This post is a work-in-progress. I have to interview my
eldest aunt to gather more information about Refugio's life. My
Tia told me that her Mama Cuca (as Refugio was known to her grandchildren) loved
her grandchildren very much. My Tia Came
called her a “abuela de verdad.”
*******************************
Refugio Arroyo was born and raised in Tarimoro, GTO. Her baptism record states that
she was baptized on February 26, 1878, at San Miguel Arcangel church. Her parents are listed as Esteban Arroyo and
Leandra Jimenez.
She married Apolonio Trejo on April 3, 1894 in Tarimoro,
GTO, at the age of 16.
As mentioned in a previous post, she was widowed in 1916, at the age of 38. She never remarried.
She was living with her son, Guadalupe, at the time the 1930 Mexican Census was taken.
