GORDON, Hugh Robert Grant - found 1948 burial, seeking more info

I hope someone can help me.

I am desperately seeking any further information about Hugh Robert Grant Gordon who was born 6th May, 1873 in Nairn, Scotland. He emigrated to BC in 1890 aged 17.

According to the 1901 Canadian Census for Kootenay East, North Riding - Division 5 - Family 9 on page 1 - He is listed as being in Canterbury Village, he is head of household, single, occupation hotelkeeper.

Searches have been made of the Provincial Archive of B.C. Vital Events Index Marriges 1859-1933 and Deaths 1872-1988 and the Soldiers of WW1 archive - all with 0 results.

The good news is that a search of the AGS Cemetery revealed:
Cemetery: Banff. Town: Banff Alberta;
Name: GORDON, Hugh Grant. 1873 -1948

This sounds like it could be him. Is there a record of relevant memorial inscriptions ? And is there any other information I could discover ?

Any help would be hugely helpful.
