Search help for a 1900s mystery Frey woman

Hello, I'm trying to create a full profile of a woman who is my adoptive paternal grandmother. She died giving birth to my dad, and his family gave him almost zero details about her.

Frey-3189. Mildred Frey. What is in the profile is all I know about her, and most of what I've found comes from family trees. I'd prefer some actual sources and even ideally (hopefully) a photo or two. She may have been born in the USA because my grandfather lived there for a few years before moving north to Canada.

My parents' 55th wedding anniversary is coming up and I want to give them a full family tree album.

all i could find on this family is here but not much https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GHX2-MPS

Thanks. I note that the details are sketchy beyond the Canadian ones. There are a LOT of James or Joseph Frey's out there, and even the Census linked to the mother Hanna/Anna lists the name as Anne. Mildred was a common name in the Frey lineage, it would seem. So the Saskatchewan gives me details on my pGm but not my PGGf or PGGm. Open to collaboration on breaking through that block - I'm still new at all of this.
Hannah/Anna/Anne are all born in 1875 and parents are from Norway on all documents. felt comfortable they are the same person.
