In Sharon, within Sharon Memorial Park, is this marker for Mae Abrams, who lived 100 years.
The marker is located on the Dedham Street side, between the main entrance to the east and the exit road to the west.
The marker is a flat bronze type, typical for this cemetery. The framing design is generally a vegetation pattern. On the face of the plaque are two branches that may be olive trees. Below that is the name, Mae Abrams, then the dates, June 22, 1896 and October 11, 1996.
