Roy Hahnenkratts, Arizona Pioneers, Observe 50th Wedding Anniversary. Roy Hahnenkratt, a pioneer in the Arizona transportation business, and his wife celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at a dinner this week in their home, 1541 West Garfield street, for their children, grandchildren and a great-granddaughter. In celebration of the couple's 50th anniversary their family gave them not something gold as is traditional, but a pair of heavy rocking chairs. The Hahnenkratts were married December 22, 1897, at Florence, Colorado, and came to Phoenix in 1919 to take up farming and dairying before going into the transportation business two years later. They had three children, two of whom are living. Mrs. William Fisher and Donald L. Hahnenkratt, both of Phoenix. They have seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Hahnenkratt proudly lays claim to having given Prescott and Jerome their first stageline from Phoenix. In 1922 he organized the Black Canyon Stage Line, hauling laborers to Cave Creek dam, continuing on north over the Black Canyon road to Prescott and Jerome, carrying daily mail and Phoenix papers. He says at that time the Black Canyon "road" was in theory only and he has some good stories about making his own roads. In 1926 he delivered laborers to Lake Pleasant dam and the following year pioneered a stage line over the White Spar highway to Prescott and Flagstaff via Wickenburg. The Black Canyon and White Spar lines were consolidated in 1928 to form the Arizona Transportation Lines. In 1936 Hahnenkratt retired from the transportation business and his line became known as the Santa Fe Trail Stages.
