Aurelia Tizón

From Freepedia

Aurelia Tizón was the first wife of Argentine president Juan Perón. They were married on January 5, 1929 and she passed away thirteen years later of uterine cancer.She was a young school teacher, also known as Potota. In his later life, Perón seldom mentioned this marriage. Many have speculated he truly loved young Potota and always carried a memory of her.

What we do know about her is that she was a woman of varied talents. She could draw and paint, read English, and reportedly translated a few English military textbooks for him. Even though the details are sketchy, it is apparent the young couple decided to adopt a female daughter. This complete family came to a sudden and sad end when Aurelia Tizón passed away in 1938.
