As a youth, he worked in coalmines. In 1919, he emigrated from England and settled in Mountain Park, Alberta. While living in Mountain Park, he worked in various positions for the coal mine including delivery person, steam engineer, and watchman.
Throughout his life, Lee practiced photography. He and fellow photographer, Allan Godby developed their photographs of Mountain Park, and created postcards.
Jane McLeod came to Mountain Park from Edmonton, Alberta. Charles and Jane married and had two children: Mary and Sandy.
In 1950, after the Mountain Park mine closed, the Lee family moved to Mercoal, and Charles worked in the Mercoal mine until its closure in 1959. The family then moved to Edson, Alberta.
Following Edson, Jane and Charles moved to Edmonton, Alberta. While living in Edmonton, Charles worked as a steam engineer for the main branch of the YMCA.
Charles held membership with the Independent Order of Oddfellows and the Elks. In 1973, Charles passed away.
