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

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



Back when the ungrateful rabble bit the hand that fed them (American
Revolution) there were quite a number here who may have gone with the 13
colonies.
The ties were close in those days.
The British had a real strong garrison town/naval port in Halifax that
carried the day.
