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 — Black Jack Tom Ketchum

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record By Janice Dunnahoo Special to the Daily Record Sam Ketchum’s story was told last week. Today, I am sharing with you the follow-up story about the other brother, Thomas Edward Ketchum, known as “Black Jack.” Black Jack Ketchum had a story of his own. As stated last week, both these brothers were caught and paid dearly for their crimes — this was real life, it happened here in our state. They did have another brother, G.B. (Green Berry) Ketchum, who tried to help, but I guess the “bad blood” was too strong for the other brothers to change their ways. Their stories read like a Western movie dialog, but it is a part of the true history and happenings of this state.

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. The 25 people in the party represented 14 states, but not New Mexico Historical Society for Southeast New Mexico Photo. 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: The amigo of Billy the Kid - Roswell Daily Record

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record By Janice Dunnahoo Special to the Daily Record I love to share the old stories about our local history, especially if those old stories are about Billy the Kid, Lincoln, Ft. Stanton, New Mexico or the Lincoln County War. The story I’m sharing today was written almost 88 years ago and published in the New Mexico Magazine, featuring the article, “Billy the Kid died almost 140 years ago.” There were still a few old timers around who remembered, and even ran with Billy the Kid at the time this article was written April 1933 one of them being Ygenio Salazar, a close friend of Billy’s. Salazar relates some funny and interesting stories about his times with Billy, and raised a question historians still argue about today. I hope you enjoy.

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
