Encarnación
was born in Pinar del Rio Cuba on the 23rd of May 1890 in a farm belonging to
her parents Dr. Emilio Salazar e Hidalgo Gato and Juana Roges y Medina. At
the age of ten years (when she lost her mother) it was decided to send her
to the United States for her education...The College of St. Elizabeth in
Convent, NJ was chosen. At first, she and her sister Ofelia were very
lonesome...They did not know English and everything was strange. Finally
they decided to run out and play with the other children. They remained in this
school over six or eight years when her father decided that they should return
to Cuba. She married Benito Lloygori on October 18, 1918 when we were living in
Consulado 59 in Havana. He was living at the time in a Boarding House
located on the top floor of the building in Consulado 59. Encarnita, as
she was called, had a parrot, which she fed with her hands in the afternoon,
while flirting, in a way and looking at Benito. Finally, Benito, requested
a friend of his named Damborenes, to introduce him to my father. Shortly,
they were married on the 18th of October. It was a Civil wedding which
took place in a town called Calvario, Havana Province.
Benito is the son of Carmen Pimentel de
Lloygori. He had a brother, Pepe, who never married. Benito worked
with General Motors, twenty-five years and held important positions as a
salesman, being transferred to different countries on account of his knowledge
of languages (French, English and Spanish). In his youth he was an Aviator
and held the title of being the first aviator in Spain. He died the 1st of
February 1976 at the age of 90. He was born September 4, 1885 in B
