Hallonquist Saskatchewan In Black & White

Hallonquist is located on Hwy 363 South East of Swift Current SK. I have had many requests to shoot a Ghost Town all in B&W. Hallonquist is just perfect for this but I had to have a perfect weather day to shoot it. I needed overcast and cloudy skies & some wind to "bend" the grass, all this combined would give the real Ghost Town look. There are few or no residents open fields and many old buildings which include a curling rink, school, shop's and old home foundations.
I hope you all enjoy this walk though Hallonquist....................and how it was busy years ago

I am a military researcher based in Montreal and I was wondering if you are related to Joseph Eskell Hallonquist (who was a fighter ace in WW I) or know of any direct relatives still living. Have quite a bit of research done on him and would like to pass it on to the family. Thanks Donald Chartrand (dgt2010@videotron.ca)

My father taught there in 1959/60. I went to school there and then to high school in Vanguard. Visited a few weeks ago, wow, 50 years later! Not much remains but I did look into the school, I was sure it was a two room school as Jim Lyding taught there at the same time. I remember nailing the exterior sheathing on the curling rink which is still standing. Community Hall looks like it still may be used. I recall going to the Hall to listen to Hal Lonepine, and I believe I've heard him on Grand Old Opry. Not sure though. Some names come back to me: Danny and Shirly Wall (lived near the Lutheran church, Gord Laing (lived in the yard by the creek where the two old trucks are pictured), Brian and Carol Busse (lived west of town) Beckers (can't recall her first name), Gordon Berg, Donna Busse and her brothers Darryl and Don I think. Dale Busse, Larry Busse, Rodney Swartz (east of town), Linda Busse, Dreavers, Marie Blair I believe ran the store (remarried and moved to Moose Jaw last I knew, Gunthers ran the Esso bulk agency, elevator agent I can't recall the name. We lived in the north teacherage which was east of the school building and Jim Lyding lived in the south one. Basements have been filled and are full of junk now. Don't where anyone is these days but if anyone from that time period reads this you can get in touch with me in Black Diamond, AB 403-770-9116

Scary, I just googled my old home town and these pictures came up. I was raised on a farm 3 miles from there. Great photos. My grandmother lived in this town. My 90 year old father could likely tell you who lived in all the houses. The white church was a Lutheran Church.
