Craigielands, Kirkpatrick-Juxta, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, 9 July 1804.

According to Ted Sadler's notes, David Sadler's gravestone gives his birthdate as, "July 9, 1804". That agrees with the brass rubbing I have from the stone, made by brother, Mark, several years ago. The microfilmed OPR records give his birthdate as being four days earlier, i.e. July 5, 1804.

Dalhousie, New Brunswick, 7 Jun 1885. Aged 80. obituary
buried Dalhousie, Riverside Cemetery.

According to Ted Sadler's notes, David Sadler's death date was, "June 7, 1885", as recorded from the headstone in the Riverside Cemetery. That year is confirmed by a newspaper account at the time. However, in the brass rubbing I have from the stone, made by brother, Mark, several years ago, the death date appears to be one year later, i.e. "June 7, 1886". It looks like the stonecarver may have mistakenly carved a "6" when it should have been "5", i.e. 1886, rather than 1885, the correct year.
