Leopoldo Ochoa Rodriguez was born in 1874. He was owner of the “La Guadalupe” mill (ingenio) on the edge of Tecalitlán. He began by making unrefined cane sugar (piloncillo) but, as a good visionary, he enlarged the sugar mill (trapiche) and began to make sugar in lumps (marqueta) and alcohol.
He was presidente municipal of Tecalitlán in 1901 and 1909 and everything was going well, but because of the revolution had to leave Tecalitlán, emigrating to Michoacán to work in a mill as a driver (tachero) and in charge of making sugar.
