Their Story:
Domingo lived in Imperial for twelve years where he was a farmer.  Six days before his 47th birthday on January 24, 1946, Domingo went to see doctor Gipson at the Gipson Hospital in Fort Stockton with a cut on his hand that had gotten infected.  It turned out he had lockjaw and Dr. Gipson treated him for 4 weeks.  Then on February 1, 1946 at 5:25 in the morning he died from complications of Tetnus.  Domingo died only two days after his 47th birthday.  His son, Hilario from Imperial, reported his death.  Luis Barrón was responsible for his burial in Fort Stockton.
"I was 15 months old when Domingo Chavarría died in Ft Stockton. I was sleeping and woke up to the loud cries of the women dressed in black. Mom had to “curarme de susto”!!! I’ve dreamt of that long ago."  Elida P Williams

Research on Domingo Chavarria and his family
On-going research
Elida P Williams The first child should be Juliana Chavarria she passed in Crane Tx. Simona passed in Kermit Tx & Dominga passed in Crane Tx (she married my uncle Antonio Primera, my dad’s brother). I’ll ck with grandson Mingo to see if tia Agripina was a Gonzales. Or I’ll ck with Mary Chavarria Gomez
---
Elida P Williams Mary should be the name born in 1941 I think. Maria. She’s the only survivor of all their children now.
---

Elida P Williams I asked my mom and she confirmed that Gonzales was tia Agripina’s maiden name.

Hello Tony I found Juliana was born January 26, 1936 and passed on July 23, 2004. She was married to Ismael Vijil Heredia. Juliana was born between Dominga & Maria. I don’t know who Jilino was. I only knew all the girls and Hilario (Lalo). I was 15 months old when Domingo Chavarria died in Ft Stockton. I was sleeping and woke up to the loud cries of the women dressed in black. Mom had to “curarme de susto”!!! I’ve dreamt of that long ago."  Elida P Williams
