Federico Sisneros
March 17, 1894
March 13, 1988

Don Federico "Fred" Sisneros (1894-1988) had close ties to these ruins. His ancestors helped to resettle Abo in 1869. Fred's father owned this land and charged his young son with caring for the old mission. Later, Fred served as caretaker when New Mexico preserved the site as Abo State Monument.

When Abo became part of Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument in 1981, Fred became known as the nation's "oldest park ranger." His final wish was to be buried here, beneath this juniper tree, near his beloved Mission San Gregorio de Abo.
