Her brother, Félix García y Martín (sometimes misprinted as Telix), was a doctor and a regional insurgent leader in Matanzas during the Cuban War of Independence.
García resided in historic Camarioca, in close proximity to the famed Varadero resort town, now incorporated into the nearby region of Cárdenas.
[9] Its unique character, complete with straight and narrow streets and horse-drawn carriages, attracted an influx of European families from Spain, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, such as the Garcías and the Martins.
[13][14] While residing in Cárdenas as an adult, García would meet lawyer and landowner Francisco E. Cazañas, of another prominent Matanzas family who owned many landholdings and agricultural industry interests.
The Buena Vista property, sometimes written as Buenavista, was renown for its immensity and held its own main roads,[29] stream, hills, prize horses, cattle, ox, as well as full staff and yacht for its proximity to Varadero.
[5] The couple resided there and, per the US Consulate records,[16] her husband managed the property's sprawling farmlands and major sugar plantation, often known collectively as "Finca Buena Vista," which were significant agricultural businesses in the Matanzas province.
[2] While the couple also owned other property, the manor house would remain the Cazañas family's main residence until the Cuban Revolution, after which it was nationalized and made into a village (subdivision) of Cardenas.
"[2] Other estates mentioned in addition to Buena Vista included Dos Rosas, Pura y Limpia, Dolores, Rosario, and others, all of which sustained at least some damage during the Cuban War of Independence.
[7][5] As with Buena Vista, all of these estates, plantations, and mills were dismantled[35] or nationalized after the Cuban Revolution and many, including Dos Rosas and Pura y Limpia, were made into small towns and villages.
Her grandson by Pedro Pablo, Eduardo Cazañas y Díaz, voluntarily enlisted in the United States Army with the rank of SP-4 as an Armor Reconnaissance Specialist.
[41] He received the Purple Heart for his actions in battle, was interred in Lauderdale Memorial Park, and is included in the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C.[42] Her great-grandchildren would include further noted figures such as the author and spiritual leader Christian de la Huerta and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (DASD) and United States-Spain Council President, Pedro Pablo Permuy.
