Returning to his bed, he "fell asleep," and his work on earth ended.

He was buried by his friend Palou at his beloved Mission in the Carmelo Valley, and there his dust now rests.[1] [1] In 1787 Padre Palou published, in the City of Mexico, his "Life and Apostolic Labors of the Venerable Padre Junipero Serra." This has never yet been translated, until this year, 1913, the bi-centenary of his birth, when I have had the work done by a competent scholar, revised by the eminent Franciscan historian, Father Zephyrin Englehardt, with annotations.

It is a work of over three hundred pages, and is an important contribution to the historic literature of California..
