Mary Goose died in 1690, making this headstone over 320 years old.
At one time it was believed that this was the burial place of Mother Goose. That is not the case. This is actually the headstone for Issac Goose’s first wife…
I was going to write up a summary of how this is not the real Mother Goose’s headstone, but it’s difficult to summarize, so for the full story, go to “The Story of Boston’s Mother Goose”
