He was 24. She was 19.5,6 Stanley L. Bezanson was a harness maker at Windsor, Nova Scotia, in 1896. He was a grocer at Bellevue, Kentucky.7 He died on 14 January 1952 at Bellevue, Kentucky, at age 81.7,8 He was buried in Alexandria Cemetery, Alexandria, Kentucky.9

     Obituary, 16 January 1952:

Services for Stanley L. Bezanson, 172 Van Voast Ave., Bellevue, retired grocer, will be held at 9 a. m. tomorrow at the Dobbling funeral home, Bellevue. Burial will be in Alexandria Cemetery.

Mr. Bezanson, who was 81 years old, died Monday at the Booth Hospital, Covington. He was a member of the Henry Barnes Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons.

     Obituary from The Chronicle-Herald (Halifax, Nova Scotia), 1 February 1952:
The death occurred of Stanley L. Bezanson of Bellevue, Kentucky, in his 81st year, s/o the late Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin Bezanson of Windsor, N.S., survived by his widow and 2 sons in Kentucky. 2 brothers: Clyde, Centreville, N.S. and Burt, California. 3 sisters: Maud (Mrs. Parker Bezanson) Connecticut, Pearl, and Lilliam (Mrs. Frank Leighton) both of Windsor.

     It seems likely that at age 6, Stanley was the boy named Stanley Bezanson that was rescued after falling into the water from a wharf. A news story on 14 April 1877 reported that 12-year old Willie Francis of Windsor, Nova Scotia, was awarded a bronze medallion by the Royal Humane Society for rescuing a young boy named Stanley Bezanson on 24 October 1876.11

     The evidence for the brthdates of the children of Arthur Kelden Bezanson and Alah Benedict is contradictory. The primary sources indicate years that are about two years younger than the dates entered in the 1911 census. While I would normally assume that the census ages were incorrect, some of the birth registration entries were delayed entries recorded many years later. The birth date of Helen Grace, for example, was recorded in 1969, and the 1911 census entry was more contemporary.
