I am looking for any info on W.J. Simpson who was residing in Lacombe, Alberta around the 1906 time frame. I received info today that he was there as a Doctor from 1899 to 1926 and served as mayor of Lacombe from 1923-1924. He was married, I don't know his wife's name. He seems to have disappeared after 1926 to somewhere unknown.

He was the son of Samuel C. Simpson of Goulbourn Twp. and Margaret Kennedy of Beckwith Twp.

I have a lot of family background to share,
Thank you,
Leah
