1962 voter's list Mayo Yukon
Frank Dupont, labourer

I did not find a headstone for either of them in Mayo cemetery.
I cannot find a non native cemetery in Fort Selkirk which is where they were on 1949 voters list.
Who knows where they went from there. If he was prospecting they could be anywhere.
From what I have found on the net, records in the Yukon were not kept very well so there may not even be a record of her death or his.

Her father died in 1952 in BC. Maybe there was an obituary and she may have been mentioned.

Thanks for your reply.
I noticed also that the 1962 voters list did not mention Lorraine.
Unfortunately there was no obituary for Wallace (our dad).
I have just run across, in the Yukondigitaallibrary, the following:
"Mrs. Frank Dupont Suffers Painful Injury At Gold Point, Y.T.", Atlin News-Miner, 19 October 1940.
Lorraine and Frank must have gone to the Yukon shortly after they got married.
