Eliza Lynch
I had never heard of the name Eliza Lynch before I came to Paraguay but apparently she is quite well know in South America. At one stage she was the owner of the greatest amount of land here in Paraguay. The Irish Independent did an article (registration required) on her a few years ago. Her body was brought back from Paris and buried in the National Cemetery. Went there today. There are 100s of tombs there - the cemetery even has street names to help people find tombs.
