101 - E. Barbara Wechsler Weinstein - Mt. Auburn Cemetery - Watertown, MA - Headstones of Centenarians on Waymarking.com

In Watertown, within Mt. Auburn Cemetery, is this flat marker for E. Barbara Wechsler Weinstein, and her husband, Alexander.

Mt. Auburn Cemetery is located off Mt. Auburn Street and straddles the Watertown-Cambridge line. Once you enter, the best way is to get a map at the information desk within Stone Chapel. The grave is near Pond Road, by the intersection of Ilex Path. Parking is allowed on Pond Road. From the road, walk up the slight incline towards a sculpture to the marker a few rows in.

The grave is a plain stone marker flat to the ground, with the following text:
