(14 Aug. 1844-30 May 1919), manufacturer. Born near Loch Lomond, Scotland. He came, as a child, in 1854 to Paris, Ontario. In Winnipeg, he established, and was president of, a foundry which grew to be one of Winnipeg’s major industrial enterprises, Vulcan Iron and Engineering Works. His place in the present dictionary is by right of his marriage, in 1874, to Catherine McGregor, of GC. He was a Presbyterian and a Mason. By strange chance, the death of this pioneer manufacturer took place at the time of the Winnipeg General Strike. His widow Catherine, a resident of Winnipeg who died in that city 23 Nov. 1932, was survived by four children, and left an estate of about $95,000. She had a summer property in Minnesota called Glengarry Lodge.
