| Excerpt from "El Libro Azul de El Salvador, 1916" p. 352 |
Patricia Morales Tijerino's "aha" moment:
"What I have gathered with the information in the Blue Book is that the Fundición Mercedes and the coffee mill that my grandfather Erasmo Morales owned (also according to the Blue Book) were in the same neighborhood. My sister and I figured that probably that's how Erasmo met Elena McIntire.
"Who knows, maybe he went to the Fundición to commission some iron parts for his mill....and laid eyes on Elena....They were married in January 1911 before that major fire [at the Fundición Mercedes] mentioned in the book."
