Notes: In the year of the Lord 1801 on the fifth of June, José María Paxarito, who was twenty years of age and the son of Ramón Paxarito and María Plancha Platas, died at the hands of the Apaches. His body could not be brought in until the sixth because there were so many Apaches that the people could not go to retreive it until the soldiers came. He was buried on the sixth in the cemetery and for this truth I signed on the said day, month and year as above. Fr. Narciso Gutierrez, Mtro for S.M.
