From Chihuahua to Dallas, Oregon in 1907

It sure seems like Atilana Nayares Phillips[1] had an unfair amount of sorrow in her life.  Yet in spite of what life threw at her, she found a way to keep going. To borrow a descriptor from another famous Oregonian, she was one tough mother. Researching her life events in civil registration books, census records and gravestones is frustratingly devoid of insights into how she dealt with the losses and upheavals in her life. I can’t help but wonder what she was feeling when she arrived in Dallas, Oregon in 1907[2] from Hidalgo del Parral in Chihuahua, Mexico.

Thanks to a law passed in 1859, the Mexican Government kept very detailed records, requiring individuals to appear before a civil judge with witnesses for births, deaths and marriages.[3]  Much of what we know of Atilana’s early life comes from these records that have been helpfully digitized and made available for free by the LDS genealogy site FamilySearch.org.

Atilana Nayares (sometimes spelled Anayares, Anajares, Nallares and Najares[4]) was born in 1871[5] in “Pueblo de Los Pinos” in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.[6]   By the time of her first marriage in 1890[7] she had relocated to Hidalgo del Parral, a city in a rich mining area which had been known for and profited from its silver and mineral deposits since the 1600s.  Several years after Atilana’s move to Oregon, the city would become infamous as the place in which Mexican revolutionary leader Francisco “Pancho” Villa was assassinated.[8]

The civil registers give us some clues about Atilana’s early life.  We know that the name of Atilana’s father never appears in the records which show her marriages and the births of many of her children, suggesting her parents never married.  Later census records after she moved to the United States claimed her mother was born in Mexico, but that her father was born in Italy.[9]

She, however, was married at 19 to José Felipe Grajeda Martinez.[10]  The couple would welcome the births of six children, only three of whom would survive their early childhood.[11]  Within the short span of one very bad year, Atilana would lose her one-day-old son Cesario to what the doctor described as “Eclampsia,”[12] her four-year-old daughter Alejandra to life ending second degree burn, and her 34-year-old husband to an epileptic event. She was a widow at 29 with three young children (Paz, Blasa and María) to raise on her own.[13]

Atilana’s next appearance in the civil registration records comes about a year and a half later when she appeared before a judge with twin boys Felipe and Cayetano, if this record is to be believed, just 3 ½ hours after giving birth.  Later records suggest it might have been a week after giving birth, but still!  Their father’s name is not included in the record, but there is statement that they are “hijos ilegítimos” (illegitimate sons) under the definition of the civil code.[14]  Tragedy would again strike her home nine days after this record was made, when little Cayetano died of what the doctor described as acute gastroenteritis.[15]

It seems very likely that the twins were the sons of an American miner living in the area – Isaac Phillips, who Atilana would later marry and move with to Dallas, Oregon.  Surviving twin Felipe, later Phillip would be listed as a son and heir in Isaac’s will in ways that Atilana’s older children were not.[16]

Isaac Philips was a Kentucky-born, Civil War Veteran.[17]  After he was discharged from the Union army he made his way west mining – first for quartz in Owyhee County, Idaho[18] and eventually gold, silver, copper and lead in Chihuahua.[19]  Isaac was 28 years Atilana’s senior.[20]  If it wasn’t a love match, I hope it was at least a like match.

The couple would have three more sons (Robert,[21] José/Joseph[22], Isaac[23]) before officially marrying in 1907.[24]  Son Tomás, later Thomas, was born in that same year and was presented to the judge by his father Isaac.[25]

1907 was another big year for Atilana.  In addition to a wedding and new baby, by December the entire family had relocated to a different country.  An article in the Polk County Observer on December 31, 1907 announced that: “Isaac Phillips and Family of Mexico, are visiting the home of Mr. and Mrs. T.D. Philips.  They will secure property and settle near Dallas.”[26]  T.D. was in fact Thomas Durham Philips, Isaac’s younger brother.[27]  While being close to family may have been a motivation for selecting Dallas, a notation in Isaac’s obituary hints that political changes in Mexico, then on the eve of revolution, was a catalyst for wanting to move.  “[Isaac] was successful in Mexican mining ventures, but impending trouble and revolutions led him to forsake that country and come to Oregon,” the obituary reads.[28]  The family bought 50 acres southeast of Dallas and took to farming. By the time they listed this property for sale, it was advertised as being “50 acres, 1 ¼ miles from town, southeast, all under cultivation; no wasteland; 15 acres in orchard.”[29]  The 1910 US Federal Census paints a vivid picture of a busy and bilingual household on a fruit farm, parents and all nine children listed as speaking English and Spanish.[30]

