Nabor Pacheco
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913

Nabor Pacheco has practically spent his entire life in 
Tucson in which city he was born on the 12th of July 
1863, a son of Refugio and Paula (Cruz) Pacheco.  The 
father was born in the town of Ignacio, Sonora, Mexico 
but was brought to Tucson in infancy and was here reared 
and educated.  Tucson was the birthplace of the mother.  
Being endowed with good business ability, Refugio Pacheco 
met with success in his business affairs.  In matters of 
citizenship he was progressive and enterprising, possessing 
the powers of organization and resourcefulness which stamped 
him as a leader in the community.  Although he was only thirty 
six years of age at the time of his death, which occurred in 
1873, he had acquired valuable tracts of land in and around 
Tucson and was numbered among the representative citizens of
 Pima County.  He took a very active interest in political 
affairs.  In his family were seven children, of whom five 
are still living: Nabor, being the eldest, Mateo, Manuel, 
Jesus M., and Refugio.  On both the paternal and maternal 
sides our subject is of pure Spanish ancestry his lineage 
being traced back to Spain.

Nabor Pacheco attended school in Tucson and upon the 
completion of his education began farming and cattle 
raising on land left him by his father, owning a tract 
of about one hundred and sixty acres near the city.  
For about thirteen years he held official positions and 
for two and one half years had charge of one hundred men 
employed at Tucson Farms near the city.  He is today one 
of the substantial citizens of Tucson and has valuable 
realty interests.

It was in this city that Mr. Pacheco was married to Miss 
Carmen Monteverde and to them have been born the following 
children: Nabor Jr., Henry, Powleta, Richard, Ameda, Viola 
and Raquel.
