Erected by Ursula Parlor No. 1, Native Daughters of the Golden West, the Mother Parlor, 1932
A great many of the bronzes in this campaign were placed by parlors of the Native Daughters of the Golden West. The order was organised on this spot on 11 September 1886, and its own tablet, put up by Ursula Parlor No. 1 in 1932, does something almost no gold rush plaque does. It lists the founders by name, thirteen of them, with their married names in brackets after the names they signed with. Lilly O. Reichling is given as founder.
