Ramon Contreras was born in Zacapu, Mexico on January 21, 1917 to Antonio and Senida Contreras. His father, Antonio Contreras, was a blacksmith during the Mexican Revolution and made horseshoes for the soldiers’ horses in Pancho Villa’s army. The family fled to America after a soldier had told Antonio to take his family and leave, as he would not be paid for his work. Antonio, with his pregnant wife Senida, and Ramon traveled to America and finally settled in San Bernardino, Calif (showing 500 of 6098 characters). |
