Obituary Gertrudes (Zimmerly) Torres, wife of Herminio Torres

I found the obituary for Gertrudes (Zimmerly) Torres, the wife of Herminio Torres,  in the 7 September 1920 issue of the Albuquerque Morning Journal. The newspaper erroneously lists her as Gertrudes Torres Zimmerly, which would indicate that her maiden name would have been Torres, rather than Zimmerly. Gertrudes was the daughter of Samuel Zimmerly and Maria Pabla Torres, and a sister of my great-grandfather Estevan Zimmerly.

ZIMMERLY - Mrs. Gertrudes Torres Zimmerly, 48 years old, died yesterday at her home 313 West Hazeldine avenue. She is survived by a son, two daughters and her husband. Funeral arrangements will be made today. The body was taken to Crollott's funeral parlors.

Socorro County Delayed Birth Records, 1867 - 1885

Over a decade ago I posted to the Socorro County USGenWeb website a list of Delayed Birth Records for specific Socorro County residents born in the county between 1867 - 1885. Delayed Birth Records are types of official birth certificates issued to individuals when they were adults. This was done because a person would have requested to have a birth certificate for some official need, and would have been backed up by a baptismal record and affidavits.

Although I transcribed these records, I don't want to post the list on this site because they are copyrighted by USGenWeb. However, you can view the list at this link.
