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?

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.


The great American's bit the hand that TAXED them, idiot.


And taxes then were lower than today.


Wonder if Looney pays taxes on his home made 'shine or his home-grown
Georgia Bud?
