Rafael Trevino Barrera, 1903 Civil Registry Death Record, Ciudad Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico

The following is the 1903 death transcription of Rafael Trevino Barrera at the very young age of 17 years old. A few days ago I posted his 1884 Civil Registry Birth Record. He was the brother of my 2nd great grand mother Maria de Jesus Trevino Barrera. The following document indicates that he died from a gun shot wound. Unfortunately it does not indicate if he was murdered or if it was an accident. I can’t imagine the grief that this might have caused the whole family.
