In Marshfield, within the Winslow Cemetery, is this grave for John J. McDonough, who lived 100 years.
The cemetery is located off Winslow Cemetery Road, which is off Webster Street. Follow the signs at the intersection where the two meet.
Once you are in the cemetery, go down the last road for less than 50 ft to the grave on the right.
The grave is a granite marker with the family name, "McDonough," on the front. Below that are two names. "John J." is the lower one on the right side. The dates listed are "May 20, 1906 - Jan. 2, 2007."
