Olegario Molina

Olegario Molina Solís (6 March 1843 – 28 April 1925) was a Mexican lawyer, businessman and politician who served as the governor of Yucatán from 1902 to 1907 and the secretary of development, colonization and industry in the government of Porfirio Díaz from 1907 to 1911.

[3] He was the most conspicuous character of the so-called Divine Caste, a term used by General Salvador Alvarado to designate the Yucatecan oligarchy of the early twentieth century or, more precisely, the group of hacendados henequeneros, or porfiriato henequenero, who controlled the state economy of Yucatán at that time.

[7] In the first week of his governorship, Molina gave up his salary, instead directing it to fund the construction of Yucatán's general hospital.

[7] Molina's administration also saw increased sanitary reform in Mérida, which had previously been struck by epidemic diseases.

[9] His remains were later transferred, after a tribute in the Teatro Peón Contreras [es] to the chapel of the Sodzil hacienda, which was previously his property.
