From Pioneer Families of the Presidio San Agustin Del Tucson:
"Ursula was born about 1801 in Mexico. In 1831, the couple was living in Tucson with their four children, Jose Maria, Casimiro,Maria and Juan, in a civilian household...Ursula died on the evening of 23 September 1879 in Tucson and was buried in the Catholic Cemetery the following day. The Arizona Daily Star reported:
Mrs Ursula Solares, aged 78 years, died in Tucson last Tuesday night. She was one of the oldest residents of southern Arizona, having come here 63 years ago. Her husband was killed by the Indians in 1850 on the then outskirts of the small settlement of this place. On the approach of the American troops, when all others fled to San Xavier she remained in Tucson and opened a somewhat primitive bakery, from which she sold tortillas with considerable profit. Ever since she had remained in Tucson and yesterday the mournful toll of the bell announced her departure to the realms of eternity.
The Arizona Citizen reported:
Death of an Old Resident. Last evening at 9:00 one of Tucson's oldest inhabitants passed from the scenes she has known so long, into the long mysterious sleep of death. The deceased, Mrs. Ursula Solares, was born in Altar, Sonora in 1801 where she resided until she was fifteen years of age, when she removed to Tucson where she has resided ever since. When the first American troops entered Tucson all the Mexicans, with one exception, fled to the mountains in the vicinity of San Xavier; this one exception was Mrs. Solares. She often referred to the incident with a great deal of pride. The deceased was an excellent woman and leaves many friends to mourn her departure."
