When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

Mexican Woman Mercedes Íñiguez Paz Dies at 110
Mercedes Íñiguez Paz, a resident of Colima City, Mexico, passed away on 26 February, at the age of 110 years, 8 days.
Íñiguez Paz was born in Colima, Mexico, on 18 February 1916. Her father, a carpenter, and her mother, a housewife, along with their young children, had difficulties and dangers brought by the Mexican Revolution (1910-1917) and the Cristero War (1926-1929). She began her elementary education late, at the age of nine, completing only the first five years of basic education.
She married Alejandro Castellanos Núñez in December 1937, and from 1938 to 1962, they gave birth to ten children: Domingo, Carlos, Carmen (died in 1972 at 29), Refugio, Julio Alejandro, Salvador, Jorge (died in 1962 at 9), Daniel, Miguel, and Mercedes. Her husband Alejandro died in April 1982, after 44 years of marriage.
