looking for graves of Denis C Dent (1906 to 1917) and Alexander Mahood 1844 to ???

Classification: Query
Surnames: Dent or Mahood
William J Dent was a business owner (lumber mill operation) and apparently a mayor of Athabasca Landing according to some correspondence unearthed by English relatives. Alex Mahood was Denis's grandfather and William's father in law. The Dent family settled in Athabasca Landing in about 1915 but moved away from Athabasca during tough economic times in the late 20s or early 30s. The last one of this family to leave the area was Laurence F Dent, school teacher (one room school just outside of Athabasca) If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.
