Son of Alexander Templeton, a Selkirk settler, his family farmed in the vicinity of what is now Kildonan Park. He operated a grocery on Main Street in Winnipeg for 27 years.

He lived there for a year but, having had no medical success, returned home to Winnipeg. He was a Mason and a member of St. Giles Church. He died at Winnipeg on 2 December 1924 and was buried in the Kildonan Cemetery.
