Stonemason, sculptor.
Born at England in August 1875, he and his wife Mary Elizabeth Cox (1877-?) immigrated to Canada in 1907. By 1911, they settled at Tyndall, where he plied his trade in stone masonry, working as a stone cutter in the local quarries as well as a limestone sculptor. At least one of his works was acquired by the Winnipeg Parks Board. Some time prior to 1921, they took up residence along Park Avenue in Beausejour. By 1926, they left town and their further whereabouts are unknown.
