• Notes

  STATUS: Commercial. BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: He arrived in Vancouver in the winter of 1887-1888 and operated as C.S. Bailey and Company with F.V. Bingham and E. Straube, until 1889. He then formed a partnership with H.G. Neelands as Bailey and Neelands which lasted for little more than a year. The partnership was succeeded by that of the Bailey Brothers which consisted of C.S. and William Bailey. C.S. Bailey married Jennie Johnstone on 4 Sep 1895 and moved to Kamloops the following month. There is no record of his practicing photography after his move there. Though he was ill for most of the remainder of his life, he is credited with managing the Kamloops branch of the Bailey Brothers Ltd. store. He may have been the first professional photographer from Canada to visit Hawaii (Jan-May 1895); his motive was pleasure and not business. Coincidentally, one of his travelling companions was E.A. Hegg who later achieved international fame as a photographer of the Klondike gold rush. Both photographed together on a tour of Oahu. C.S. Bailey's death at the age of 27 cut short a promising career. REFERENCES: Numerous Vancouver, Kamloops and Hawaii newspaper items, 1886-1896.
