Where the Hartwigs lived

Each pin is on its own block, numbered as the households below. One address isn't on today's map, so it has no pin. Today's land, parks, main roads and local areas: City of Vancouver Open Data (Open Government Licence – Vancouver).

What they did

The name section prints a trade for all three: a laborer (2) and a millwright. Three of them worked for Canadian White Pine.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Kensington-Cedar Cottage, Sunset and Victoria-Fraserview. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists H Hartwig at 6106 Chester Street, a laborer at Canadian White Pine. E H Hartwig is listed at 5614 Culloden Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Edmund H Hartwig there as the householder, a laborer at Canadian White Pine.

A Hartwig is listed at 6927 Lanark Street in 1940; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark). The 1940 name section lists Albert Hartwig there as the householder, a millwright at Canadian White Pine.

Today

6106 Chester still has its building from before 1946, dated 1910 by the City's record; 6927 Lanark (1962) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 5614 Culloden, so that building is probably gone (inferred).

Sources

Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under H. Want a name removed? Tell us.
