The oldest (documented) living person in Paraguay is currently 108-year-old Juan Martín Fretes (b. 14 Feb 1915) of Santa Elena. At the time of writing, he is one of just 8 surviving Paraguayan veterans of the Chaco War, a conflict which took place between Paraguay and Bolivia from 1932 to 1935. An article was written about him last week.

Canuto González Brítez (b. 19 January 1916) turned 108. He has been the oldest (documented) living person in Paraguay since the death of Juan Martín Fretes on 5 July 2023, although there are almost certainly older cases that haven't yet been verified.

Ms. Damiana Alvarenga, of Pedro Juan Caballero, Amambay, Paraguay, celebrated her claimed 110th birthday on 1 Jun 2024.
She was first reported as celebrating her 110th in 2020, where researchers noted her more likely date of birth was 1 Jun 1914.
She celebrated her 110th birthday again in 2023.
According to the news article, her ID records her with a year of birth of 1916, but claims there was a mistake in recording her year of birth when registering for an ID. She claims to have been born on 1 Jun 1914 in Pedro Juan Caballero, Paraguay to a mother Bernarda Alvarenga, a pioneering woman in that city.

Chaco War veteran, Paraguayan Virgilio Dávalos Rey, turns 110

Virgilio Dávalos Rey, one of the last surviving veterans of the Chaco War (1932–1935), celebrated his 110th birthday on October 8th. His birthday was first reported by the Prensa 5.

Virgilio Dávalos Rey was born in the rural town of Plácido, on the outskirts of Coronel Oviedo, Caaguazu Department, Paraguay, on 8 October 1914. He was the fourth of six children born to parents Remigio Dávalos and Lorenza Rey.

At an early age, during the Chaco War (1932–1935), he applied to serve as a soldier in the War Intendancy, where he was responsible for providing logistics for the front lines, including uniforms, ammunition, medicines, and weapons. He was later assigned to the Navy, where he sailed the Pilcomayo River to conduct inspections in the conflict-ridden region. Later, he served in the Infantry Regiment No. 10 “Sauce.” The regiment’s objective was to block the advance of the Bolivians toward Fort Alihuatá. In April 1935, while on the front lines, he fell ill and was unable to continue serving as a soldier, prompting him to return to the Military Hospital for a three-month rest. After his recovery, he returned to his community of Plácido, where he was visited by his brother Narciso, also a combatant, who informed him that the war had ended.

Due to the war, he lost the hearing in one ear, and his eyesight was also affected. Once he recovered, he was called to work in the military quartermaster’s office due to his self-taught skills in writing and calculations.

At some point, he married Teresa Lopez de Davalos, with whom he had six daughters: Tomasa, Nimia, Francisca, Apolonia, Dominga, and Sara. After the war, he settled in his native Plácido, where he focused on trading local fruits, tobacco, petitgrain essence, and buying and selling cattle, among other activities.

Happy 110th birthday to him! 🙂

Really, a blessing for Latin American male SCs is that Latin America was not devastated by huge wars during the 20th century (the Chaco War was an exception to the general rule and wasn't anywhere near as huge as the World Wars were) like Europe, East Asia, and to a lesser extent North America were.
