Dee's notes:
More research needs to be done to prove that Enriqueta Rosa Triste
was the daughter of Francisco Triste and Polita Polonia (Losoya) Lozoya.
IF it can be proven that Mrs. Triste was the mother of Enriqueta Triste, than
the following oral family history verified in newspaper articles recorded:
After Mr. Triste's death, Mrs. Polonia (Lozoya) Triste remarried and became Mrs.
Pauline LaScala. After Mr. LaScala's death, when she was twice widowed, in the
1940s to early 1950s, Mrs. Triste-LaScala lived with a daughter in Mesa, Arizona.
One son, (possibly Manuel Triste) left El Paso, Texas and moved to California.
In 1955 when she was age eighty, Mrs. Pauline Triste LaScala visited her
other daughter, Mrs. Enriqueta Rosa Triste Calabrese, when Rosa's husband,
Joseph Calabrese, traveled 3,500 miles to bring his mother-in-law for a visit
from her home in Mesa, Arizona to the Calabrese home in Baltimore Maryland.
(Pauline Triste LaScala might have died after the mid 1950s at the home of her
other daughter who left El Paso, Texas to live in Mesa, Maricopa Co., Arizona.)

(Dee's note: My great-grandmother, Enriqueta Rosa Tristé Calabrese, was NOT born in Texas. She was born in Agua Nueva, Mexico.
She made a point of saying that she was born in "Old Mexico".
Her mother was born in Mexico, not in Spain, but she was of Spanish descent.
The census, although incorrect, may give a clue that it was her mother's
side of the family who were from Spain before coming to Mexico.)

By June 5, 1900 they were living in the City of El Paso in El Paso County, Texas in the United States. From 1899 to at least January 12, 1920, the Triste family lived in the City of El Paso less than one mile from the U.S. - Mexican border.
The 1900 census dated June 5, 1900 recorded Francisco Triste at age 36, date of birth June 1863. He was working as a railroad hand and most likely worked on the Southern Pacific railroad. He was living on Hildalgo street in the City of El Paso, Texas with his wife Polita and three of their children, all born in Mexico. Their names were Carmen and Manuel Triste, and another daughter who as born June 1894. Francisco Triste and his wife Polita had at least two more children while living in El Paso; Miguel Triste and Raymundo Triste who were born in El Paso, Texas.
April 26, 1915, Giuseppe Calabrese and Miss Enriqueta Triste were married by Roberto M. Libertini S.J., Assistant Pastor of Sacred Heart Church in the city of El Paso, El Paso County, Texas. (more research needs to be done to prove Enriqueta Rose Triste was the daughter of Francisco Triste and Polita Polonia Losoya.)
June 5, 1917, Giuseppe Calabrese was living with his wife and one child at 709 Hill Street, El Paso, Texas, when Giuseppe registered for the draft in the Great War (WWI). The Calabrese family lived just blocks away from the Triste family.
September 1918, Fransisco Triste and his family were living at 820 S. Florence Street in the City of El Paso, El Paso County, Texas when their oldest son Manuel, who was age 18 at the time, registered for the draft in the Great War (WWI).
The 1920 census dated January 12, 1920 recorded Francisco Triste at age 62. His family was still living at 820 S Florence Street in the City of El Paso, El Paso County, Texas. Francisco was working as a janitor in an apartment building. His wife's name was recorded as Nepolita Triste. They were living with their three youngest children; Manuel, Miguel and Raymundo Triste Living close by in the same block at 806 1/2 S Florence Street were Jose and Rosa Calabrese with their three youngest children, Carlos (Charles) , Jose (Joseph) , and John Calabrese. In 1922 Guiseppe Joseph Calabrese and his wife, Enriqueta Rose Triste Calabrese left El Paso Texas and moved to Baltimore, Maryland. The 1930 census dated April 8, 1930 recorded Miguel Triste, age 25 (son of Francisco Triste and Polita Losoya Triste.) He was married and living with his family at 603 S Florence Street. Manuel married in about 1923 to Mrs. Carmen Weil. In 1930 they were living with Carmen's children; Edwardo and Junquin Weil in the City of El Paso, El Paso County, Texas. The 1930 census dated April 18, 1930 recorded Joe Calabrese and Rosie Triste Calabrese living with their children on Asquith Street in Baltimore City, Maryland. In the 1950s in Baltimore, Maryland Enriqueta Rose Triste Calabrese received news from her family that her father had died years earlier and her mother remarried and became Mrs. Pauline LaScala. Rosa's family left El Paso, Texas and her mother Pauline was currently living with a daughter in Arizona.

He was born between December 12, 1889 - April 17, 1891 in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, of Italian descent he died September 14, 1981 in Baltimore, City Maryland U.S.A. When she was a young girl, Enriqueta Triste, also known as Rosa, lived with her family in El Paso, Texas. When she was in her teens, she would notice Giuseppe Calabrese, who was a barber in El Paso by about 1910. Rosie would peek into the barbershop to watch the young Italian man cutting hair. Giuseppe Calabrese, who also went by Jose, Joe and Joseph, noticed the attention from young Rosie and one day he ran out of his shop, wagged his finger at her, and said, "One day imma gonna marry you!" Joe and Rose Triste Calabrese would tell this story to their children years later. On January 25, 1910, a marriage license was first issued to Giuseppe Calabrese and Miss Enriqueta Triste bt the County Clerk in El Paso County, Texas. In March 1913 Joe and Rose Triste Calabrese were living in California where their first son Charles Calabrese was born. Giuseppe Calabrese and Miss Enriqueta Triste were married on April 26, 1915 by Roberto M. Libertini S.J., Assistant Pastor of Sacred Heart Church in the city of El Paso, El Paso County, Texas. (Roberto M. Libertini was born about 1885 in Italy. He immigrated to America about 1911 and from 1915 through 1930 he was an Assistant Pastor and Catholic Priest in El Paso, Texas.)
From April 1915 through January 1922 they were living in the City of El Paso, Texas where sons Joseph, John and Frank were born.
In 1922, Joe and Rosie Triste Calabrese moved from El Paso, Texas to Baltimore, Maryland where their youngest children, Sadie, Saro and Manuel were born. When Mr. Triste, Rose's father died, her mother remarried and became Mrs. Pauline LaScala, Mrs. LaScala went to live with another daughter in Mesa, Arizona. At some point Mr. LaScala died, and later in the mid 1950's, Mrs. Pauline LaScala visited and lived for a while in Baltimore, Maryland at the home of her daughter Rosa Triste Calabrese, her step-son Joseph Calabrese, and youngest grandson Manuel Calabrese.
