The Highwood Cemetery is in High River, Alberta, which is a small town about 30 minutes south of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Death notices would likely be printed in one of 4 newspapers...The High River Times...The Okotoks Western Wheel....The Calgary Herald....or The Calgary Sun. I would look in the archives of all of these newspapers. I hope this information helps you find what you're looking for. Best of luck to you.

I am going out to that cemetary tomorrow I think to look for relatives of mine.
Do you want me to look for your Keddies? Would you want a picture of the gravestone if I can find it?
