Born in Middlesex County, Ontario on 14 May 1871, son of Thomas Beveridge (c1826-1895) and Margaret Kennedy McLeish (?-1918), brother of Thomas Beveridge, the family moved to Manitoba where he was educated at the Winnipeg Collegiate Institute. He taught for three years in schools of Manitoba and Saskatchewan and attended Manitoba College, from which he graduated with a BA degree in 1900.