The family eventually also purchased a house in town,[31] on Main Street.[32]  The original plat of the area doesn’t list any cross streets, and I’ve spent many hours trying to track down exactly where the house was.  Best I can guess, cross referencing the legal description, Polk County’s GIS system and Sanborn maps is that it once stood on the NE corner of what was then Cherry and Main Streets and that it is possible that the Phillps‘ family converted what was the original offices for the Salem Falls City and Western that occupied most of that area into their home.  The house no longer stands.[33] It was this property that was left to Atilana in her husband’s will upon his death.[34]

Isaac, who garners the most newspaper coverage, seemingly settled into community life in Dallas.  Most of the newspaper mentions are of his involvement in the local chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic – a veterans’ organization for those who served in the Union Army during the Civil War.  He marched in parades[35] and attended reunions and conferences.[36]  He is also listed as an elder in the Dallas Christian Church.[37]  After two marriages within the Catholic Church, one wonders a bit about how Atilana felt about the changes around her.   Outside of her full house, was she able to find community and fellowship herself?

Two more sons (William Taft and John) were born to the family in Dallas.  More sorrow came as well.  Son William died at just 23-days-old from lung congestion.[38]  A gravestone in the Dallas Cemetery marks William’s grave.  On the stone is etched Atilana’s name, maybe the only artifact left of her presence in the Dallas area.

There were close calls, too.  Atilana’s oldest son, Paz, was the victim of an unusual hit and run accident while bicycling in 1910.  The West Salem Stage (think bus before there were buses – so wagon/carriage drawn by horses) knocked him down, smashed his bicycle, and didn’t stop to see if he was ok.  Paz, who took his stepfather’s surname, was described as “a little Spanish lad” despite the fact that he was 19-years-old at the time.  He suffered a puncture wound between his shoulder blades from the wagon tongue.  The article notes that he was most upset that his brand-new bicycle that had cost him $15 had been destroyed.[39]  Paz made a full recovery and would go on to work for the Southern Pacific Railroad as a section hand in Dallas[40] before moving to San Francisco.[41]

Isaac passed away in 1927, after a short stay in the Oregon State Veterans home in Roseburg.  He left the house in Dallas to Atilana for use during her lifetime.  She soon moved to San Francisco where several of her children had also relocated.[42]  She died just a couple of years later at age 58.[43]

[1] Sources indicate that Atilana Nayares at various times in her life was known as Atilana Nayares and Atilana Phillips.  We recognize that in record keeping in Mexico, women would have kept their father’s surnames when married.  Also note, that no father’s name is given on her civil registration (just mother — Amada Nayares).  When she appears in the civil registration records in her precinct in Chihuahua, she is identified as Atilana Nayares, even after her marriage to Felipe Grajeda/Grageda.  Also note that records within the United States show her as using a married name of Phillips.  I’ve chosen to list these surnames here to cover all bases of people researching this individual.  Note these names here: Nayares (birth surname – mother’s name and her legal name in Mexico even after her marriages), Grajeda (first husband’s paternal surname and the name given to her children with him) and Phillips (second husband’s name which she used as legal name during her time in the U.S.).

Note also, that several (but not all) of the Civil Registration records from Chihuahua, list Atilana’s name with a “Ma” prior to the name, suggesting her full name may have been Maria Atilana.  However, this does not appear to be a name she used later in life, so we have left it off here.  See Williams, Sonja “Understanding Documents form Mexico” https://files.nc.gov/dpi/documents/student_info/UnderstandingDocumentsfromMexico.doc for more information on naming conventions and abbreviations.

“Isaac Phillips has purchased several acres of farm land adjoining the Holman dairy ranch near Dallas, and will settle there with his family.  Mr. Phillips is a brother of T.D. Phillips, and came from Mexico only a short time ago in search of a home in the United States.”

Similarly, Isaac Phillips’ obituary (“Phillips Rites Held at Dallas This Afternoon” Capital Journal 15 April 1927 pg. 3 (Newspapers.com)) reads: “.  He was successful in Mexican mining ventures but impending trouble and revolutions led him to forsake that country and come to Oregon in 1907.  He settled near Dallas and has since resided here.”
