Carrizozo Outlook 2/3/1934 English III free verse assignment William Compton wrote:

The Malpais
That vast ocean of rock
Whose metallic somberness
Defies all who near it
What untold secrets does it hold?
Those jagged crevices and mounds,
Which are so roughly hewn
By wind, rain, and snow
How? Why? And when did
Its presence permeates this district?
As history says, probably by some
Extinct Volcano, probably struggling
To rise again and scour the
Land with its black venom.

The Malpais;
A no man’s land.
The refuge for robbers.
And thieves, a wonderful.
Place for stills and hide-outs.
A home for rattlesnakes.
A wonderful goat country.

But even this unconquerable
Supply of rock has been brushed
Aside by man,
And now a road traverses it.

Miss Julia Penfield teacher at San Patricio resigned, moving to Alamogordo. Oscura’s School teacher was Mrs. Olive Smithson.

Carrizozo Outlook 11/8/1935 mentions several rural schools: Lincoln, San Patricio, Ruidoso, Picacho, Encinoso, White Oaks, Bogle, Ramon, Angus, Jicarilla, Mon Jeau, Oscura aka Oscuro, Ancho, Baca Canyon, Escondida, Fort Stanton, Lon, Arabela, Asperos (also spelled Asperus), Glencoe, Macho, Erwin.

Carrizozo Outlook 11/15/1935 Student murdered in Tinnie, N. M. Hollis aged 18, killed his aunt and uncle Mr. and Mrs. Willard in their home including their son, George Willard with a hatchet. The boys’ body was decapitated and horribly mutilated.

Intermission: The importance of the Southern Pacific RR, the Carrizozo school, churches and social clubs, had become the dominating forces in Lincoln County by 1935. Two classes existed, as they persist today. They were the land owners, businessmen, judges, and old money. Those people who excelled in school also joined the Order of Eastern Star, Women’s Club, Rainbow Girls, Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias-although declining in influence, and Lodges like Eastern Star, and The Carrizozo Lodge. The other class were the Mexican community who lived “across the tracks” and laborers of all races. Women might be included in a special class. They lost their identity after marriage becoming Mrs. John Doe, rather than Mrs. Lora Jean Thompson as an example.

It is said that ninety percent of the wealth today is controlled by only one percent of Americans. That is not true. Actually that 1% owns or controls everything-100%. The vast majority of people own nothing, because they are in debt. They die owing a home mortgage, a stack of credit card bills at obscene interest rates, college loans, and medical bills. Those bills are owned by that 1%. This situation was inevitable being part of the evolution of the elite over the classless.

Over the years, wealth and position in Lincoln County has passed from the early settlers, many of whom brought wealth from the East, establishing ranches, mining properties and businesses. Over the past hundred years, that wealth and most importantly, social position, has passed down to their descendants. However, that wealth and social position tends to dissipate over time due to marriages, deaths, and descendants. Wealth is passed to the children, ever being diluted. The more children a family has, the quicker the wealth is diluted. Furthermore, children do not hold the same values as their forefathers. The Duggar family is an example. They were a respected and wealthy family.

The parents eventually passed away, leaving the ranch to the boys. But the boys had no desire or an inclination to operate the ranch. The boys went separate ways, squandering the wealth or at least consuming it. That family’s wealth and position is now extinguished in Lincoln County. A few other families have faired better with their hand-me-down-wealth. But that free ticket will eventually elapse.

On another subject, in the spring of 1964 a car load of giddy girls from Carrizozo traveled to Capitan to attend a dance. I recall a 1925 newspaper snip: Capitan high school girls are quoted very highly on the marriage. Market. It bespeaks praise for our home economics courses. Lula Hightower was the latest of our number to succumb. The faculty and school every wish for future happiness.”
The dance was rocking until a group of Capitan girls escorted the Carrizozo girls outside the dance hall. They were not friendly. Pushing and posturing ensued. “Stay away from our boys, the Capitan girls warned. The Carrizozo girls jumped into the old Mercury. Departing, they were thankful they still had all their hair. So it was, and so it is. CB

Carrizozo Outlook 4/24/1935 Charles Thornton and Gege Kimmons are pain ting Oscura’s school fence. (Oscuro keeps on ticking.)

