... La Casa de las Maestras
Después ya la del arroyo right is the last house on the sales Alcedo. call "the House of Teachers" because until I lived here several years ago. The oldest of the place called "Casa de Don Eustatius" which was its first owner.
Eustasio came from a humble family of weavers Curueño Mata. For a time exercised that trade in which he excelled. Curueño In those villages had more than a clash with Wolves. He spent four years in the war in the Philippines from where he returned with wounds and medals. Many years later, already established in this house, explained their daughters with garden tools in hand, the combat against the insurgents, ambushes in the jungle, strong guards. It was another eight years in the war in Cuba, also came away with several medals when the last troops were repatriated.
was civil guard. He worked in the offices of the Ministries of Madrid, for which he was elected by his handwriting. Robla worked in the office of the Industrial Mining Leon, history of the Basque Hullera Leon. He helped his wife, who was many years Alcedo teacher in the homework. The children sat on the wearing clogs because there were no banks. In winter shoveling snow so he could go to teach. At night gave private lessons in the light of a lamp to the kids who had dropped out of school so they could stand, and never took classes. He had eight children who gave studies. In the thirties was justice of the peace in the Robla, a position which was difficult to deal with rogue traders, landlords who wanted to remove the farms to the poor, and all kinds of demagogues who want to take advantage of its prestige. He traveled to every continent. Experienced wars and shipwrecks. And when he finally settled here in 1915 and was fifty years. Built the house with his own hands and arranged a garden that all his grandchildren remembered as earthly paradise. It worked until the end with one arm and paralyzed. This was the first house on Oak that had toilet.
Most of his fifteen grandchildren through mother is the writer Aldecoa Josefina Rodriguez, who was born in this house, which was quoted in one of his novels. When the war many people on both sides saved their lives thanks to this house in different circumstances. It also describes in his novels the house of his paternal grandparents, who were of Sorrentino. In this house lived his last years Sorrentino the priest who made the new church of the Oak.
In 1939 electricity was brought to the sales from the mill Puente de Alba. One who was engaged to collect scrap metal in the places where they had been the front, put the material, and put the money Don Eustatius. They threw a stone tied to a rope from the other side of the river, then pulled the rope that was tied to a cable, and so crossed the line over the River.
