Grain merchant.
Born at Woodstock, Ontario in 1867, son of Gilbert Matheson (c1833-1903) and Ann Sutherland, he came to Brandon as a young man where he farmed until moving to Winnipeg around 1907. He was associated with the Manitoba Grain Company and, in 1908, formed the Matheson-Lindsay Grain Company in partnership with William James Lindsay and his brother George William Lindsay, which he managed until retirement in 1925. He was a member of the Motor Country Club, Winnipeg Jockey Club, and Winnipeg Flying Club. He died unmarried at the Winnipeg General Hospital on 27 May 1947 and was buried in the Elmwood Cemetery.
