José A. Morales legacy marked in Socorro
The column reflects on the legacy of José A. Morales, marking 48 years since his death on September 22, 1978. Although not originally from Socorro, Morales identified himself as a resident of the town by altering his official identification documents.
Records indicate that Morales used an initial identification number (2.280.741) to establish his connection to Socorro, a detail that was later used by legal entities like Sayco for burial and legal procedures. He was later issued a different identification number (17.023.192) in 1961, which remained active until his passing.
