Hello, I have learned that the plaque never made it to the Mount Height Cemetery, His family kept it on their land - it is not in a cemetery.
I have asked if I can come to their home and take a picture of the plaque. I will let you know when I get the picture.

****** I have seen other people ask for this person's burial. He is not in Mount Height - his family was all in the village of Northeast Harbor in the Town On Mount Desert. There is a monument for him on the green near the docks in Northeast Harbor.The location on the paper is an error.
