It could be that the family could not afford a grave stone at the time. In walking through many cemeteries' I have seen many of graves that are only marked with a small marker indicating that someone is buried there.

And in this instance, I believe he would not have been allowed to be buried in a Catholic cemetery....at least that is what we were told when we were younger - don't know if that practice is still the same today. Maybe I should try non-catholic cemeteries and see if he is buried there? Or is there a MA death index somewhere which encompasses the 1920's?
