Biographical history
Frederick William Gordon Haultain, 1857-1942, was born in Woolwich, England. He emigrated to Canada with his parents, and was educated at the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 1882 and the North-West Territories in 1884. He set up a law practice in Fort Macleod in 1884. He was elected to the North-West Territories Legislative Assembly in 1887, and after the formation of the Executive Council served as Premier, 1897-1905. In 1902 he attended the coronation of Edward VII as a representative of Canada. From 1905 to 1912 he sat in the Saskatchewan Legislature, and in 1912 was appointed Chief Justice of Saskatchewan. He retired from this position in 1937. He secretly married Marion Castellain (nee Mackintosh) in March 1906 after she secured a divorce from her American husband Louis. Marion died in Guelph in 1938, and Frederick married Mrs. W.B. Gilmour of Montreal later that year. Haultain Memorial School in Calgary was named in his honour in 1980. In 1946 the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada designated Haultain as a National Historic Person.
