Just hoping it leads to an obituary. RK is the expert on here so my fingers are crossed for you.  Sadly the entry did not tell us what month which might help in a newspaper search  :-\

Do you know when they arived in Canada?
Passenger Lists or naturalization documents?

If, as you say, they are both from Austria or Poland/Ukraine, then they could have anglicized their names

Simen (Simon): Simmon, Simmen, Ziemann, Zeimann, Zeemann
Stone: Ston, Stones, Stoney, Stein

Just a thought

Dave
