"Urrutia was born in Xochimilco, Federal District, Mexico, on June 6, 1872, the son of Pedro Urrutia and Refugio Sandoval, of indigenous descent. He studied in Xochimilco and Mexico City.[1] Urrutia earned a degree in medicine
from the National School of Medicine in 1890 and was considered the
best student of his generation. In 1893 he served as a military doctor
in the territory of Quintana Roo.[2] Later he became a member of the 3rd battalion stationed in Chilpancingo; there he met General Victoriano Huerta,
who many years later, in June 1913, appointed Urrutia to the position
of Minister of the Interior. After a few months, he resigned from that
post and returned to his profession as a surgeon.[3] As the political situation across Mexico was deteriorating around this time, Urrutia in 1914 moved his family to Veracruz, where he and his family were seized by American troops and taken to Galveston, Texas. From there they moved to San Antonio, where he lived for the remainder of his life, practicing and teaching medicine" (Wikipedia) lol
