Their story:
El Tio Jesus crossed and lived in Cerro Alto
They lived in Cerro Alto, Chihuahua. They got their mail across the river in the uS at El Indio in Presidio County, Texas.
According to Bob Wirt they lived in El Indio in Presidio County along the Rio Grande between Presidio and Ruidosa. Her family name was also Franco. Her parents were Jesus Franco and Fausta Sanchez. Jesus and Ventura were married 10 Mar 1920 in Jesus Nazareno Temple, Ojinaga.

Found a little bit of info in the 1900 Presidio County census:
Jesus Franco was born Sep 1869 in Mexico
Fausta Sanchez was born Jun 1879 in Mexico
Ventura Franco was born Mar 1898 in Mexico
The family immigrated to the U.S. in 1898.
In 1900 they were living in Presidio Town. At that time Ventura was the only child.
Jesus was working as a day laborer in 1900.
Could not find any of them in the 1910 census.
