BAYLY, WILLIAM, Mining, Los Angeles, California, is a native of Missouri, having been born at Lexington, that State, in the year 1856. He is the son of Charles B. Bayly and Matilda (Russell) Bayly. He married Eva Houghton at Del Norte, Colorado, in the year 1876, and to them there have been born two children—William Bayly, Jr., and Charles H. Bayly.
Mr. Bayly is one of those successful American business men who did not have opportunity or time to devote to his education before going out into the world to start his life career. His family having moved from Lexington to St. Louis, Missouri, when he was a child, he attended the public schools of the latter city in the Civil War period. At the age of 16 years he gave up his studies and decided to seek his fortune in the West. He went to Colorado and engaged in the hardware business with Alva Adams, a pioneer of Colorado, who afterwards become Governor and is today one of the richest men in the Silver State and one of those who have done much to develop that commonwealth. Between them the two young merchants built up a thriving business.
Mr. Bayly remained in this business for twenty years, during which time he made a considerable fortune. After two decades in the one line, he engaged in the mining business and has been in it ever since. He has mined on an extensive scale in Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California, and today is one of the conspicuous men in the business.
He left Denver in 1895 and went to Los Angeles to establish his home. Since becoming a citizen of the Southern California metropolis he has aided in every movement for the development of the city and Southern California.
He is a member of the California Club of Los Angeles.
