also an old tradition for the groon to present the bride with a trunk full of beautiful clothes just before the wedding. Cn the 16th of January, 1920, r2y parents, ny grandparents an aunt and an uncle and I loac.ed up two buggies and began the trip tn Red Wing. About half way over the ~ountain was an abandoned sa~ mill -where we ca~ped for the_ night. The next day , ',,;hen we arrived at rte a. °\,'ling, the facilies were introduced and my ur..cle took his buggy on to the ho~e fo a friend several miles away-to stay the night. I went to our buggy to bring the trunk to lfaria, but found it was missing. !·:y dad headed back to the saw mill, thinking we had left it there. After he left, my uncle retu~ned because he had found the trunk in his buggy. I got on a horse to catch rny father. By the time I overtook him and returned to Red Wing it ..,,as midnight. 11 11 I was very pleased with rr.y parent's choice. Maria was very pretty and was well trained. Even though she was young, she cou+d cook and sew and everything else a i,life needs to do. We were married in church on January 20, 1920. We took her two little brothers who were ages 3 and 7 home to raise.

They thought over the possibilities and remembered .Albino Baca 1 s daughter must be about old enough to □arry. The custom of parents arranging their children's n:.arriages was a very old. and traditional way, bu-c I had no objections. A little after Christt:e.s my mother and father hitched up their buggy to pay Albino Baca a visit. He lived on a farm near Red Wing, Colorado, a two day journey across the mountain,3 t.hxough La Veta ?ass. The ,.~ed.d.ing was arranged. I went to San Luis to buy a ~ed1ing dress, shoes and other clothing as a gift to -r:,y bride. ·1.'his was also an old tradition for the groon to present the bride with a trunk full of beautiful clothes just before the wedding. Cn the 16th of January, 1920, r2y parents, ny grandparents an aunt and an uncle and I loac.ed up two buggies and began the trip tn Red Wing. About half way over the ~ountain was an abandoned sa~ mill -where we ca~ped for the_ night. The next day , ',,;hen we arrived at rte a. °\,'ling, the facilies were introduced and my ur..cle took his buggy on to the ho~e fo a friend several miles away-to stay the night. I went to our buggy to bring the trunk to lfaria, but found it was missing. !·:y dad headed back to the saw mill, thinking we had left it there. After he left, my uncle retu~ned because he had found the trunk in his buggy. I got on a horse to catch rny father. By the time I overtook him and returned to Red Wing it ..,,as midnight. 11 11 I was very pleased with rr.y parent's choice. Maria was very pretty and was well trained. Even though she was young, she cou+d cook and sew and everything else a i,life needs to do. We were married in church on January 20, 1920. We took her two little brothers who were ages 3 and 7 home to raise. Maria had taken care of them since their m.o ther died." ) -s:,, 3 "At first we lived in a house p r ovided by the farmer I worked for .

"We milked 5 Jersey cows, earning $15. 00 per week selling the crean. l•,e had 300 chickens and traded the eggs for groceries. · 1t was not all work, We both loved horses. \,'hen Annetta was still with her gra.....dparents, she was forbidden to rice the race horses, but she sometines sneaked the jockey saddle on one of the fast ones and went for a wild ride. My interest," Jack recalls, "•,;as just as strong. During the 1940's I traveled with a local Cowboy's Polo Tea,-n. One of the horses I rode was a big help. He learned to kick the ball and sometimes made a score. I never got to play basketball or football, but I played base:)all every Sunday on a team sponsored by the B.I.A," Involvement with the business of the tribe has always been important to the Frosts.

