Biography

Barthélemy Caillol was born in Toulon, Provence, France.[3] After completing his elementary studies in his native country, he traveled to Germany where he graduated as an industrial engineer. For the year 1835, Cayol was established in Buenos Aires,[4] where he opened a factory of iron kitchens.[5] In 1875, he participated in the founding of the Industrial Club formed by industrialists and artisans.[6]

Francisco Cayol was married to Margarita Kerkis, daughter of Tomás Kerkis, born in England, and Zenobia San Vicente, belonging to a Creole family, originally from the Province of Buenos Aires. His son, Carlos Cayol Kerkis was a pioneer of telephony in Argentina. In 1878, together with Fernando Newman, he made the first telephone tests of the country, conducting successful tests from the office of the State Telegraph and the newspaper La Prensa.[7]
