Talk:List of mayors of Ponce, Puerto Rico

Missing mayor(s)?
So at the end of the 19th century, we have Albert L. Myer who is listed as holding office from 12 Sept. 1899 to an unknown date in 1899; then the next mayor listed is Pedro Juan Rosaly, holding office from 28 Dec. 1900 to 28 Feb. 1901; there seems to be a gap from at least the end of 1899 to Nov. 1900 with no listed mayor. I checked the two online sources I thought would have the information (the Enciclopedia PR; and visitponce.com via the Wayback Machine) but no luck... Does anyone have suggestions as to where else to look or can fill in the missing information? Thanks --FeanorStar7 16:30, 14 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, the history of Ponce mayors doesn't seem to be a perfectly well-aligned one. One oddity I have started to accept is that perhaps the municipality has, on occasions, gone without a mayor for days, weeks and, sometimes --it appears--, even months at a time. Mayoral terms information found at Enc PR and at the municipal government itself, seems to come from Eduardo Neumann Gandia's Verdadera y Autentica Historia de la Ciudad de Ponce. ENG published his book in 1913, only 13 years after the Myer/Rosaly transition, and he appears to have witnessed it (i.e., he appears to have been in Ponce at the time). So I would think ENG's would be the best source.  Here is the link. Hopefully you can see something I haven't yet seen. Mercy11 (talk) 03:25, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
