    • STATUS: Commercial.
    • BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: According to his death registration he had been in Canada for 50 years and in BC for 35 years. His occupation was as a self-employed photographer which he had last worked at over 15 years on 19 Jun 1960.
      He was first listed as a photographer in a 1923 business directory. Except for his work as a photographer for the Parisian Studio in the 1930 business directory, one of his other listings after 1931 indicate a specific business addresss, which means he may have been working from his home.
