They had seven children: Ana in 1886 (my grandmother); Luisa in 1888 (who probably died soon after); Guillermo (William) in 1893; Alberto in 1897; Magdalena Luisa in 1901 (my aunt Duba, revered by my Mother and her brothers Emiliano and Pancho); Carmen in 1992, and Isabel (My aunt Chabela) in 1993.

My great grandfather supported President Madero and Vice-president Pino Su�rez. After wining the presidential elections, Madero's government suffered the constant opposition of Congress and the Porfiristas who were planning a coup d'�tat, which started on 9 February 1913. The rebellion was headed by generals Bernardo Reyes, Manuel Mondrag�n, Felix Diaz and Victoriano Huerta. These events were known as the "Tragic Ten". Madero and Pino Su�rez were apprehended, and forced to resign. On the night of February 22, as they were being transferred to the Lecumberri prison, they were assassinated by Victoriano Huerta's goons, in what was a doubtful skirmish with unknown assailants. Given his staunch support for Madero and popularity within the army, General Emiliano Poucel was imprisoned in the dungeons of Chapultepec lake until his exoneration and liberation months later. Given the inhuman conditions of the dungeons, his health was never the same, giving up active military duty and dying a couple of years later.
