\"Recoleta<\/p>\n

Born in Salta in 1850, Virgilio Mariano Ted\u00edn Tejada<\/strong> joined the local elite by marrying Flor de Mar\u00eda Uriburu Arenales—sister of future President Jos\u00e9 Evaristo de Uriburu… who in turn was uncle to Argentina’s first military dictator, Jos\u00e9 F\u00e9lix Uriburu<\/a>. It’s all in the family.<\/p>\n

Seemingly at odds with future cousins, Ted\u00edn earned respect as a fair national judge during the complicated 1890’s. After the failed revolution<\/a>, he did his best to ensure fair treatment of Leandro N. Alem & other activists. Ted\u00edn died at the age of 42, & this tomb was paid for by public donations… remarkable for a federal judge:<\/p>\n

\"Recoleta<\/p>\n

Sculpted in 1899 by Miguel Sansebastiano—also the author of Toribio de Ayerza<\/a>‘s tomb—a seated female figure representing Justice (find the fallen scales) crowns an angel. Today, the wrought-iron crown (perhaps of laurel?) is missing along with her thumb, but a fuzzy version can be seen in the 1900 photo<\/a> by Harry Grant Olds. The angel’s book contains three unreadable words, worn over time… looks like “??? y senteacea<\/em>” but that’s merely a guess. Left & right inscriptions read respectively:<\/p>\n

Mantuvo inc\u00f3lume la potestad de la ley en que reposa el verdadero bienestar de la patria \/ Dio a cada uno lo suyo, vivi\u00f3 honestamente y a nadie da\u00f1\u00f3.<\/em><\/p>\n

He upheld authority of the law in which lies the true wellbeing of the nation \/ He gave himself to each individual, lived honestly & harmed no one.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
