Color slide, 35mm, 2" x 2" frame. Unknown date. Photo of marker memorializing the five missionaries on Palm Beach on the Curaray River. Standing besides the grave are three Quichua Indians, Luis Andi, Venancio Tapuy, and Clava, wife of Luis. Slide probably taken by Elisabeth Elliot. Later, because of flooding on the river, the marker was moved to the nearby Waorani settlement of Tonaepade, where it stands next to the grave of Rachel Saint. From BGC Archives, Collection 278, Side S113. <Read text on marker and English translation>
