Ramirez Family - 1937 - El Paso, Texas

The image shows Beatriz and Ruperto Ramirez and their children: Micaela, Juanita, Maria, and Gregoria. The pictures dates from 1937. Apart from their names, their identities are unknown. As many El Pasoans they went to the Casasola Photograph Studio to take a picture. Alfonso Casasola, a member of a famous family of Mexican photographers, came to El Paso in the 1920s after several years in the Mexican consular service. He established the Casasola Studio (also known by its Spanish name, Estudio Casasola) at 511 S. El Paso Street and was active in many civic organizations. He died on February 17, 1948 at the age of 59, but his wife, Emma Flores Casasola, continued the studio for many years.
