U.S. Congressman. He was one of 14 children of Juan Jose Hernandez and Manuela De Los Reyes Hernandes Cardenas. He engaged in general merchandising and stock raising in New Mexico (1880 to 1889) and was ex officio recorder of deeds for Rio Arriba County (1900 to 1904). He was Sheriff of Rio Arriba County (1904 to 1906), county treasurer and ex officio collector of taxes (1908 to 1912), and receiver of the land office at Sante Fe, New Mexico (1912 to 1913).
