This plaque is self-explanatory but what is curious is the way that two words have been deliberately but very crudely redacted. Close examination suggests they possibly read 'native city' which would make contextual sense. Rochester actually lost its city status in 1998 (apparently due to an oversight) but was certainly considered a city in 1906. In any case, why anyone should object to this wording is a mystery.
