BIOGRAPHY
José María Chávez was born in Mexico on 24 August 1914. As an infant, he lost his mother and was raised by his aunt. He devoted much of his life to agriculture. Although his first marriage was unsuccessful, he later remarried and had children. At one point, he traveled to the United States for work, where he worked on a fishing and cargo boat transporting pineapples. His boss, a Russian, even wanted to take him to Russia to continue working together, but the journey couldn’t be made as the boat wasn’t able to sail that far. He eventually received an American pension.
His personality was described as calm and peaceful. When asked about the secret to his longevity, he credited a healthy diet, not smoking, staying out of trouble, and getting good sleep.
