     "STOCKTON - A tombstone belonging to a boy who died in 1857 - and whom no historian could recall - was unearthed recently by a retired mechanic and attached, unbeknownst to the city, to a monument built to honor the horseman John Brown. ... No mention of the "Son of Noah & Lucy Ann Burrows ... aged one year" existed, after all, when the marker [for Brown] was erected in 1969. Retired auto mechanic Victor Rosasco was on hand to explain. He rebuilt the monument and affixed the tombstone. Rosasco owns the vacant lot by the monument and unearthed the boy's tombstone during a recent excavation of gas tanks underground. Before it was a gas station and later a car lot, the land was part of the old Stockton Citizen's Cemetery, where Brown was buried. The boy, presumably, was buried there, too ... An 1871 city directory lists an N. Burrows, a farmer near Waterloo Road. He might have been the father of the boy whose grave the headstone marked, said Tod Ruhstaller, director of The Haggin Museum. There is no evidence to suggest anyone would notice him had Rosasco not."²
