This historic Spanish mission was established in 1691 by Father Kino at the supposed invitation from the local tribe of Tohono O'odham people.  The existing Franciscan church dates to the late 18th century.  It lies 50 miles south of Tucson, just off I19.  Read more about it at its National Park Service website, http://www.nps.gov/tuma/index.htm, or on Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumac%C3%A1cori_National_Historical_Park

FHAA Vaughan 03  (I don't share this sentiment; I just report it.)
A vault or mausoleum for the Vaughan Family, block G.

A quotation on the rear of the monument is rather controversial, and to my mind repugnant, once you know that the elder V. C. Vaughan was a proponent of eugenics, including forced sterilization.  Dr. Vaughan literally meant the white race, if not the more narrowly interpreted Aryan race.
