Marion’s lost stone tablet comes home
WAREHAM – It’s hard not to imagine that Marion would be pleased.
Marion Pierce Carter died September 9, 1946 at 81 and is buried next to her husband, Miles, in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Attleboro.
She was an avid genealogist and founder of the Attleboro Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1901. It’s one of the nation’s oldest chapters. The DAR was founded in 1890.
One of the first official acts of the brand-new chapter was to buy the historic “Peck House” in Attleboro, built in 1723.
The chapter voted in January, 1902, to repair and establish the Peck House as its permanent home.
History set in stone in Wareham
Wicked Local
WAREHAM - Jenny Gropman moved into her two-family home built in the 1860s in the residential High Street neighborhood last June.
She said they had been doing work on the home’s interior to make it their own and had recently moved on to sprucing up her new yard.
She’s a yard person, she said, so she went to work with a will clearing the rear of the property, which had become overgrown and covered with leaves and sticks.
She was raking and clearing a section toward the end of the property line when she saw something “white.” It was a stone of some sort.
