Stoddard Family zinc monument - Moshassuck Cemetery - Central Falls, Rhode Island - Zinc Headstones on Waymarking.com

This six-foot-tall zinc grave marker for Archie Stoddard, his wife Sarah, and his other wife Sarah is one of several white bronze headstones at the Moshassuck Cemetery in Central Falls, Rhode Island. It can be found just north of the midsection of the property in Section C, between North and Central Avenues about two-thirds of the way west towards Pine Avenue. Immediately to the north is a granite headstone for John, Eliza, and Vincent Holt. Other than a slight lean to the north, the piece is in good condition.

The west (front) face displays the Stoddard family name along the bottom of the pillar in a slightly outward sloping section just above the base. Custom panels on each side are rectangular with half round tops. This one reads:

Three chain links below his name and dates suggest Archie was a member of The Odd Fellows.
