The authors of this cronica1 were privileged to participate in the funeral rites held for Dona Teofila Marcelina Jaramillo Serrano on August 9, 2012. Chela Sandoval’s beloved Tia Teofila was 95 years old, born in Canones, New Mexico in 1917. Here in the Rio Arriba is where most of the Serrano-Sandoval-Lucero-Archuleta family dynasty has lived since the sixteenth century—and before. Dona Teofila Jaramillo lived her entire life in the village of Canones, where in 1936 she married Salomon Serrano, another lifelong resident of Canones. Many of Don Salomon and Dona Teofila’s surviving friends, and loved ones remain in that village. But many more live in the neighboring pueblos of Abiquiu, Medenales, Coyote, the Santa Clara Pueblo—indeed, throughout Rio Arriba county. |
