Description
Photograph of the exhuming and reinterring ceremony of the remains of Friar Junipero Serra at the Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmel, Monterey, July 3, 1882. A priest at center stands over an open tomb, with a workman sitting on its edge. They are surrounded by a large crowd of people in formal dress, a group of marching bandsmen in their uniforms, and a collection of soldiers, also in uniform. The adobe mission wall shows a window above them just left of center. The picture file card reads: "Mr. Machado is sitting at the edge of the vault, and Friar Angelo Casanova is standing with book in his hand.". According to Ms. Joan King, Mr. Machado's great-granddaughter, Christiano Machado was from Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel, Azores. He traveled to Massachussetts, like so many -- as a teenager, working on a whaling ship. He settled in California the second time he came to the USA, with his new wife. Christiano lived on Mission lands and farmed, and was caretaker of the Mission. He was believed to discover the remains of Father Serra, thanks to information from the Indians/Mexicans(?) who lived around there. His children and some of his grand and great-grandchildren were baptized at Mission San Carlos Borromeo".
