Theodoro died age 68 yearsTeodoro was the son of Jesus Maria and Maria de Jesus Josefa (Martin) Casados. He married María Macedonia Sena on 8 Dec 1854 in San Miguel County, New Mexico Territory. The following children were born from this union: Maria Ylaria de Los Dolores, Perfecto, Isabelita, Pedro and Juan de Dios Sena Casaus.

Teodoro was the one who started building the Sacred Heart Church of Dilia, New Mexico. When he died his wishes were to be buried inside the church, but he died before it was completed. The story goes that after the service when they were taking his body to the local cemetery to be buried the horses would not enter the cemetery. It was not until a promise to him was made that when the Church was completed they would dig up his grave and move him to the Church to be buried as he wished, that the horses continued into the cemetery to allow the burial. This story was told to me by my grandmother, great granddaughter of Teodoro.
