As reported by the Scituate Archivist:
Humphrey and Lydia Turner are buried in the Men of Kent Cemetery. Sometime in the 1800s, the Turner Family purchased a memorial stone for Humphrey and his family. The delivery company unloaded it at the wrong cemetery, i.e. the First Parish of Norwell, and installed it there.
When the family learned where it had been installed, they refused to pay for it until it was installed at the correct cemetery. It was never moved and remains there today, even though Humphrey and Lydia are buried elsewhere.
