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.

Screw the British Empire. But bet they shipped lots of Scotch to the
party. They would have been better off in the union.

British parliamentry politics is innately corrupt form of democracy. A
ruse really. And in this day and age with the internet, the people need
more direct particiation and influence over their governance, either
side of the border. (Not boarder .

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.
