[Talk-us-massachusetts] perambulating bounds

[Jim Snyder-Grant]

All the Acton corner stones I've seen have had some years painted on. (I

Shall we include the years?

One of the Bedford/Concord markers <https://goo.gl/photos/QN5jRUJ3bgtgoQEt7>
bears painted survey dates of 55 and 70.

I added this stone

"Open Street Map" with tags historic=boundary_stone, inscription="B C",