Carrizozo Outlook 5/22/1935 Senior graduation, names not listed, but included Opal Crenshaw, Bradley Smith, Dorothy Nickels, Mary Freeman and 17 others, no names given.

Carrizozo Outlook 11/20/1936 School was not a favorite topic this year-or last year. But the Senior class had a Carrizozo Queen Contest. Alemeda Bowlin 772 votes. Evelyn Ellison 600, Lois Smith 482, Ruth Barnett 400. They also had a boxing match and a Kissing booth. Be mindful that the Great Depression of 1929-1939 was in high gear. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was at work in Lincoln County. Book drives were held to give to the CCC camps. They operated from 1933 to 1942 for unmarried men from relief families as part of the New Deal.

Carrizozo Outlook 1/1/1937 We begin this year with a note about a relative. Albert Wood opened a grocery store in Oscura (Oscuro). Mrs. Wood is the new postmistress. Mrs. Olive Smithson is the teacher at the Oscura School. The school had a Christmas program for the public.

In 1940 the Oscuro precinct 15, was enumerated as Oscura but was officially listed as Oscuro. Only 41 people lived in Oscuro in 1940. By 1960 only a single building existed which sold alcohol.

Carrizozo Outlook 6/17/1938 Jane Elizabeth Spencer, the granddaughter of the late governor of NM, W. C. McDonald, was married to Dr. James Paul Turner. The Bar W Ranch belonged to T. A. Spencer. The wedding was attended by select people as far away as Hawaii and Kansas. The write up in the newspaper was a full column. Class means everything even in our so-called classless society. The marriage of a Juan Silva to a Jane Smith would get but one sentence of newspaper space. (By the time this compiler was in grade school, two doctors operated the hospital at Carrizozo, Dr. Turner and Dr. Spencer. Dr. Turner was a somewhat jolly man. He had a short but loud laugh. Any patient who visited him was assured of getting a shot of penicillin regardless of their complaint. Dr. Spencer was strictly clinical without a cheerful bone in his body. He offered out blunt, medical honestly.

Dr. James P. Turner was married to a Corrine or Corine Brasfield in Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas in 1930. She was born in Arkansas, Turner was born in Illinois. His occupation was RR Physician. The fate of Corrine is unknown, but she may have been Corrine or Corine Brasfield born 9/2/1906 and dying in Ca. on 10/5/1997 as Corine Brasfield Bierbaum. Tragedy would later strike Dr. Turner’s family which will be revealed later in this collection. See entry 2/3/1961 below. James Paul Turner had a sister Augusta Turner who married I. L. Spratt. She was born in 1907 in Arkansas. James Paul Truman was also born in Arkansas. James Paul Truman’s father was Frank T. Turner, a Baptist minister. His mother was Sallie Turner. His mother was Sallie or Sarah Truman.

Carrizozo Outlook 9/23/1938 Six post graduates are now enrolled in HS. I still do not understand what entails going to school as a post graduate. Perhaps they could not afford college. Also, the school begins sanctioned hazing of freshmen by the seniors.

Carrizozo Outlook 2/17/1939 The Carrizozo boys poll for Ideal Girl: “The ideal girl is a good sport and honest. She should not be a gold digger; neither should she swear, tell obscene jokes, drink, smoke, pet, or use too much cosmetics. (Girls) Running after boys, being boisterous, sarcastic, or acting bored soon lose their appeal to the opposite sex. A girl should never be ashamed to introduce her friends to her parents and invite them to her home.”

Carrizozo School notes: In 1950 the School Board ruled all students would attend the Carrizozo Schools instead of the split between St. Rita and Carrizozo. The class of 1950 had 45 students at the beginning of the school year. Gradually the girls married Red Canyon soldiers, or dropped out. The class finished with a graduating class of 25 students. Years later a superintendent burned all the pictures of former students that hung in the old auditorium. That was a ruthless disregard of history.

