Where this was, today

The 1893 record places this person at Main St. in Hingham. Today that is Main Street (Route 228). Main Street, today Route 228, runs from Hingham Harbour south through the Liberty Plain district to South Hingham. The old South Hingham families lived along its southern stretch, the road High Street Cemetery faces.

The street still carries the name; the exact house is not pinned, so read this as the block, not a doorstep.

Born and died in Hingham, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA.

This is what the record holds so far: gathered, sourced, and still growing. There is more of Bela's life to recover, and some of what is shown above is matched, not certain. A correction or a family memory is a gift; submit a source, correction, or memory.
