Father Casanova produced the book in which
was written the description of the last resting
places of the different persons buried within
| the walls of the Mission, after which the
graves were opened, and the remains of the
following were identified: Rev. John Cres-
pin, buried June l, 1882; Rev. Ju-
nipero Sierra, buried August Is. 1874 |;
Rev. Julian Lopez and Rev. Fermin Fran
cisco Lazun, buried June 26tb 1903. The
remains of the four different priests and
founders OF the Missions of the State were
found inferred in three different vaults.
Those of Rev. Junipero Sierra and Julian
Lopez were buried in one vault. The stubs
covering the vaults had at some time been
removed, and the consequence was that dirt
had fallen in the vaults and broken the lids
of the coffus there. completely covering the
remains Upon digging out the dirt, the
coffins were found to have been made of red.
wood, and they were in a remarkably good
state Of preservation, not having decayed in
the least. The skeletons of all of them, ex-
cepting that of Junipero Sierra, were exposed
to view. and were found in fair state, the
skulls being complete, having been encased
in lime. Pieces of their silk shrouds were
handed up and distributed among the specta.
tors, some of which was in good state of
preservation. One piece in particular,
which had been used to tie the
feet of Rev. Julian Lopez, was almost intact.
The knot which had been tied still remained
as ever. The coffin which contained the re-
mains of Rev. Julian Lopez was found to be
lying on its side on top Of Junipero Serra's
remains, and the Mission having been with
out keeper once for period Of eleven years,
leads to the belief that during that interval
some one must have broken into the vaults
and opened the collins for the purpose of
robbing the remains. it being always the sup
position that considerable jewelry, etc, had
been buried with them. The body OF Juni-
pero Sierra was not exposed to view, owing to
the fact as stated before, that the re-
mains of Rev. Julian Lopez were resting on
top, and when an attempt was made to lit
the coffin up it was found that the bottom
had given away, and the coffin couldnot be re-
moved without scattering the remains, &c
which Rev. Casanova would not consent, and
that part of the programme had to be aban-
doned. Among the many who were there were
Judge Hoffman, John Phelan, F. Gilmore,
of San Francisco National Bank, A. L.
Tubbs, Of Oakland, and many others.
