Where this was, today
The 1893 record places this person at High St. in Hingham. Today that is High Street, South Hingham. High Street itself, the road the cemetery sits on at 19 High Street. These neighbours lived within sight of where they would be buried. 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 ↗.
