Guest of Honor

LA Times, 27 Aug 1916.

The clipping above describes a dinner reception for the head of the Alianza Hispano-Americana and local leaders in Los Angeles in 1916. The guest of honor, Enrique (E.V.) Anaya, was a Los Angeles native but based in Tucson. He is quite a colorful character in Arizona and was active in Mexico during the period of upheaval of the 1910s. He was among the founders of the Alianza Hispano-Americana, an important Mexican-American mutual aid society, not unlike Liga Protectora Latina.

The article describes the dinner and mentions a Mr. Campuzano of the local Alianza lodge in Los Angeles. I believe this was either Francisco A. Campuzano or Jose M. Campuzano Jr. Frank was active in Junta Patriotica Mexicana and the Order of Foresters in Los Angeles.
