John was a Sottish emigrant to Canada, soon settling in Toronto, Ontario where he found employment as a bank clerk with a Toronto bank. He met Sophia at a church gathering and they were married in 1874 in Leamington, Essex county, Ontario.
John and Sophia were a godly young couple and were both tremendous soul-winners. John spent evenings at street meetings, in halls and in theaters, and on Sundays held services in the park. Sophia likewise testified everywhere. They were identified with the Plymouth Brethren.
John was known as "The Eternity Man," because every time he met someone he asked them, "Where will you spend eternity?"
In the providence of God, this soul-winner died at 27 years of age from typhoid fever after only 17 days, leaving his young widow with 2 sons -- the oldest age 2 and the other only 3 weeks old.
