Abreu in Springer, Mrs. Emilio Valdez who resides in Sweet Water Valley in Springer, Jesus, Ramon, and Miss Sofia live at home. Rayado is a station in old Santa Fe and a marker has been placed by the Daughters of the Revolution.
Mrs. Abreu was a devout member patron of the Roman Catholic Church and the funeral service was conducted in the family chapel by two Fathers Collier assisted by Jose D. Senn, a nephew of the deceased "Grandma Abreu" was an aristocrat and commoner to the rich and poor and will be greatly missed by her friends and legion.
There were nine children, twenty three great-grandchildren were at the funeral to mourn her. The requiem mass was celebrated by Reverend Collier, while Father Collier, brother of the celebrant, sang in the choir.
