In Sharon, within Sharon Memorial Park, is this marker for David Goldberger, who lived 101 years.
The marker is located near the 2nd (west) exit to Dedham Street. It is in a somewhat shaded grassy area. All markers are at the ground level, so you will need to walk slowly reading markers on the way until you get there. According to the map, the marker is located within the Erez Shalom section.
The marker is made of bronze and has his name in large letters, then Hebrew text (maybe his Hebrew name) and the dates: March 23, 1886, and August 30, 1987.
