Arthur’s Early Life
Arthur lived with his parents (in Cleveland in 1880 and in Victoria in 1891).
By 1894, Arthur was a clerk with R.G. Dun & Company, which was a credit reporting business.

Arthur first appeared in the Vancouver directories in 1903. He was living at 713 Cambie Street.
He lived at the following addresses in Vancouver.
| 1903 | 713 Cambie Street |
| 1904 | No address under Vancouver names |
| 1905 to 1907 | 900 Davie Street |
| 1908 | 1069 Denman Street |
Marriage to Georgie Keeler
On August 17, 1904, in Victoria, Arthur married Eliza Georgina (“Georgie”) Keeler. She was born in Victoria on October 30, 1876. Her parents were Richard Keeler (1846-1907) and Eliza Mallett (1845-1927).
Georgie’s father, Richard Keeler, died in Victoria on July 13, 1907.
Georgie’s mother, Eliza, died in Oak Bay, British Columbia, on April 2, 1927.
After their wedding, Arthur and Georgie moved to Vancouver, and Arthur continued to work with R.G. Dun.
Back to Vancouver Island
By 1910, Arthur and Georgie were back on Vancouver Island. Arthur was still with R.G. Dun & Company.
Arthur and Georgie were friends with Samuel Huxley Marshall and his wife Ada, who lived at 1075 Denman Street in Vancouver from 1908 to 1925.
Arthur’s Public Service in Oak Bay
From 1919 to 1924, Arthur was a member of the Oak Bay municipal council.
From 1933 to 1940, he was an Oak Bay police commissioner.
Private and Professional Life
By 1921, Georgie had become ill. She was in an institution in New Westminster, British Columbia at the time of the 1921 Canada census. Arthur was living in Victoria with his sister, Ada, and her husband, Albert Coopman.
Arthur’s listings in the Victoria directories did not include Georgie again until 1935, although it is not clear when Eliza actually moved back to Victoria.
Arthur continued to work as a business reporter, including a period after 1933, when R.G. Dun merged with J.M. Bradstreet and Company to become Dun and Bradstreet.
Arthur retired from Dun and Bradstreet about 1945.
Arthur and Georgie were still listed together in the 1948 Victoria directory. However, by 1949, Arthur’s directory entry did not mention Georgie.
In 1950 Georgie was at the Stadacona Guest House in Victoria. She died there on August 10, 1950, and she was buried in Royal Oak Burial Park in Saanich, British Columbia.
By 1954, Arthur was married to Ruth Ellen Dowker, who was a registered nurse. She was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on March 3, 1895. Her parents were James Dowker and Julia Ellen Blanche Mercer. (Ruth had been married before, to Malcolm Alexander Leslie Melville. That wedding was in Victoria on September 6, 1924. Malcolm died in Saanich, British Columbia on December 12, 1946.)
Arthur and Ruth lived in the Victoria area through the 1950s.
In 1957, they were at 1187 Hewlett Place in Oak Bay.
