A few personal details about the former New England owner can be gleaned from the newspapers.
During the month of September, 1916, he and his "very beautiful" daughter Eulalia spent close to three weeks in Arteixo's thermal spa (ECG. September 7 and 26, 1916, page 1).
His name appears in a list of forty-four men having a firearm license (Boletín oficial de la provincia de La Coruña, 125. June 4, 1919, page 507).
On July 24, 1920, Eulalia married a young businessman the son of a Ferrolian hotel owner (El Ideal Gallego. July 24, 1920, page 4).
Tenreiro built a chapel in honour of the Virgen del Pilar icon (ECG. July 3, 1924, page 2).
A street was named after him (ECG. April 21, 1929, page 2).
He died on January 7, 1931.
Our esteemed Ferrolian neighbour Mr. Justo Tenreiro González has delivered his soul unto the Almighty, a person rightly appreciated in our city for his extraordinary gifts of frankness and affability.That's why his passing has been felt keenly.
(Galicia, diario de la mañana. January 9, 1931, page 3)
He was sixty-three years old (El Pueblo Gallego. January 9, 1931, page 8).
I am impressed by how many shipments of underwear the Ferrolian British colony sent to their soldiers stationed in France. The expats themselves made the clothes.
A short selection of other news between 1915-1918 follows.
The British colony organized a festival at the British School to collect wartime relief funds. The newspaper praised their abnegation and "lofty example of patriotism" (ECG. March 12, 1915, page 1).
The musical program consisted of the following numbers:
The collection was made during the intermission.
The British colony expressed its gratitude to Airiños d'a miña terra for its gallant contribution to the benefit.
Presently the British colony of Ferrol is composed of a hundred and forty-seven people, thirty-seven women, seventy-two men and thirty-eight children (La Idea Moderna. Lugo: Wednesday May 20, 1916, page 2).
At 3:30 PM last Monday Albert H. Brand the eighteen-year-old British stoker of the steamship "Alnwick Castle" was interred in the dissidents sector of the municipal cemetery. As our readers know, the "Castle" was torpedoed by a German submarine (ECG. Wednesday April 25, 1917, page 1).
The British colony of Ferrol has donated 3,000 Pesetas to Town Hall to be spent on several charities (La Idea Moderna. Lugo: Monday November 18, 1918, page 1).
The British colony of Ferrol celebrated the triumph of the Allied nations. The gathering in the Swiss Hotel was full of enthusiasm and joy. Mr. Spiers the prestigious head of the colony delivered an eloquent speech. A banquet was served. Afterward there was a lively ball at the British School. The entire British colony attended. The locale was decorated and lit brightly. The music at both venues was provided by the notable sextet conducted by Brañas (ECG. Thursday November 21, 1918, page 1).
