Martha Corcoran and sister, 8/19/1980
File — Box: 1, Folder: 6
Scope and Contents
Summary of notes: You can hear them, but sometimes it is faint, and the interviewer is too loud, and there is a constant noise in the background. Their story and comments are quite interesting. They repeat what their immigrant father told them about Gallup when he arrived in 1889. He operated a saloon and told them about not serving alcohol to Indians. When Prohibition put him out of business, he went to work for the Gallup Mercantile Store. The sisters talk about their parents, school, Lent, Christmas, foods, leisure time, jobs, marriages and husbands. They also comment on Navajos and Hispanics of the area.