Lincoln County News 5/15/1953 St. Rita Graduation. (Over time that school has been called St. Rita, Saint Rita, and Santa Rita. I do not understand the Santa Rita designation. Perhaps it was just slang. It was in the 1950’s that I saw a Nun walking behind our house with her Rosary beads. She appeared to pray as she walked. A few days later I played on the tracks behind my house and found the Rosary beads. I never went across the tracks to the “Mexican” side but I did this time. I met a young Mexican about my age and asked him if he could return the beads to the Nun. A few days later, the boy came to my house and told me the Nun was very happy to have the beads returned. Sometimes we do something nice that stays with us forever.)

The event died out after a few years, unfortunate. (Note: It was a practice for the early newspaper to print those admitted to the hospital in Carrizozo.

That list has some genealogical value, but I have avoided it. Left field, Readers may have observed that I leave off the comma after a surname and “Jr.” That is because I may use the comma to separate names for a future database. That extra comma gives a false separation between names. Query, as I peruse the columns, I noticed an absence of mentioning of Dr. Turner’s children, who being of a wealthy family and later graduating from such esteemed universities as North Carolina, North Western, and Duke, were obviously talented and superior students. It occurred to me that they were sent to the Roswell School where better opportunity existed. School ranking of the states has had NM ranked 50^th for many years. They are now 49^th. Only Nevada is worse. Those coming out of HS without a silver platter serving wealth and social position and with no college degree would be at a life-long disadvantage.)

ABOUT HIS INVOLVEMENT INTHE GREAT DIAMOND HOAX:

Philip Arnold had acquired a partner, John Burcham Slack, an aptly named older cousin from Kentucky who, like Arnold, had fought in the Mexican War and had gone after gold in 1849. Indeed, in the months ahead, as the two men hatched their scheme, Slack played the listless, taciturn foil to the voluble and cunning Arnold.

John Slack was assumed to have either fled the country or died soon after leaving the diamond fields. But in 1967, Bruce A. Woodard, an accountant who had become obsessed with the hoax, asserted in his book, Diamonds in the Salt, that Slack had taken a job building caskets in St. Louis. Eventually, according to Woodard, Slack moved to White Oaks, New Mexico, where he became an undertaker, living alone until his death at age 76 in 1896. He left behind an estate of $1,600. Here’s the story:

One day January, 1872 two dirty, bearded and disheveled prospectors, John Slack and Philip Arnold (who were cousins from ELizabethtown, Kentucky), appeared at a bank in San Francisco early in the morning and attempted to deposit a small leather pouch full of uncut diamonds. After they had managed to do so, they disappeared.

The diamonds were shown to officers of the bank, who in turn showed them to William Chapman Ralston, a director of the Bank of California and then to other capitalists in the city. The prospectors agreed to take General David Colton, a representative of the capitalists, to the place they found the diamonds but insisted that he must first be blindfolded. They set off together on the Union Pacific Railroad to a location, after which they made a four-day journey through mountains and canyons to where they had made their discovery. Colton was extremely cautious, however, and brought Arnold and his diamonds to New York City to the firm of Charles Tiffany. He confirmed the authenticity of the gems and declared them to be “a rajah’s ransom.”

A group of California financiers assembled and made Plans to begin mining at once if the claim proved genuine. A team of experts from Tiffany’s in New York examined the diamonds and confirmed that they were of tremendous value. When the investors were still reluctant, Arnold agreed to guide a mining engineer to the site of the claim.

Swiftly, the investors chartered a corporation -to develop their find. They prepared a stock issue, filed claims, and even began lobbying to get mining laws changed in their favor. When Arnold and Slack dragged their feet, the corporation bought them out, paying $600,000 for all rights to the mine. The prospectors vanished, promptly and completely.

A young government geologist named Clarence King blew the whistle. Locating the site by a masterful bit of detective work, King spent several days there. In that time, he developed ten separate reasons why diamonds could not occur naturally under such conditions. An eleventh bit of evidence was a small diamond picked up by one of King’s associates early in the search.

Later investigation traced the diamonds to the markets of London and Amsterdam. Arnold had visited both cities in 1871, paying cash for large numbers of low-grade or “bort” diamonds. The total purchases seem to have amounted to about $40,000.

Phillip Arnold had returned to Elizabethtown, Kentucky, his home town. He was living there in quiet respectability when detectives located him, and he had all the money paid for the claim. Slack was never found. Since Arnold had clearly held onto the loot, there was much dark speculation as to Slack’s probable fate, but that mystery was never solved.

