Jose Aleman with sheep.  Jose worked for John Aleman but if I remember correctly, he was not related to the Aleman’s.  Unknown date.

23. Priest praying

Priest praying with Etchamendy family.  Many families told of this practice to ask for safe travels on the trail and for ewes giving birth.  This would have been taken someplace in the east valley of Phoenix where the Etchamendy grazed their sheep in the winter months.  Unknown date.
