Horace Albertie Greeley (1858 - 1935) was a Canadian politician, who represented Medicine Hat from 1898 to 1902, and Maple Creek from 1902 to 1905, in the North-West Legislative Assembly.[1]
Born at Hudson, New Hampshire in 1858, he was a relative of American newspaper publisher Horace Greeley.[2] He moved to Canada in 1879, settling first in Fort Walsh and later at Maple Creek.[1] At Maple Creek he was manager of T.C. Power's general store, and later took up ranching.[1]
He was elected to represent Medicine Hat in the 1898 North-West Territories general election, and sat as a supporter of Frederick W. A. G. Haultain's government.[3] When the Medicine Hat riding was divided in the 1902 North-West Territories general election, Greeley ran in the new district of Maple Creek, winning reelection.[4]
When the legislature was dissolved following the creation of the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan in 1905, Greeley did not run for election to the new Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.[1] He then served as secretary and treasurer of Maple Creek's town government from 1906 to 1909.[1]
