Antonio Arias Suñé (c. 1847 - 4 July 1913) was the mayor of Ponce, Puerto Rico from 1903 to 1904.

Biography

Arias Suñé was born in Ponce around year 1847. His parents were José María Arias Tellechea, from Venezuela, and Mercedes Suñé. He married Rosalía Ríos Ovalle, which whom he had seven children: Jose Maria, Rodulfo, Angel, Teodoro, Rosa Maria, Rafael, and Carlos Juan. Arias Suñé died on 4 July 1913.[1]

Mayoral term

Due to a new law that had been passed in the Puerto Rico Legislature the previous year (1902), which annexed the municipality of Guayanilla to the municipality of Ponce, mayor Arias Suñé was, in effect, the mayor of Guayanilla as well, during his one-year term as mayor of Ponce. Once no longer a mayor of Ponce, Arias returned to Guayanilla to oversee that municipality in the unofficial post as Guayanilla's mayor. The law was repealed in 1905, after which Guayanilla elected its own mayor again.[2] Arias Suñé resigned his post on 23 June 1904.[3]
