Grandpa Caustrita

Posted by Esther <mariachiestee@yahoo.com> on Fri, 19 Sep 2008, in response to what are you sure that that where it came from?, posted by sandra dee caustrita on Sat, 23 Feb 2008

I don't know much about my grandpa's back ground, but I do know he was born in Torreon Mexico. His mother died when she gave birth to him. As far as we know he had no sibblings. My great grandfather then came to the states and married a lady in Texas. My grandfather married my grandma Francis and they lived in Crystal City Texas and raised their big family. My mom is one of the eldest in the family and she talked about her growing up in Crystal City, Texas working on the Keller Farm. They lived in Crystal City for many years until my grandfather moved his family to Ohio. They lived there for a few years and then he decided to move the family to San Jose, California. Alejandra, my mom had since married to my dad, Emiterio Munoz and they stayed in Texas. She was my granddad's twinkle in his eyes. Our family is very big and we are all over the map. Texas, California, Florida,Ohio, Michigan to name a few. My mom recalls her younger years making tortillas before the school bus came to pick her up in the mornings to go to school. She recalls when my grandma was diagnosed with whooping cough and was hospitalized and away from her children. The older children had to cook and feed the little ones. It was rough and my mom even quit school to help support the family by working in the cotton fields. My grandfther died from a massiave heart attack. He was in his 50's and he is buried in San Jose. Since his passing, my tia Maria, Grandma and tio Chuy have also left this world. My mom is 69 and she has been a housewife since she married at the sweet age of 20. She is a great mom and always full of advise. She is a mother of o three daughters and a grandma to seven grandchildren. My parents have been married 49years and they make a cute couple. My aunts are Janie, Pauline, Amelia and Mildred....my uncles are Jose, Robert, Baldemar, David, Julian and Saul. (RIP Grandpa, Grandma, Tia Maria and Tio Chuy). Any questions, let me know.
