Murder in Guadalupe County

Murder in Guadalupe County includes the homicides of thirty-three males and seven females. Three of the victims were law enforcement officials---two Guadalupe county deputy sheriffs and one Santa Rosa town marshal. The three were all killed while carrying out their law enforcement duties. Only one of the cases included was committed by a female, a woman who killed her husband. The most famous of the murders was also the earliest one, the slaying of Juan Patr n in 1884 at a Puerto de Luna saloon. Juan Patr n had been a friend of Billy the Kid in Lincoln county during the days of the famous Lincoln County War. The infamous outlaw is known to have visited Patr n in Puerto de Luna. Patr n later served as speaker of the house in the New Mexico territorial legislature. The murders are all presented in alphabetical order according to the surname of the victim. They stand as a reminder that law and order did not always prevail in making Guadalupe county safe for its citizens. However, in most cases, the perpetrators were brought to justice.

Grzelachowski and Clancey: El Padre Polaco y el Capitán Clance

Grzelachowski and Clancey: El Padre Polaco y el Capitán Clance

Alexander Grzelachowski and Capt. John G. Clancey were two pioneers in territorial New Mexico. Both of them lived in what was then San Miguel county in the area around Puerto de Luna. Grzelachowski established a business in Puerto de Luna in 1873. Capt. Clancey came to the area in the same year, shortly after Grzelachowski had established his mercantile business. Grzelachowski encouraged Capt. Clancey to go into the sheep business. The captain took the advice and began raising sheep in an area south of Puerto de Luna. He affectionately referred to the location of his ranch as "el Alamo Gordo." They were known by the Hispanic population of the area as el Padre Polaco and el Capit n Clance. Grzelachowski got his name because he had been a Catholic priest when he first came into New Mexico in 1851. After serving in several Catholic parishes in northern New Mexico he left the priesthood and settled in Las Vegas in 1863. He established a mercantile business on the Las Vegas Plaza. In 1873 he also opened a mercantile business in Puerto de Luna. He left his Las Vegas business interests in charge of his partner, Richard Dunn and relocated to Puerto de Luna with his small family, his wife, Secundina, a daughter, Adelina, and a son, Adolfo. His other children, Amelia, Emilia, Oscar, Leticia, Celina, and Florentina were all born in Puerto de Luna. Capt. Clancey had four children, his step-daughter, Camila Moore, Juan Jorge, who was his Spanish language namesake (John George), Carlos Cornelius, and Carolina. All four were born in Puerto de Luna. The area population also found it easier to refer to him as Padre Polaco because of the difficult pronunciation and even more difficult spelling of his surname, Grzelachowski. Likewise, Hispanics found it easier to call Clancey by the Spanish phonetic pronunciation of Capt. Clancey, Capit n Clance. Clancey's name was also widely spelled as Clancy without the "e." Eventually his two sons, Juan and Carlos, adopted the Clancy spelling.

Cuentos de La Pastura: Tales of a Guadalupe County Railroad Town

Cuentos de La Pastura: Tales of a Guadalupe County Railroad Town

Pastura is a Spanish word meaning pasture, the community being located on rich grasslands in the rolling llanos, plains, of southern Guadalupe County. Pastura owes its existence to the El Paso and & Northeastern railway which came into the area in 1901. Pastura is located on U. S. Highway 54 about nineteen miles southwest of Santa Rosa. It once had several elementary schools located in its vicinity. It also had a post office from 1903-60. Early pioneers in the Pastura area were sheep ranchers or worked for some of the large sheep ranchers in the area. One of the sheep ranchers was the governor of the Territory of New Mexico, Miguel Otero. The entry of the railroad into the area made it easy for the sheep ranchers to transport their sheep and wool. The early railroad was high maintenance and many men from the area worked for the railroad. The economy of Pastura was driven by the sheep industry and the railroad. As the need for workers from the two main methods of employment began to decrease, so did the economy and population of Pastura. Today the Southern Pacific railroad passes through the once thriving village. Pastura was founded in 1901 by employees of the railroad and the Pintada Trading Co., owned by the Charles Ilfeld Co. The company name was later changed to the Pastura Trading Company. Cuentos de la Pastura, tales of Pastura in English, is a collection of vignettes about Pastura and the surrounding area. Most of the vignettes have been culled from old newspaper articles about Pastura and its people. Included in Cuentos are several stories about some of Pastura's military heroes dating back to World War I. The son of a Pastura rancher was killed in a ship board coal dust explosion in WWI. Another sailor from Pastura was killed when his submarine was sunk by Japanese destroyers near the end of WWII. A Pastura soldier made the supreme sacrifice during the Korean War. Many of the vignettes are about the trials and tribulations of some of the early Pastura pioneers. Some of the vignettes are accompanied by photographs which help tell a story.

Cuentos de Milagro, Tales of a Guadalupe County Village is a about the old Guadalupe county village located off Interstate 40 on the western end of the county, about two miles east of Torrance county. The small village once had a post office, an elementary school and a Catholic church. The post office was opened in 1916 and was closed in 1935. The school was in operation from then 1910s until it was closed in 1965. The church, Nuestra Se ora de Dolores, only had services for special occasions and was served by a priest from Anton Chico. The church has been kept in good repair and is now maintained by the Mu iz family. A Sunday afternoon mass is held one Sunday a month. The priest comes from Santa Rosa. Most of the early settlers to the area arrived there to claim land under the provisions of the Homestead Act. They managed to survive by dry farming and ranching. Perhaps the most famous homesteader was Jos Ch vez y Ch vez. Ch vez y Ch vez gained notoriety during the Lincoln County War. He was an associate of the famous outlaw, Billy the Kid, during the conflict which took place in Lincoln county. There is also information about several other homesteads located in the Milagro area. The homestead documents help establish a time frame for when the first settlers came into the area. Ch vez y Ch vez eventually drifted north to Las Vegas where he became a policeman. Unfortunately, he also found himself involved with a notorious businessman in the area, Vicente Silva. He became a member of Silva's gang of outlaws, La Gavilla de Silva, Silva's Gang, and straddled both sides of the law. He was convicted for murder; a murder carried out under orders from Silva, and was sent to the territorial penitentiary. He managed to avoid execution through legal maneuvering and had his sentence commuted to a life term. He later assisted the prison guards at the Penitentiary of the Territory of New Mexico during an uprising of prisoners. As a result he received a pardon from the territorial governor. After his pardon, he drifted around and eventually he remarried and settled in Milagro. He died in 1923 and is buried in an abandoned cemetery in Milagro.

Cuentos de Dilia, Tales of a Farming Village is about the Guadalupe county community of Dilia. In its glory days, Dilia was located on the historic Route 66. However, in the 1930s, Dilia was bypassed. Dilia eventually saw U. S. Highway 84 pass come into the area on its north-south route through New Mexico. Cuentos de Dilia consists of a series of vignettes, mostly culled from old newspapers about events and people who once lived in the area. Many of them are Spanish-language articles and include an English translation. Some of the articles are about the deaths of some of the leading citizens who once inhabited the area. Others would probably best categorize them as wild and woolly stories. Also included are some everyday news items that help portray life in the rural community.
