The search for information about this individual should start with his obituary; persumably it would have been published in the Edmonton Journal; the Provincial Archives of Alberta holds copies of this newspaper on microfilm.

An obituary typically names the deceased's spouse and children; though the amount of biographical detail provided varies widely.

To locate his wife's death, it would be helpful to know both where in Alberta and approximately when she died. The Provincial archives holds death registration records for some communities, but these are not indexed; they are arranged by commmunity and then by date.
