“As far as is known from family records and oral history, Asadores Ranch first belonged to Salvador Cavazos Gallegos and San Juana Anzaldua, his wife.”

“Asadores Ranch was situated in the La Blanca Land Grant given by the Mexican government in 1834 to Lino Cavazos of Reynosa, a son of Matias and Manuela Hinojosa Cavazos. This land embraced five leagues of black-cattle pasturelands or 22,14o acres”

“Mrs. Belen Munoz Avila and Mrs. Andrea Munoz Campbell remember when as young girls, they were taken to La Lomita Chapel, Mission, to make their first communion. They also remember wedding celebrations and dances they went to in McAllen, Edinburg, and Mercedes.” SOURCE: Mary E.
