1) I don't believe Dryden has ever been part of Manitoba. As far as I know, the furthest east the Manitoba/Ontario border went was close to Kenora, Ontario.
2) A person who emigrated to Canada could have served in WWI. It's more likely that he would have enlisted. I don't see him listed in the WWI database at Library and Archives Canada so it would appear he neither enlisted or was drafted.
3) No archives for the pulp and paper mill that I know of. I'm not sure who owned the Dryden mill at that time but their head office wouldn't have been in Dryden.
4) Yes. There was a push for immigrants generally, not just for farming.
I found an entry in the BC Archives deaths database for Herve Gerald D Humphreys who died 18 Apr 1944 in Vancouver at the age of 54. There are some kind souls here who do BC look-up and can obtain a copy of the registration for you. If they are unable to there are also people at the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness website who can do look-ups too. If you want a copy of the death registration you might want to modify your initial post to say "BC Look-up" so those who do look-ups find it easier.
