Even up to the 1920s, Chamorros were writing some things in Spanish, including cemetery headstones. This one is in Saipan.
Aquí yacen los restos mortales de Rodrigo de Castro que falleció 18 de enero de 1913 a los 62 años de edad. Su desconsolada esposa y familia dedican este recuerdo como prueba del acendrado cariño y amor que le profesan. RIP
