MRS. KATE HALEY AMONG REFUGEES
28 Feb 1913 front page Beeville Bee:

Well known Live Oak County Lady had Thrilling Experience. Escaped From City While Battle Raged 
About Her Home On Principle Residence Street.

Mrs., Kate Haley, a well known Live Oak County lady who with her son and three daughters has been a 
resident of Mexico City for eight years past, was among the refugees to arrive in Galveston from Vera Cruz 
Monday. She is the widow of the late John Haley, a well-known rancher on the Nueces Valley and has many 
friends and relatives in this section who will be rejoiced to learn of her safe return.

To a newspaper reporter, Mrs. Haley, in accounting her experiences, said, "We have had enough of Mexico 
and are not going back any more. We left the city of Mexico Wednesday. Our home was on the Calle de Rome. 
When the shooting started on Monday, we left our home and went to the embassy for protection. We remained 
here until we left for Vera Cruz to take passage on the Noruega. The water was cut off, light wires were cut and 
the city was in darkness during the greatest part of the fighting. It was horrible. Our food supply was exhausted 
and to get fresh supplies we had to walk two miles and back, much of the way exposed to the fire of the machine 
guns. When we left our home on Calle de Rome we had a large supply of provisions stored, but also had to have 
our clothing. We barely got away with our lives. Many other families did not fair as well as we. Before we left the 
City of Mexico we returned to our home on Calle de Rome which is one of the most prominent American residence 
streets in the city. Along this street were heaps of dead Mexicans, many women and children among them. 
These bodies were being piled together in heaps and burned with crude oil being poured over them."
