Son of MANUEL JOSE MEJIA & MARIA MESA
Occupation: Worm (tape) specialist, cook, proprietor of tamale wagon, cafe, lunch room and started the 1st Mexican restaurant in Salt Lake City
Married: Nov 30, 1890, SARAH CAROLINE HARRIS, Mineral Wells, Palo Pinto Co., Texas
Seven children:
1. Manuel Marcelo MEJIA
1891 – 1970
2. Abraham M. MEJIA
1895 – 1900
3. Anthony/Antonio Erasto "Tony" MEJIA
1897 – 1969

6. Mary/Maria Caroline MEJIA

=========
Despite the Hispanic heritage, none of the Mejia's was a devoted Catholic, although they may have attended from time to time. I have never known of a Mejia to be buried in a Catholic cemetery or section of a cemetery. I believe that most of them were agnostic, and Abraham had belonged to an agnostic group in Mexico called Pensadores Libres (Free Thinkers). I don't know if he was involved in Odd Fellows, but they seem to have their own section in cemeteries.