"Hy Dad , Rob.ert Lee Penne11,·was born at Van Wert, Ohio, in He moved west for his health in 1907 or 1908, settling in Rocky Ford for a while, then moving on to Ft. Collins, where ee was employed by the Rocky Mountain Bee Company. My mother, Caroline Wood, was born in England in 1889 and moved to Ft. Collins with her parents whe n she was 14 years old. My parents were married in Ft. Collins in 1909 and moved over to Ignacio in 1912, when I was 2 years old. Dad rented a box car to transport his co~q, his horses and several bee hives. ~e lived in town several years while Dad built up his bee business. I attenced the old grade school located on the same site as the present Ignacio Grade school. By 1917 Dad's business was doing well enough for him to buy a Kissel Truck. It had no windshield and no top. We built a box bed for it about twice as lortg as a pick-up bed for hauling the bee hives. Dad started teaching me to drive while I was very young. I soon thought I was a hot driver and liked to drive fast. Driving, however was only a warm weather pleasure. Before winter Dad drained the radiator and put the truck up on blocks. Harry He Junkin, Clyde Galwyck and I had single speed bicycles with small tires which we used to ride all over the place. In the su~.!!ler we were often down on Ignacio peak digging caves. I could go whereever I wanted except down town. Dad had the notion I would get into trouble if I hung around there. So unless he sent me on an errand or mother sent me on an errand with a note to prove it, downtown Ignacio was off li~its. This order kept me away most, but not all of the time. I can still re~ember the day I ~as playing a ga~e of pool in the pool hall, a definately forbidden place. I heard Dad 1 s voice at the front Just in tiI11e to make a very rapid exit out the back door. Dad and I &ecided I should go to the school of mines. In order to meet the entrance requirements I had ~o enroll at Ft. Lewis School the last two years of high school to take physics and other courses not available in Ignacio. However, none of this worked cut because about the ti~e I ~as to leave for Golden, I got appendicitis. In those days an operation was aserious thing and r2covery took a long ti::ie. By the time I was feeling good again it was too late to go to school. I started doing auto repairs for Bill Liese 1 s Garage. I got $1 .25 per day working from 7:00 A.M. till 8:00 P.M. 3oon after this ~Y Dad 1 s health began to f2il and he turned the bee business over ~o ~e. Also about this tiJ:;1e I began to notice Bessie Briggs. She lived at .Allison but sometimes visited her sister in Ignacio and attended some of our dances." · Bessie Brig.g- 1 s Grandfather Briggs moved from England to Canada ~d then to the 1;,nited States. Her father, .James Briggs, was born at H?zelhurst, }'.ississippi, and lived in Illinois and Kansas before moving to Rocky Ford. James was a canp cook for a ranch. He □arried Martha Ella Miles at Rocky Ford. They moved to Allison, Colorado, and homesteaded the Rainwater Ranch. Bessie's Grandfather Briggs hocesteaded the; place where Krs. Little now lives. Bessie was one of nine children. Her oldest brother, Elmer, and her youngest brother, Ji~ Jr., are bo~h deceased. Ethel lives in Durango, Isabel in Albuquerque, Vali in Dura~o, Lester in California, Ruch in Bayfield andO pal lives at Red Mesa. Wh~n Bessie was five years old, her mother died. The older children _helped James take care of the younger ones. �"Dad was a good gardener ," Bessie remembers. nHe raised all kinds of fr uits and vegetables. We had plenty of meat except in summer whe n there was no way to keep it. I attended school gt Allison 10 years then boarded with the J.R. Ball fa~ily in Durango to fini sh high school. I worked for r::iy beard and r oom, but was treated like a rneober of the family. I was about to enter college at Ft. Lewis when Le e Pennell and I decided to get married. 11 11 Lee and I packed our bags the morning of December 1, 1933t and took off in his 1928 Chevy coupe for Durango. The road was muday and the ruts were so de ep we almost bogged down several times. We were married by the Rev. Schur::iacher at his ho!:le . After the cere □ony, we left for the Grand Canyon . Our route went through Gallup and Holbrook to Flagstaff where it was sno·,ving hard . When we got to the canyon, :~e stayed at Bright Anbel Lodge for $ 2 .50 per night. The El Tovar was S11 • 00 per ni gnt . :'here was a road across the ?Tavajo Reservation _ through Kayenta , but we were warned that the roao.s were ungraveled and sometimes i□passaole and also that gas ~ight be as high as 50 cents per gallon . Since we were accustoced to pay 15 -25 cents, that sounded a,,,fully high. ·:te car::1e back through Flagstaff . 11 "Back in Ignacio we rented an apartnent fro~ Ray 1-alls in what is now the Peaceful Suirit Center. Later we ~oved into Carlson ' s house and finally into Lee's parent's house after they moved back to ~t . Collins. In 191+5 we traded our house in town for !{rs . Payne's place on the hill where we still live. In the old days we got only 4 or 5 cents a pound for honey . Lee used. to have 600-700 hives, ':)ut no·,., r:ai!ltair..s only about 60. H4 was the local Bee inspector for 20 years . Juring ~he ~o•s :ee served two tel'ns on the to-....m board and. in the 50's was on the school board. 11 The Pe~nels have four children. Robert is a teacher in ~as Vegas. A.,_.,_71 lives on a r anch in Oklahoca. i:·no:r;::a s ';Forks at a missile tracki:ig station near Barstow, California and Charle s is a counselor at 3ertnoud High School in northeast Colorado .

