Read More	Harry Calder Lee, son of Louise Calder and William Orme Lee, married Emily Adeline Caldwell, daughter of Sarah Elizabeth Davis and David Henry Caldwell on the 4th of October 1911 in the LDS Temple of Salt Lake City, Utah. She bore him a daughter and 2 sons before his death. Emily re-married in 1939. Harry's father William helped pioneer fishing at Waterton, setting up the first fishing and camping here trading as "W. O. Lee & Sons Tented Village", as depicted in old postcards. Waterton Lakes was one of the first places in southern Alberta to become a tourist attraction. The Lee also owned a livery, an undertaking business, and a tent manufacturing company in Cardston. In 1908, he set up two tent camps, one at Waterton Mills by Maskinonge Lake, and another at Linnet Lake, to accommodate the ever-increasing number of tourists coming to the park. The company provided fully-equipped tents, along with rowboats for fishing. The Lees promoted their tent camps through newspaper advertisements, circulars, and postcards. Following W.O. Lee's death in 1911, his business in Waterton Park was taken over by Christian F. Jensen Jr. and his brothers, Enoch and Joseph, of Aetna, Alberta. During the summer of 1916, Harry C. Lee operated his own summer tent village and also leased the Gertrude, a 30-metre-long (100-foot) steam paddle wheeler, moored at Emerald Bay. Lee converted the boat into a floating restaurant and tea room. [Hunter & Lee Floating Cafe Lethbridge Daily Herald – July 27, 1916]. By the following summer (1917), it appears Harry C. Lee was the sole proprietor of the tent camp and cabin rentals. He also rented boats and sold fishing tackle, continuing in his father's tradition. In 1918, the Gertrude was scuttled in the bay, where it remains to this day. In November 1918, Harry C. Lee contracted the Spanish flu and died. His wife, Emily, continued to operate the family's cabin rental business in Waterton Park for a number of years.
