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. 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 and died in Hingham, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA.
A photograph of the marker survives; see it on Find a Grave ↗.
