Charles
Douglas
Charles Stanford Douglas (October 1, 1852 – April 15, 1917) born in
Madison, Wisconsin, co-journalist and realtor, was the 13th Mayor of
Vancouver, British Columbia, serving one term of office in 1909. He
represented Emerson from 1883 to 1888 in the Legislative Assembly of
Manitoba as a Conservative.
The son of John A. Douglas,
Emerson was educated at Wayland University in Wisconsin. In 1877, he
came to Canada, settling in Fort William, Ontario, where he was the
publisher of the Fort William Day Book. Douglas moved to Emerson,
Manitoba the following year and established a new newspaper, The
Emerson International, there. In 1881, he married Annie Johnston.
Emerson was the U.S. vice-consul at Emerson, served on the town
council and was mayor of Emerson in 1888. He was elected to the
Manitoba assembly in an 1883 by-election held after Frederick
Burnham was unseated for bribery[2] and was reelected in 1886.
In 1909, Douglas married Elizabeth Manley (née Fisher), a widow,
after the death of his first wife.
He died in Vancouver at
the age of 64.
