Inscription

"Minnie L. Patterson, 1862 - 1919"
"Mother"
Shares plot w/Arthur Hennigan; Robert D. Hennigan

New 4" wide concrete coping surrounds the burial plot of Robert D. and Samuel Arthur Hennigan and Mildred Lucy Patterson. The 10 x 14 foot oblong plot coping replaces the vandalized and broken area which had supported a black wrought-iron fence. The Robert Hennigan family of Chico contracted and paid for the replacement coping for their great-grandparents and great-uncle.
