Early life and education

[edit]

Reyes was born in Baños, Tungurahua Province on June 13, 1896, the only child of María Petronila Reyes Noboa.[1][2][3] His father was an arriero (muleteer).[3] His grandparents, Francisco Reyes Hidalgo and Regina Noboa, owned a farm called La Escudilla.[1][3] I[1] After the death of his mother in 1909 due to cancer,[3] he was placed in the care of his aunt and uncle, Rosita Romo de Reyes and Juan Reyes Noboa.[1]

Eventually he received education in grammar and mathematics, paid for by Dominican parish priest Fray Juan Halflants, who had admired the literary knowledge of Reyes at the age of 15.[3] After two years of instruction and study, and under the watch of Halflants, the young 16 year old Reyes started his work as a teacher of children in the city of Baños, who still remember him for his introversion and kindness.[3]

In 1914, with a scholarship from the State,[3] Reyes enrolled at the Juan Montalvo Normal.[2] He graduated in 1916 with the highest honors.[1][3]

Death

[edit]

Reyes died in the city of Quito in the early morning of December 1, 1966,[1][2][3] at a Military Hospital.[3] His remains were moved to Baños, his birthplace, on June 13, 1985.
