Notes: "Joseph, the husband of Narcisa, died confessed and anointed with oil on April 13, [1758], and was buried in the cemetery of this village. This Joseph was very old -- more than a hundred years. He was baptized by Padre Kino, being a young man at the time. Before he died he asked to have Holy Water administered to him, which was done. Then he covered his face and died without any illness. In all his life he had not had any sickness and he retained all his senses, speaking with us right up to the last moment. He served in various occupations including temastian, fiscal, alcalde, ganadero, hortelano, and buen atiano."
