RESPONSIBLE - Not only those who attend the historical ceremonies on Sun., Sept. 4 of the marking of the 
site of the Bishop Creek Battleground, an important engagement of the Owens Valley Indian War, but for 
countless number the marker will be viewed, photographed and remembered.  All of this is assured because 
Louis Serventi erected the monument, which is the background for the bronze plaque that tells the story 
of the event - and beside colorful stones that make its beauty is the cement and steel reinforcement 
that provides a deep and sturdy base.  The labor, the stones and the beauty are contributed by a Bishop 
"Oldtimer."  This isn't the only contribution Louie and his brother Joe have made in stones.  For many 
years past their labor has saved the recognition of pioneer graves where crosses and wooden headstones 
have been demolished by the elements.  There are many of such marked in Mammoth, Cerro Gordo, Belleville, 
Marietta, Fish Slough and others of camps and towns now a legend in activities of our past and Louie and 
his brother are men who saw fit to mark the grave of a prostitute whose grave was placed apart in the 
cemetery of Bodie.  May history mark the contribution of these men.
