I see that the first one is from 1811 - I was wondering why it looked a little worse for wear, but that would do it!

Yes, actually these stones have a bit of a history as well. Mount Hope Cemetery wasn't established until the 1850's. These were originally in the Old Kirk Yard, in Attleboro, MA. (It was stilled spelled Attleborough then; North Attleborough has kept the old spelling, Attleboro didn't.) In 1871, the main railroad from Providence to Boston was layed right through the center of Attleboro, cutting through the Old Kirk Yard, and forcing the removal and relocation of a number of graves to other local cemeteries, including these.

They actually made out quite well by the move, as the Old Kirk Yard is quite run down and subject to vandalism. Mount Hope, on the other hand, is well maintained, well landscaped and reasonably well secured.
