Born in 1935 Died in 1915 at the ripe old age of -20. That's quite a
trick.


Obviously a typo. First mention of birth was 1832. But do wonder if they
struck the stone that way?

I wonder why Nova Scotia didn't join the union?



Maybe it was because the province had close ties to the British Empire,
and had no reason to "join the Union." You might want to read up on such
events as the Charlottetown Conference.
