Maria Esther Doria de la Llata 

Note:

a) 1920 census says born in 1904 and marriage date from 1923 agrees with this. However burial stone says 1902. Border crossing 1951 says 1902.

Married first Gualberto Garcia Garza on 29 Jun 1923 in Linares, Nuevo León, Mexico. Son of Juan Manuel Garcia and Maria de la Garza. Married second time to Joe Nulf on 12-7-1953 in Yuma, AZ. Her petition for naturalization says that he was born 1-5-1884 in Iowa.

Daughter also named Maria Esther accompanied her across border in 1951. Child's last name is not given. Maria Esther's name is crossed out in parts and handwritten in so that it reads Doria-de la Llata, Maria Esther. Daughter is age 3. However, what is crossed out read Doria de M_____ and then her signature on the back side looks like Maria Doria de Martino (possibly).

Petition to be naturalized also states that she was 5'3" and 149 lbs with no distinctive marks, fair complexion, brown eyes, and gray hair. They lived at 2755 Teresita St., San Diego, CA (I feel as if I have seen this address before). Her occupation is housewife and this document backs up birthdate of April 10, 1902, Linares, Nuevo Leon. It states that the last time she entered the US was on April 8, 1955 via automobile under her maiden name for residence at that time at San Ysidro. It states she has one living child.
Alien registration number A8 927 716, signed Maria Esther Nulf.
Rear of page shows witnesses John Z. Pennington, occupation retired, of 2325 30th St., San Diego, CA and Alma O. Hotaling, occupation housewife, of 2747 Teresita St., San Diego, CA. Clerk signed petition July 15, 1963 and it is stamped at the bottom with August 23, 1963. Granted and issued certificate 8597245.
Apparently went and applied for naturalization at the same time as sister Guadalupe.
