1977Presbyterian Church / Primera Iglesia Presbiteriana on E Jefferson
Dan Garcia
[Editor's note: from our Facebook page. I took a photo of this church near Washington Park and noticed date on sign indicated it was founded 100 years before being rebuilt. Not wanting to do any research on what is simply a regular customarily "Sunday" day-of-worship FB post it was a "blessing" that someone who knew the history saw it. Thanks to Dan Garcia for sharing photos of the founding members with us.]

This was my great grandfather and great grandmother, Eleazar Santiago Garcia and Isabel Longoria Garcia. This picture was in a texas magazine many years back. They were from Brownsville and he was the minister for la Primera Iglesia Presbyteriana Mexican that his dad started over by Putgnat Elem. They used to smuggle Bibles into Mexico to try and spread Presbyterian faith there.
Here's a pic of Eleazar and me. My family says we look alike
