Genealogy Gold: Discovery of death certificate of Great Great Grandfather Dolores "Doroteo" Valdepena Mártir de Cananea La Huelga de 1906- Martyr of the Cananea strike of 1906.
Great Great Grand father was shot off his horse and the first casualty of the strike that was the precursor of the Mexican Revolution.
Death record:
In Cananea, Sonora, Mexico there is a monument with the names of 11 martyrs killed in the strike.
It fills me with pride that my Great Great Grandfather Dolores "Doroteo" Valdepena was a Martyr of working people and Mexico!
