He was educated at the Instituto de Cardenal Cisneros and received «el Título de Bachiller» on 18 Dec 1893 in Madrid, Spain.147 He immigrated on 18 Apr 1905 to Havana, Cuba.77,148 He sailed on the Manuel Calvo, which departed Barcelona on 26 March. He arrived at Ellis Island, New York, on 11 April, and got to Havana on 18 April. He lived at Consulado 104-106 in Havana, Cuba in 1908.149 This is where his son Francisco LAGOS GRACIANI was born in October 1908. He lived at San Nicolás, 1 in Havana, Cuba in Dec 1909.150 This is where he was living when his son Paquito died on 12 Dec. 1909. He lived at San Nicolás, 1 in Havana, Cuba in 1912.63 He visited on 12 Nov 1914 in New York, NY, USA.151 Arrived from Barcelona with his wife and her youngest daughter Isabel to visit his brother and his family, living at 344 E. 85th Street.

He was a «contador» (accountant) at the Compañía Eléctrica Santiago in Santiago, Cuba in 1918.152 We know he was at this position in 1918 because of a 21 September newsclipping brought back by Gregorio LAGOS ESCALONA, who visited Cuba at that time. This occupation appears to have lasted several years.

He visited on 4 Oct 1922 in Paterson, Passaic, NJ, USA. He was living in 1924 in Paterson, Passaic, NJ, USA.153 This, according to the ship manifest of his and Victorina's trip from Havana on 7 April 1924. He lived in 1927/28 in Paterson, Passaic, NJ, USA. Manuel and Victorina lived first at Oak Street, then Madison Street. (This was while the Lagos family was living at 922 22nd Street.) He shot himself in an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide about Aug 1934 in Havana, Cuba.51 His brother Antonio, who visited him shortly afterwards, noted that the cause of this misfortune "looked like Betty Boop." He lived with his brother Antonio and family for a time between 1936 and 1939 in Paterson, Passaic, NJ, USA.51 The exact time period is not clear, but the total time was probably about a year or so. This was when the family was living at 129 Lenox Avenue.

He was a «juez de carrera caballo en el Hipódromo de Marianao» in Havana, Cuba about 1950.154 He was a judge at the Marianao race track in Havana. 1950 is an estimate of one of the many years that he was employed there. He lived in the Hotel New York for several years between 1950 and 1960 in Havana, Cuba.154 He was living here when he died. He died on 26 Jul 1960 in Havana, Cuba.155 He was buried on 27 Jul 1960 in Havana, Cuba.156 Buried in Colón Cemetery. He was exhumed and placed in an ossuary on 17 Jan 1964 in Havana, Cuba157,158 A description of this curious Cuban tradition may be found in "Your Man in Havana", written by Emil SIGNES in 1999.

José LAGOS TOLEDO **159 was born on 28 Sep 1882 in Periana, Málaga, Spain.159,160 Full name: José de la Santísima Trinidad. Nació en la casa de sus padres en la Calle del Horno. He died before 30 Sep 1886.48,161 No one in our family knew that there ever was a José LAGOS TOLEDO until I discovered his birth certificate in the Periana Civil Register in Nov 1999. Writing in Periana on 30 Sept 1886, Manuel MÚÑOZ FRIAS, an uncle of Francisco LAGOS MUÑOZ as well as a parish priest, wrote "Certifico que D. Francisco Lagos Muñoz de su legítima matrimonio con Dª Maria Toledo Ruiz, tiene cuatro hijos [Dolores, Manuel, Antonio, Francisco] . . . " which leads me to believe that José must have died by then. In addition, not having found a death certificate in Periana leads me to believe he probably died in Madrid, to which the family moved around 1885. -- Emil SIGNES.
