One of a series of caches recognizing figures from Pueblo's early days.
Juana Suaso, the oldest daughter of Jose and Teresita Suazo, was just 14 when she married George Simpson. They lived for a while at Fort Pueblo and later moved to Trinidad. When her husband went to California for a few years, she learned to read and write and earned money by teaching Spanish-speaking students. She became well-known for her charitable work at the church, school and hospital in Trinidad.
