Born at Leverington, England on 19 February 1850, he came to Canada in 1875 and, a year later, was ordained a priest and began working as an missionary for the Anglican Church Missionary Society among Aboriginal peoples in the region that subsequently became Saskatchewan. From 1876 to 1888 he served at Sandy Lake, then from 188 to 1890 at The Pas and Cumberland. From 1890 to 1905 he was the rural dean of Cumberland.
