HIS REAL NAME IS MICHAEL HANEY, AS IN HANEY BC, NOT SO NAMED. Some notes below from Maj. JS Matthews. Memorandum of conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Creelman, at their suite No. 46, 2625 Hemlock Street, Fairview, Vancouver, 25 May 1937.

Andrew Onderdonk. M.J. Haney. C.P.R. construction.

Mr. Creelman: “I came west with the first gang, when M.J. Haney commenced in March 1883; the gang had finished in Winnipeg; M.J. Haney was the bridge contractor—he was superintendent — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.68.6.12 (talk) 03:12, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