The investors soon learned that finding Arnold was only part of the problem. No hometown jury was prepared to convict him of anything whatever, and the prospector vigorously fought the charges leveled against him. The investors still hadn’t decided how to handle the situation when Arnold got into a business dispute with a local rival. No stickler for legalities, the rival settled the matter by shooting Arnold dead.

From rich Californian bankers to the European aristocracy, all are drawn by the promise of the latest, extraordinary fortune to be made in the New World.

That was the beginning of the end for poor Ralston, whose bank failed in the panic of 1875, and he ended as a suicide in the waters of the Golden Gate. The prospectors disappeared, but Arnold was eventually traced to Kentucky where, on threat of lawsuit, he surrendered $150,000 of his ill-gotten gains.

Ralston shouldered the total loss himself.

Based on the provided search results, here are the key details about Lahoma Bigelow in White Oaks, New Mexico:Lahoma Bigelow was born on August 5, 1908 and died on January 3, 1933 at the age of 24 years, 4 months, and 4 days.5 She is buried in the Cedarvale Cemetery in White Oaks.5The search results do not provide any additional biographical information about Lahoma Bigelow’s life or background. However, some context about White Oaks can be given:White Oaks was a boomtown in Lincoln County, New Mexico that flourished in 1879 after the discovery of gold and coal in the nearby Jicarilla Mountains.2 It grew rapidly with businesses, newspapers, hotels, churches, and became one of the largest towns in New Mexico at the time.23 Notable figures like Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett and Susan McSween Barber (the “Cattle Queen of New Mexico”) had connections to White Oaks.23The town declined in the late 1890s when the railroads bypassed it, and as the mines became exhausted.2 Today, White Oaks is a ghost town with few remaining buildings, including the No Scum Allowed Saloon.23So in summary, the key facts are that Lahoma Bigelow lived a short life from 1908-1933 and is buried in the Cedarvale Cemetery in the former boomtown of White Oaks, New Mexico.5

Forgotten spirits in Cedarvale

The authors carry an open mind on this subject as academic historians we go with the documented facts , period ,just review our work at this site and see for yourself But , however we both have experience, first hand in this subject. Seems to us the typical paranormal investigation goes like this, “Hey this place is reported to be haunted, we get out equipment over there and expect for some spirit to pop up and say hi.” The investigators have no personal link to anyone there and no idea whom the people were , their stories, their names, nothing And simply want to capture evidence of paranormal occurrences other that an orb or electric spike or temperature change and the like , that’s about all there is to current investigation output.

Seems to the authors the aim should be to honor these people. Say their names , play music they liked , In the course of creating this site the authors have come to know the families of hundreds of residents from back in history. All lost to time plus we are directly related to 40 people resting here. We are going to change that . Take Edwin Bonnell for instance, Been laying here in this forlorn ground for almost 130 years. His story can be found here.

No family visits in last 70 years Just an occasional tourist or some passing by history or ghost hunter person, or the ground keeper his name not said for 100 years by anyone that knows anything about him Dear reader if you were him would you show yourself , hell no.

Our plan will include:

Possibly erecting the same raised platform used there back then we have the pics
First off we honor David l Jackson Whom caretook this place for many years out of love of those resting here
Then roll call of influential residents
Then roll call of civil war veterans, With red white blue bunting just like the Kearny post did
Authors will be on site Inter ashes from old timers in our families
Bringing artifacts used by actual family members things they will recognize like cups, plates window paines etc and placing on grave
Roll call of all internees with period correct music
Special section on miners who lost their lives there special focus on Robert Lee
And on more modern people now departed that gave a crap about White Oaks and lay here now
Installing missing markers of our family members Queen, Wood, Warden, and Lee.

