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."H.A. Greeley, Rancher, Dies At Farm Home". Regina Leader-Post, October 31, 1935.
Born at Hudson, New Hampshire in 1858, he was a relative of American newspaper publisher Horace Greeley."Bits and Pieces". Regina Leader-Post, July 27, 1944. He moved to Canada in 1879, settling first in Fort Walsh and later at Maple Creek. At Maple Creek he was manager of T.C. Power's general store, and later took up ranching.
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."Medicine Hat". Regina Leader-Post, November 10, 1898. 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."Young And Bennett Elected".
