MOWRY

I am trying to trace my great-grandmother's cousin, who was living in or near Maple Creek during the early part of this century. His name was Edward M. MOWRY. He was born in South Dakota in Nov. 1882 and was raised there.

Sometime after 1919, he and his wife Alma and daughter Vivian moved to the Maple Creek area. They had a second child named Wallace, but I do not know whether or not he was born there. Edward is shown on his brother Albert's obit from 1928 and again on his father Henry's obit from 1930 as being a resident of Maple Creek, but Edward died sometime before 1943, and I have not been able to gather any information beyond that.

I am wondering if there is a website where I can look up the names of those who've passed away in Canada over the last 70 years to see if he is listed on it. I would especially be interested in discovering burial info or any printed obituaries for Edward and/or Alma. Any help you can provide would greatly be appreciated. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
