Their story:
Felix was born in May 1894.

Today La Coyota is inside Big Bend National Park. Felix' parents had moved to La Coyota around 1884 from Fort Stockton and were among the original settlers of La Coyota.
The 1910 US Census shows Felix working as a laborer on a ranch in the Terlingua area. Felix and Paula lived in the Terlingua area until 1933. In 1933 they moved to Big Spring and lived there and in Rotan, Texas until their deaths. [Note: Rotan is aboout 80 miles northeast of Big Spring.]
Paula died of liver cancer May 13, 1938 in Rotan and is buried there. Felix died of uremia in Hall-Bennett Hospital, Big Spring June 15, 1970 and is buried in Mt. Olive Cemetery, Big Spring.