Q PIX3~t,-~ /~ - �FRANK PADILLA Frank Padilla was born at La Jara, New Mexico, (near Cuba) in 1903. His parents, Jose R~fael Padilla and Alcaria (Mestas) Padilla, had three older children when Frank was born. They are Beatrice, Amalia and Cleotilde. The Padill~ •s moved to Arboles, Colorado, when Frank was one year old. His father worked for the D. & R.G. Railr.oad building track~ His foreman was a. Japanese man~ The 11 extra gang",as the Japanese crew was known, created quite a stir of interest since most of the local people had never s een Orientals before and had certainly never seen anyone eat so much rice. · Frank says he attended school at Arboles f'Jr one year, then went to college at the sheep ca~p. Sheepherding was Frank 1 s life work. Many of those years he was employed by Salvadore Rodriquez, an uncle of Fred Rodriquez. Except for a few trips to Grand .Tunctio11 and Utah and one memorable trip to Los Angelos, during which he missed a bus connection and toured all over Pueblo and Denver, Frank has spent his whole life in the Arboles/Ignacio area. Frank has never been married. During the interview we teasingly asked him -whether he had ever had any girl friends. He set us in our· places by replying the only lady he is i11terested in is the Virgin Mary. Frank's devoted religious faith is well kno~m in this community. If the people of Ignacio were asked to name the person who is the best neighbor in town, I a.Iil confident Frank would be one of the winners. For many years Frank has taken care of the grounds at the Catholic Church. Since moving to one of the senior center apartments, he has watered and hoed all the flower beds and swept and cleaned the walks and the parking lot. Every spring Frank visits both the Catholic and the non-Catholic ) cemetaries to search for any untended graves. He removes the weeds and cleans every grave which appears to be neglectedo In his daily walks bet-ween Ignacio and the senior center he picks up and disposes of the litter a.long both sides of' the highway. All these tasks are perfor~ed without thought of pa:rment and apparently without any resentment that others do not hel p. For the se r easons 1~e are pleased to honor Frank Padilla as our senior citizen of the month. He is a responsible, dj_gnified resident and has set an admirable example for the rest of us to be a friend and neighbor to our whole community. ~ Shelby Smith �Don and Jayne Lyday and son Chris spent a couple . of weeks in this area the last of August~ They were overhauling their cabin property north of Durango and their cabin and trailer below the Vallecito.

I do not r emember him since he died shortly after I was born, but my mother told me he was a blacksmith at the old Indian Agency north of town. Before my □other married John , she was married to Julian Buck. My half-brother, Daniel Buck , attended the Sa.nta Fe Indian School, but died while he \-;as still a young man. My two half-sisters were July Turner and Ellen Watts. July was kicked by a horse and died while she was a young girl . 11 "I was born February 22, 1901.t-, at the Southern Ute Agency. The long white building where I was born is still there. The first place I t..:an remember living was a canvas wigwam l<;>cated just across the bridge east from Ignacio . Since· my mother was a widow, she worked very hard making beadwork and beaded rtoccasins and l eather saddles to sell. She taught I!le to do beaded belts and moccasins . 11 "When I was 5 years old she sent me to the Southern Ute Boarding School. Dolly Watts, Edith Burch and Ollie Tyler started at the sar::e time. We all cried. We were afraid and we didn 1 t want to go . It was just as bad as we thought it would be. The big girls pinched us and teased us . The next year I got to go to Spring Creek School. It was a small country school with a lot of Anglo children. That's where I learned English." "In 1918 was the terrible flu epidemic and my mother died from pneumonia. I went to live with my cousin Page Hright at La Boca. I helped herd the sheep and do other work. It was at La Boca School I finished 8th grade. A few years later I met Amos Eagle. Amos liked to do farm work. He had worked as a farm laborer at Rocky Ford . We were married at the court house in Durango. Our first ho::ue was a 3 room aqobe house on my mother 1 s Spring Creek Allotment. It was a warm house and big enough for us at that tine. Amos was a good farmer. He raised hay and gr ains and sheep and cattle. He sold cows whenever we needed money . In the winter he sold hay from a big haystack to the white people. We had many good neighbors. We helped them and they helped us. I can remember helping the white ladies can cherries and other food for winter. Amos had a buggy with a top which we drove to Ignacio on Saturdays to buy food and see the people." 11 Sometimes today at the store I see people which I remember from those days, but they are old ladies now and I have forgotten their names. I remember the San Ignacio Fiesta many years ago. The Spanish people put up little stands to sell fruit and tortillas and there were foot races .and horse races. 11 11 • Amos and I had 4 children and adopted one. Ivy is the oldest, then Mildred, who died when she ·was a baby, Lenora, who died of fever when she was 12 and Judy. Also we adopted Beverly." "We sold my mother's al.lottment to the tribe and moved to town about 1956. Amos died 6 years ago." "I always liked the Bear Dance and used to cook food for the feasts . With one hand stiff, I can't do my beadwork and I can't cook very easily, but I still like to - go to the powwow to .listen and watch. 11 interviewed by Shelby Smith �·• L anan Bryan , now in the U.
