They lived in Troy for several years, while Charles was working as a lawyer.

By 1890, we find Charles and his son, Charles Francis, both living in Courtenay,B.C. Charles M. started a newspaper there, and apparently started going by the name "Mayo" (his middle name).It was the Courtenay Weekly News.[9]
