Lost Christoling family in Stauffer/Butte area

Surnames: Christoling, Christolling, Kristalnig, Kirk, Laybourne, Comstock, Simpson, Kuchler
I'm looking for my maternal great-grandmother, Theresia Christoling (spelling might be Christolling or Kristalnig). She was married to Marcus Christoling and they came from Germany in about 1907 or 1908. They had 7 children with them, then Theresia died in childbirth in about 1909. She is buried somewhere in the Stauffer/Butte area. The Christoling children were all sent to separate families to be raised, and lost touch with each other. We are still searching for those lost relatives. . . some possible surnames of the families who adopted them are: Kirk; Laybourne; Comstock (in Red Deer); Simpson (in Innisfail); Kuchler (in Red Deer). Anyone know about these families? Was there a newspaper from 1909 in the Stauffer area that might have mentioned Theresia's death and the adoptions of all the children?
