101 - Margaret M. Darcy - Boston, MA - Headstones of Centenarians on Waymarking.com

In Boston, within St. Joseph Cemetery (new section) is a grave stone for the Darcy family, one of which is Margaret M. Darcy, who lived from 1899 to 2000.

The entrance to this part of the cemetery is on the east side of Baker Street, just south of the municipal boundary between Boston and Newton. The grave is near the entrance, to the right as you enter through the gate.

The grave is stone and rectangular, with a slight peak at the top. The family name, "Darcy," is located at the top. The third name down is "Margaret M." On the other side, the second set of dates from the top (because the top set of dates is with the name on the front side), are "1899 - 2000."
