Born near Nottawa, Ontario on 13 September 1855, son of John Buie and Graham McLean, he attended school during the winter months and worked the family farm during the summer.

In 1892 he opened an undertaking business and, five years later, he bought a carriage manufacturing business. He also owned 480 acres of farm land that he rented.
