This fountain is reverently dedicated as a tribute to our pioneer founders, the departed advisers and members of this committee to our devoted Native Daughters, their families and friends throughout the State of California, for valued support in the preservation and restoration of Historic Landmark No. 233, Mission Nuestra Senora Dolorosisima de la Soledad and in respect and loving memory to Abel, Nicola and Flora Bianchi and the pioneers of the Soledad community.

Let no duty seem too hard,
In all things bravely do you best,
And then to god well, leave the rest”
