During the Mexican Revolution of 1912, General Salazar demanded the disarmament of all Mormon colonists. Rather than remain in Mexico defenseless, Stake President Junius Romney decided to evacuate the colonists back to the United States. Women and children were evacuated first. The men that stayed behind packed provisions, cached valuables, turned over most of their guns, and followed about a week later. Colonia Chuichupa was supposed to begin the exodus and meet with men from the northern colonies along their way. However, Colonia Pacheco and Colonia Garcia got tired of waiting for the men from Chuichupa and left without them. An excerpt from 'The Story of Chuichupa,' written by Bishop George Sevey, describing his ward's exodus to the United States is included.
