The Curious Life of Wellington Delaney Moses
By Bill Gallegher
From the Caribbean to the Cariboo
“The Black Barber of Barkerville”, Wellington Delaney Moses was one of the first blacks to arrive in British Columbia, hoping for a new life of freedom from the horrors of racism.
He was an unusual figure in Victoria, with his popular Pioneer Shaving Saloon, but eventually trying to escape the tragic mystery that haunted his wife he headed north to the goldfields. And there he found the happy end of his long and remarkable journey.
Departing from the Caribbean island of his birth, Moses experienced the terrors of working with the Underground Railroad in the United States, saw early colonial society in Victoria and played a crucial role in Judge Begbie’s famous case against James Barry, murderer of Charlie Blessing.
An intriguing life indeed!
