  • Notes 
    • STATUS: Commercial.
    • BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: In the 1911 Canada census when he was 16 he was a guest of the government reformatory "school" in the municipality of Point Grey (now part of Vancouver, BC). When he married in 1917, he gave his occupation as "newspaper man" and residence as Victoria, BC. While he was listed with a photographic occupation in the 1920, 1924 and 1928 Vancouver general election voters lists, he only appears once as a photographer in Vancouver in the 1920s.
      When he made a visit to a cousin in Bellingham, WA, in Dec 1924 he gave his permanent address as Victoria, BC; the visit turned out to be permanent according to the 1930 US census. He registered for the World War Two draft in 1942 and gave his employer's name as the American Legion. He relocated to California and passed away there in 1993. [23, 24, 25, 26]
