Father Eusebio Francisco Kino
A little before midnight on the 15th of March [1711], in receipt of the holy sacraments and with great tranquility and edification, Father Eusebio Francisco Quino died in this house and village of Santa Magdalena. At the age of seventy he had been a missionary nearly twenty-four years at Our Lady of Sorrows, founded by himself. He worked tirelessly in continuous pilgrimages and reductions of all this Pimería. He discovered the Casa Grande, the Gila and Colorado Rivers, islands, the Cocomaricopa and Suma Nations and the Guizamaopa of the Island. Resting in the Lord he is buried in a coffin on the gospel side of this Chapel of San Francisco Xavier between the second and third steps. He was German by birth from the province of Bavaria, having been a missionary and cosmographer in California at the time of Admiral Don Isidro de Otondo, before having entered the Pimería.
