Place of Service: Burial Place: Translation: (Spanish - river, stream)
Notes: A long-time resident and thirty-eight year old rancher from Arivaca, he was spared from the massacre there during the Pima uprising because he was at Guevavi working a mine. He was part of the head-long rush to Terrenate that followed. He had known Pedro Chihuahua for many years and felt the evidence against him was, at best, circumstantial. Rivera was a witness to Pedro's arrest, torture, and execution.
