Celso VILLARREAL Ramirez was born on February 25, 1864. This is the birth date on his grave marker. The 1880 Census shows his age as 14, which would indicate a birthdate after June 5, 1865 and before June 5, 1866. However, since Celso was listed before Romana in the "Inventario de la Casa del Finado Don Gregorio Villarreal", my belief is that Celso was older than Romana. Romana's age was given as 16 in the 1880 Census. It appears to me that the 1880 Census reversed their ages and that Celso was 16 in 1880 and Romana was 14. He was baptized in 1864. He died on January 31, 1947. He was buried in 1947 in Eugenio Longoria cemetery, Brooks County, TX, USA.
