Obit Lookup - Sanderson/Saunderson Copeland of Meadow Lake

Obit Lookup - Sanderson/Saunderson Copeland of Meadow Lake

Hi,
Hoping someone might be able to do an obit lookup for Sanderson/Saunderson Copeland who passed away June 2, 1969 in Meadow Lake. He is buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery. Trying to determine if this is the same Sanderson who was born in New Brunswick and if so, maybe his obit might explain why he ended up out west.

Hi, Just a thought. Cemetery Office - might be able to assist - they will know burial info - but may have a little personal information. They will also know the name of the Funeral Home/ Undertaker - who may have taken information for a Registration of Death.
though it will not show a reason for being in Saskatchewan.
Posting date / place of birth - may help.
What was the occupation in New Brunswick ? - perhaps following a job opportunity.

Just got a confirmation from another subscriber (had a hidden/private tree) on ancestry.com - looks like I got the right guy. After Sanderson/Saunderson's wife passed away early in 1922 in Queens County, New Brunswick, he moved out west (he also lost an infant daughter at about the same time). According to my info he was born Feb. 23, 1888 in Queens County, NB.

No other info is known about him - guess he never came back to NB to visit his surviving children/family etc.
