    This must be a Boston area gravestone! I've seen evidence of dropped R's on gravestones and records in New England going back to the 1700s.

    Yep, it's in Groton, MA.

    I have found 12 gravestones that have this delightful misspelling of "departed."

    You may also enjoy these r-added stones.
