2 2 PAGE FOUR SE ‘SAN GABRIEL MISSION WAS FOUNDED. 1771 Responding to a petition fram 1770 quarters sent permission ciscan missions. The new station was to be under the patronage of Si. ra and Captain Pedro Fagas, the military ccmmander, decided to locate it near the Rio de Nombre de Jesus de los Temblors (River of Earthquakes), a name given to the Rio de Santa Ana when the Portola. expedition of 1769 camped upon the banks’ of that stream. This mission, founded on Setember 8, 1771, and. named San Gabriel Archangel was near a site that later became the eity of Los Angeles, and was to be one of five situated about one day’s travel a part north of San Diego. Two padres, Fr. Pedro Benito Cambon and Fr. Angel Somera, were chosen to build the new. mission, later known as.‘‘Pride of the Mis‘sions’; and on August 6, 1771, with a guard of ten soldiers, these two marched out of San Diego. In view of the tragic events, that came to pass at San Gabriel, due to mistreatment of the Indians by ,brutal, Spanish soldiers, it is interesting to-read Father Francisco Palou’s account of the founding of-the mission as given by Fr. Zephyrin Englehardt, historian of California missions. “They traveled toward the north,” Says Father Palou, speaking of the priests and their military escort, ‘‘on the road taken by the expedition of 3769. After marching about forty leagues, they arrived at the Rio de los Temblores. Just as they were deliberating about the choice of a site, a sreat multitude of savages, armed and headed by two chiefs, appeared and with frightful yells attempted to prevent the founding of the mission. “Fearing that a _ battle ‘might ensue and that some might be kilied, one of the Fathers produced a canvas picture of Our Lady of Sorrows and put it in view of the savages. No sooner had he done this than all, overcome by the sight of Father Junipero Serra, Viceroy Carlos Francisco de Croix in the fall of from his Mexican head-: to. establish in California the fourth of the FranGabriel. the Archangel, and Fr.

In 1796 the} er. small chapel was replaced with a larger church which, in turn, in 1800 was superseded by the existing building of stone, mortar and brick. In that year there were 1,078 neophytes at the mission, 1,953 had been baptised, 869 had been buried and 396 couples married. In 1776, Father Serra stopped at: the mission on his way from founding the Missions San Juan Capistrano and records disclose that he bapfrom Sonora ond visit Gabriel, ‘the beautiful image, threw down their bows agd arrows. The two . chiefs quickly ran up-to lay at ins . feet of the Sovereign Queen as tokens of their greatest esteem the beads they wore on the neck. By the same action they manifested their desire to be at peace with us. They called upon all _the neighboring rancherias who in large numbers flocked together, men, women and children, and came to see the Most Holy Virgin. They also brought seeds, which they left at the feet of the Most Holy Lady, imagining that she would eat like the rest.” Father Palou records that ‘‘the tized an Indian child there on. December 11 of that year. Two years later, November 4, 1778, Junipero confirmed at the mission for the first time, New troubles with the natives began in 1779 when Governor Felipe surpassed ali of neophytes. 1873, in de Neve, an enemy 6f the missions, . tion proceeded steadily in spite of that convert every mission should annually elect and two Indians regidores or} councilman and vest them with con. trol of the neophytes. self government, Indians became insolent to both the priests and soldiers July and August, 1781, two contingco. ents of soldiers and settlers arrived and throughout the founding of the pueblo of Los Angeles, there were frequent clashes between the and the Indians on the one hand and the soldiers and settlers on the othUnfitted for} the San Gabriel .

With such an auspicious beginning toward mutual understanding it is a pity that the very soldiers sent to assist the priests, should have been the ones to undo the good work done by the missionaries. Just when the Indians were going in large numbers to Mission San Gabriel, one of the soldiers outraged the wife of one of the chiefs, and in an, ensuing clash between the natives and armed guards, the chief was killed. For a long time the Indians remained away from the Fathers and it was not until the offending soldier was transferred to Monterey that their confidence in the padres was restored. : This incident; Fr. Engelhardt claims, delayed the founding! of Mission San Buenaventura for twelve years, Commandante Fages fearing to send any soldiers from San Gabriel north to assist in establishing another missionary station.
Visiting San Gabriel in September 1772, Father Serra was delight‘ed to find that a number of Indian -ehildren had been baptised, including the small son of the slain chief, but excesses being committed by the ‘soldiers against the natives, caused Junipero personally to complain to the Viceroy of Mexico, with the result that the military commander of alifornia was specifically ordered pO cease all interference with the es and their neophytes. putine of San Gabriel was interd on March 22, 1774, by the ‘al of Captain Juan Bautista of his expedition who, after “Do you know that only GIBSON has the MAGIC Agents—Distributors Wanted AGENTS wanted in all Valley towns for Pure Mineral Drinking Water.
