Patricia kindly translated the notice at the bottom, center column, entitled: Luto
"Don Bartolo Mc.Intire
Mr. Bartolo McIntire has deceased today in this capital, a gentleman highly esteemed in social circles. A United States original, he came to this country many years ago and established here definitely. He contributed greatly to the development of mechanics, and the Fundición Mercedes workshops were established under his management. Many elegant buildings of this city were built by him. It is worth mentioning the legacy of former president Carlos Meléndez, where the Mexico Legacy is located now. We deeply deplore the loss of the McIntire gentleman and send his grieving family the expressions of our condolences."

MOURNING NOTE -
Don Bartolo Mc Intire
We were already at the time of printing press when we received the sad news of the decease in this capital city of Don Bartolo McIntire, a North American who lived in El Salvador, and who was linked to various honorable households in the country, and who are today in mourning.
The life journey of this foreigner was well accomplished, a man who seemed to have come to show our youth, by eloquent example, how to make use of time in a practical manner, how personal energy stamped with constant work translates into material assets that provide spiritual satisfaction; with what means an unknown man opens roads and makes a way, dominating the environment and earning respect and consideration. That is how, don Bartolo, who first and foremost was a man in a way that the honorable concept of being a man signifies, it can be said that he said farewell to life peacefully, because he knew how to fill every minute of his existence with intense and rewarding labor.
He was, here, the organizer of Taller Mercedes (Iron Workshop). In California he had his leg cut; and he, who was an excellent mechanic, built an artificial limb for himself that was so perfect, that the defect was hardly noticed.
He fathered a numerous family, and leaves them with the memory of a clean and respected name.
We send our expressions of condolence to the family of the estimable deceased.
