Where this was, today
The 1893 record places this person at So. Pleasant St. in Hingham. Today that is South Pleasant Street, South Hingham. Still South Pleasant Street today, in South Hingham near Fulling Mill Lane, a short way west of the cemetery. It is a short walk from the cemetery.
The street still carries the name; the exact house is not pinned, so read this as the block, not a doorstep.
Born in Scituate, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA.
A photograph of the marker survives; see it on Find a Grave ↗.
