This stone is in present-day Brockton, Mass., [First Parish Cemetery a/k/a Main Street Cemetery] which used to be North Bridgewater. The lichens obscure the letters now and this small cemetery sits in the middle of a run-down neighborhood. It is likely these stones won't survive much longer judging by the litter (it's obviously a drinking hangout). Archibald Thomson is my alternative namesake. Another shot of the stone is below the fold.
