In Memoriam
Patrick and Margaret Breen
These pioneers left county Carlow, Ireland, in 1828. By 1845 they were owners of a farm in Iowa Territory.

Heading westward again, they joined the Donnor (sic) Party, whose heroic struggles to survive the winter of 1846 in the snows of the Sierra Nevada is widely known.

In February 1848 the indomitable Breen family became the first English-speaking settlers in this valley. Patrick Breen died at San Juan Bautista in 1866, Margaret in 1874. They are buried on the hill above this marker.
