Hi, Perhaps contacting the Public Library for Drumheller
http://www.drumhellerlibrary.ca/
They may hold newspapers in their collection - may do a lookup for you.
The Cemetery Office - will know the name of the Funeral Home in Charge of arrangements. The Funeral Home may have also taken information for an Obituary.
The Obituary may be helpful - but there may not be enough information to help with family research. Many do not give a personal history.

Genealogical Registration of Death - will hold all personal information required at the time. Name, date and place of birth. Names of Parents including maiden name of the mother - Place of birth of parents - etc.
Obtain from the Govt of Alberta Vital Statistics Registry Offices - The cost in the $40 range.

Cheers, Stella
