Family trees on ancestry regarding Francois Eloi Gagnon show that Gagnon is a "dit" name.  They can also be known as Belzile and its many spelling variations.  If you google "dit" names you can find many explanations of it - better than I can explain.  But in other words Joseph's ancestors could either be under Belzile or Gagnon.  Plus Eloi Gagnon might actually be blood related to Joseph in some capacity other than the adopted father he is shown as on Joseph's marriage record.

Before you do your intensive research Sandra there is a previous thread

Burial entry for James William in 1912 does not list cause of death just burial details.

I have only needed to buy one death certificate from Manitoba.  The year of death was 1916 and it did include the cause of her death, where she was buried, father's name and place of birth.
Have you tried asking the library in Altona to look for an obituary.

The 21 Aug 2007 edition of the Brandon Sun has an obituary for William John Spraggs who died peacefully at the Morley House Personal Care Home, Shoal Lake at 89 years.  Survived by children Edward (Leslie)....
It is available as a subscription so not much more to be seen but perhaps the Brandon library could send you a scanned copy since you can provide an exact edition for them to look up.

Michael was most likely part of this camp program.  Started by looking for Rockcliffe Camp as part of the military base that existed there at one time and came across this article.

He/She is a cutie.  Dogs are usually fast learners it is the people that are usually the stumbling block.
