Yesterday, Saturday July 25, 2009, marks 150 years since the founding of the colony of Pozuzo. The history of Austrian settlers dedicated and Germans who founded it is reviewed in another post in this blog. The celebrations for this event have started last Friday and will continue throughout next week, also this year is going to make the Seventh Meeting of the German communities in Latin America Pozuzo (http://www.prusiatours.com/ caal.asp). Revised
Pozuzo
Today I found two important issues not covered in this blog. The first is the Will of Manuel Ijurra. Ijurra, Cosme Damián Schutz partner, the German driver of the founding of the colony, did not live to see the formation of the same. Entrepreneur
Cerro de Pasco mining in his will claim to be the son of Manuel Ijurra and Lorenza Sanchez, a Catholic Apostolic and Roman, have a natural child born Ijurra Belizario called Chachapoyas who want to move to New York to receive an education in that city. And also states that contracts with the Peruvian Government dated June 4, 1853 to carry 13,000 settlers to the valley of the Amazon and its companion contract, Cosme Schutz, has received 10,000 pesos to start transferring the first batch of settlers from Europe to Peru, which is his will that the executors of his will lead to good effect the contract and finally declared as heir leaving all his property to his son and his executors Belizario Ijurra Moreto Peter and Guillermo Sterdin. Ijurra dies in New York in 1855. We see clearly how worried despite being seriously ill, that the company had undertaken to Schutz came to fruition.
The second, and while the settlers on Peruvian soil, is the proposal to the Government of Peru on behalf of Pastor Melchor take over the entire colony and put under cultivation of cotton on a farm property, to which the Minister Morales replied that having brought the government of the colony behalf of the State to form a new population Pozuzo and not for work in farms to consumers, is no place your order. Imagine, for having accepted the same would he have founded the colony of Pozuzo?
