Last daughter of Mexican revolutionary Zapata dies
Source: El Paso Times

The last surviving child of Mexican revolutionary hero Emiliano Zapata has died at 94.

A local government spokesman says Ana Maria Zapata Portillo died in Cuautla, the town in the central state of Morelos where she lived most of her life.

Spokesman Ivan Meneses says Zapata was buried in Cuautla on Monday, a day after she died of kidney failure.

He says she was one of three children recognized by Emiliano Zapata, who led his peasant army in a fight for land rights before he was killed in an ambush on April 10, 1919.

People who believe passionately about a cause will give it their all.

9. One of his grandsons was a major in the U.S. Army in the mid-1960s.
I don't have a link. I just happen to remember a human interest newspaper article in Army Times.

18. She lived knowing her father's life stood for something important.
He was a true hero.
