He was born at Grove City, Penn., U.S.A. At a tender age, his family moved to Beaver Falls, Pa., where he grew up and received his early education. His B.A. degree was granted by Geneva College in 1901. His B.S. degree was given by Penn State University, after which they also granted his M.A. and M.S. degrees. He completed most of his work towards the Ph.D. degree, but interest in scout work sidetracked this pursuit. While teaching at Penn State University from 1911 until he retired in 1946, he took an active part in the Boy Scouts, being a Scout Master and a Commissioner for the State College district. For meritorious service, he was granted the Silver Beaver award – a high honour indeed. in the midst of all this social service, he found time to publish two learned articles on dynamiting and also on knots and splices, both of which were favourably received in scholarly circles. From his birth he was connected with the Reformed Presbyterian Church being baptized in it and joining a congregation in Beaver Falls, Pa. He was elected to the eldership in the Bear Run Mahoning, Pa., congregation in 1931 and when he transferred his membership to the Almonte congregation, he was promptly elected to the session here, being installed in the office on October 10, 1955. He met his future wife at a young people's conference in New York State, and Miss Isabella Waddell and he were united in holy matrimony on August 22, 1928, at the home of her parents Mr and Mrs J.S. Waddell of Pakenham Township. The deceased younger sister (Mrs Reid McBurney of Los Angeles, Calif.) alone survives of the original family of three boys and three girls., along with his wife and five nephews and two nieces. The pallbearers for the occasion were Ken Johnson, Jack, Jim, and Ray Morton, Alan Burns and John Waddell, with interment being in Auld Kirk. Blessed indeed are they who die in the Lord.