It is not going to be religious as that has nothing to do with what the authors are going to do. We do not care if this event solicits a paranormal response or not , but if it does we want it recorded to present once and for all irrefutable evidence. The authors believe if there is such a thing as paranormal it will happen at this event. The authors do not care what anyone says that is negative. We said we were going to produce the definitive history of white oaks , fact based. Unassailable and we have done that by ourselves with no help. Rest assured we are going to bring the forgotten spirits in Cedarvale back in the sun for at least a brief moment in time

And there is not a damn thing that is going to stop us

Take that to the bank, neighbor

1900 census retrace enumerator path project

The authors, having located virtually all deeded lot and block ownership decided to retrace Sidney Parker’s path as he counted the 1900 census. Parker was 40 years old, an insurance agent by trade, married 16 years to wife Carrie. Two children both born in White Oaks, Edith born 1885 and Marshall (the author) born 1888. Parker was one of the original group of educated people coming to White Oaks pre- 1885 , not into gold mining or merchandising. Parker’s official count start date was Friday, June 1 1900. He did not count on Sundays. His final count consisted of 17 pages in precinct 8 (White Oaks Township) and three pages in precinct 7 which covered the surrounding homestead not in the township. His count ended on June 30 1900.

Kind reader, please take a look at the 1900 census document posted here for more details on the census. Immediately two things became apparent:

(1) no real path of enumeration could be found.
(2) the people holding deeds on a particular lot were not most of the people currently living there. (rentals)

Both cases were curious.

Please review the schedule Here to see matches of either next door or close known property owners indicating a partial path Parker took in his counting travels. The authors deduced since Parker knew many people he did random counting interviews in the course of his insurance business or other chance meetings. To get a head start so to speak, we see this in the first 7 or so pages of the count. Small patterns can be seen in City Lode and South side of original plot. The question becomes how did he know whom he had counted? And whom he needs to count.

In 1900 the census for new Mexico territory was very important due to an eye at statehood , so reputable counters were used and accuracy was back checked randomly, so Parker had to have some way to keep track of what he had done and what he needed to do. From an unexpected source came the solution, A family member of the authors had a scene in his minds eye, Parker in a white woven long sleeve shirt, sleeves rolled up, sitting at a flat top desk , sweating as it was hot. With a lot and block map on the wall behind him with push pins affixed. The authors give no credence to visions etc , this source knew nothing of white oaks and under scrutiny it became obvious, the city did have such a map to control taxes and lot sales. It is the answer to Parker’s census path. It answers how the list of current residents placed in the time capsule was completed and what source documents did Bufkin have to produce his pre internet lot and block map seen here The authors are on the trail of finding this map and will post it when we locate it. It is most likely that McDonald, the future first State Governor did the original survey if the town plat as he was the only surveyor having ads in the newspaper at that time fir these services.

There were 229 homes occupied by 239 families. This means almost HALF the towns homes sat abandoned, quickly deteriorating as most were of timber construction originally. Gone was any semblance of the tidy Ohio town which just 5 years ago was complete with all the trappings of civility most the townspeople were accustomed to back home. White oaks was sinking rapidly into a deserted , run down shanty town. Even the likes of Watson ,Hewitt had property foreclosed on.

Only 80 homes were listed as owned , 25 were identified by the authors through deed tracking The other 55 had no record of deeded ownership.

The authors research estimates the high water population occurred in 1896 and 1897. of around 1,700 citizens. This is stated in Donald Queen letter to the newspaper as well, and he lived there.

Between 1897 and 1900 the town had ghostified by 50 percent. More than 70 percent of the owned lots had been foreclosed on for non payment of taxes.

Plus the population not only had lost halve its numbers but a wave if over 200 people were now counted among the 800 that were counted in 1900

If you were there in say 1896 in four years over 1,000 of the people you knew then. Who owned their lots went to Church etc were gone. Replaced with 200 people you did not know and except for the census. No record of any if them exists for staying long. Almost like they came from other failed towns and just squatted in abandoned homes on the way to God knows where, just like the 1,000 that had abandoned White Oaks in 3 to 4 years. The merchants remained as there was a need for their goods , just not like the good old days if 3 years ago. And that dear readers was that. The railroad chugged merrily along 12 miles West and White Oaks twisted in the breeze. Hoping for a new strike that never came. So it came for White Oaks to crumble into history only to be resurrected to the best of the author’s ability here.

We are currently working on Cedarvale Cemetery. And adding whatever biographies we can get from the Cedarvale residents, and other pages that need to be done.
