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.
