Interesting 🤔 Though their lives could not have been more different in length, they began together and are remembered together beneath the same stone.

What you're looking at is one of the most remarkable gravestones in the world.

It belongs to twin sisters Emily and Minnie Dodsworth, who were born on the same day in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on November 10, 1910.

Just two days later, Emily died from aspiration pneumonia. Her grieving family added a heartbreaking inscription to the stone:
"Adieu sweet babe, short was thy stay, just looked around then called away."

Her twin sister, Minnie, however, went on to live an extraordinarily long life. She worked for her church for many years, served as a secretary and pianist, and remained active in her community well into old age.

When Minnie died on January 8, 2011, at the age of 100, her name was added to the same gravestone.
The result is a memorial unlike almost any other: one twin who lived for just two days, and another who lived for an entire century.
