   It took me about half an hour to come up with   
   this reference:   
      
   Forgotten Frontier - The Story of Southeastern New Mexico   
   by Carole Larson, 1993, Univ. of NM Press   
      
   Page 177...The author is writing about the final   
   days of Pat Garrett and his death on the trail.   
      
   "His slender, dark-eyed wife, Apolinaria, who survived   
   her husband and died in 1935, spoke English with some   
   difficulty, as she more often spoke the Spanish language."   
      
   I did not take any more time to try to delve into   
   where she died or how old she was. Garrett originally   
   married her sister, who died shortly thereafter, and then   
   he married Pauline (Apolinaria) in Ft. Sumner, where   
   she was living with her family at that time, somewhere   
   around 1880. At the time of her death she would have   
   been around 75 yrs old, I presume.   
      
   Now the imposter who claims to have spoken with   
   her when he was 9 would have been either 1 or 2   
   years old when she died, if, as the article claims,   
   he is now 70 yrs old.
