Family photo
Horace's father, Horace Hartley Haney, was a trestle bridge construction foreman for several trestle bridges of the CPR and also Grand Trunk Pacific (which became the CN), including at the time, the world' longest wooden trestle bridge, the Duhamel, over the Battle River, completed in 1910. This photo has him as a boy, 2nd from right, beside his father, with his sister Norma at left, his mother Christina McArthur Haney standing, and his other sister Edith, recently married to William Bonner, both at the right in the horse carriage. This photo was taken at the camp set up for them at Cutarm Creek, near Tantallon, Saskatchewan, before the construction supervised by his father of the trestle bridge there, in 1907. His older brother George Hugh Haney was my grandfather, and at this time was an alderman in London, Ontario with a new family.
