Dollars at the time) was never repaid due to his untimely death at the turn of the century; neither was the loan he made to transport the palace from the shipyard to its present location.

His son Don Manuel Carrillo Iturriaga (born in 1868 and who would serve as Political Chief of the Canton of Orizaba during the early 1900s), would take up the helm as the head of the family.

Don Manuel Carrillo Iturriaga married Doña María Limón (from San Luis Potosí) and both lived in Orizaba, Veracruz.

His son, Don Manuel Carrillo Iturriaga, brought the remains to his family's hacienda known as "El Molino de la Alianza".
