Following from
Friday's post, here is another series of news clippings describing a grand ball organized by Junta Patriotica Mexicana celebrating Cinco de Mayo in Los Angeles. Frank Campuzano was president of the festival organization in 1891. The Junta Patriotica Mexicana organized events for Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Independence (16 September).

The Tucson Spanish-language newspaper El Fronterizo covered the event on 16 May 1891, and it provides more detail. I have copied a portion of it below:

The article lists Rosa de Campuzano as one of the participants at the ball. I believe she is Rosario Hinajosa de Campuzano, Frank's first wife.
