Historically Speaking: Growing Up Proctor — Life on the Galloo, part 1

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record By Janice Dunnahoo Special to the Daily Record I was recently invited to a book signing for a friend of a friend. Though I was unable to attend, I knew her book would be terrific, truthful, straightforward and entertaining. After reading it, it did not disappoint. The book is titled: “Growing up Proctor — Life on the Gallo” by Alma Proctor Hobbs. I loved it so much I just had to share a few of her stories here, it is so typical of the New Mexico I know. I asked Alma Proctor Hobbs if I could share just a few of those stories in my column, and she was very generous in allowing me to do so. This book should be on the bestseller list before long. Following are just a few of some of her stories:

Historically Speaking: The Ketchum brothers and their crimes

Roswell Daily Record Archive Photo In an article by historian Elvis Fleming, published in the Daily Record Oct. 10, 1997, he wrote that Sam Ketchum worked two years on the Bar V Ranch, which was owned by W.G. Urton. The photo s caption reads, Family members from the Bar V Ranch head out on a family fishing outing to Mora Spring, July 4, 1903.

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record By Janice Dunnahoo Special to the Daily Record In a 1984 article in the Roswell Daily Record, a story was featured about a train robbery at Folsom, New Mexico. The events of that robbery reads like a scene from a Western movie. I wanted to know more, so I did some research to try to find old newspaper articles about this event at the time it happened 1899.

Historically Speaking: They ve walked here before us

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record By Janice Dunnahoo Special to the Daily Record A couple of years ago, Kent Taylor, a good friend of ours who is also a rancher, asked me about researching a couple of names that had been painted on a rock overhang on their ranch. These names were dated respectively, J.D. Allsup, Sept. 29, 1892 and T.J. Barkley, June 1898. Kent said the names had been there as long as he could remember, and as long as his dad could remember, and as long as his grandfather could remember. Those painted names must have been there roughly 120 to 130 years.

Historically Speaking: Uncle Rufe recalls first All American Ball on Christmas day in 1880

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record By Janice Dunnahoo Special to the Daily Record Last week’s article was about a Christmas dance out in New Mexico’s ranch country. In keeping with early Christmas traditions here, I thought I would share one more Christmas dance story with you before Christmas. This one is a more historically factual story that took place at the Chisum Jinglebob Ranch, as told by my husband’s great-great-grandfather, Rufus Henry Dunnahoo, who was the first blacksmith in Roswell, and a fiddle player. The writer of this story, Jim Mullens, was Rufe Dunnahoo’s stepson, he located permanently to New Mexico in 1887. He was a writer for the Nogal Nugget, in Nogal, New Mexico, then a boom mining town. He moved to Roswell in 1888 and was employed at the Roswell Register. He taught school in Lincoln County for several years and was the first Chaves County school superintendent. A member of the New Mexico House of Representatives from 1907-1911, he served as Ju

Historically Speaking: Little grains of fire | Roswell Daily Record

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record By Janice Dunnahoo Special to the Daily Record Last week I shared with you one of Ernestine Chesser Williams’ memories that she left to the Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico Archives. It is part of her collection of stories that she wrote after she was 90 years old called, “Long Ago And Far Away.” I promised to share a Christmas story from that collection this week, so here it is. It’s an amusing story, I hope you enjoy it. This story was told to Ernestine by her mother. The names of the people have long since been forgotten, but the story is written as her mother told it to her, about a Christmas dance out in the ranch country of southeastern New Mexico, long, long ago. It will bring a smile to your face.
