Born at Yorkshire, England in February 1881, he came to Canada in 1894 and resided at Pembroke, Ontario before coming to Gladstone where he operated a photo studio. A collection of his photographs depicting agricultural activities at Carberry, Carey, Curtis, Dauphin, Gladstone, Golden Stream, Grandview, Killarney, Langruth, Minnedosa, Morden, Swan River, and Woodside is held at the Archives of Manitoba. On 2 July 1908, he married Margaret Ethel Lorne Feeley (1881-1965) at Winnipeg and they had a son. In late 1921, they moved to Winnipeg where the couple worked as “portraiture artists” through to retirement in 1960. He died at Winnipeg on 21 January 1967 and was buried in the Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens.
