During a visit to see Tia Almerinda Couto in Vila do Porto, Santa Maria Azores on June 13, 2016, I was able to find out more about her grandmother. Tia Almerinda remembers that her grandmother was very "stern, serious and imposing. She did not want her children to marry so that they would always take care of her. Everything was always about her, in a selfish way. Her husband had to take care of her and was expected to do everything for her, including shopping. She loved bananas, and would always demand that when he went shopping at the store, something she never did, he would come home with bananas. If he forgot, he would say that if she wanted bananas so badly, she could get them herself...which of course she would never do. When she would nag him, he would start whistling, put his hands behind his back, and walk away from her." Carl LaPietra June 26, 2016

Tia Almerinda says that her grandmother was 79 years old when she passed away. It is possible that the birth document we have is incorrect so we need to do more research. Carl LaPietra 1/8/17
