Biography

Ursula was born about 1865 to unknown parents and was adopted by Ricardo Rivera and María Gertrudis Salazar.^[1][2] In 1882 she married Jose Pablo Garcia^[1] and they had 10 children: Clotilde, Rosa Ana, Ramonsita Sofia, Juanita Deluvina, Rogerio, María Onofre, Francisca, Juana Elisa, Ernesto, and Henrique or Hilario.

By 1908, Ursula had left Pablo and moved to Colfax County with Frank Korte.^[3][4] In 1909, she married him in an act of bigamy that got them both arrested.^[5] Ursula pled guilty and received one year in jail, suspended. They were still listed as married in the 1910 US Census^[4] but there is no sign of their daughter Anna born in 1909. They had a son in 1911 named Arturo.

In 1917, Ursula had what sounds like a nervous breakdown and was committed to the New Mexico State Hospital for the Insane in Las Vegas.^[6] She had either been released or died by 1920 since she isn't listed as an inmate on the 1920 US Census for that year.^[7]
