The Master Surname Index (not online) (mostly burials in Alberta cemeteries) of the Alberta Genealogical Society lists some 60 John TAYLOR names;
I check all these for a death of about 1922, but none. And none near the area of Mahaska, which was an old Post Office some 18 miles north of Peers, or about 40 Miles north east of Edson.
