Mission San Carlos Borromeo Del Rio Carmelo



The Grave of Old Gabriel
Baptized by Father Serra in 1780, Old Gabriel claimed he was present in 1770 when Father Serra said the first Mission mass on June 3rd, after landing in Monterey. Although the tombstone records him to be 151 years of age, his age is not factually known.
