"Johnny" was a Scot, born in 1876, went to work as a tinsmith at the age
of eleven and later, after marriage, settled in Birmingham to pursue his
trade. He was confirmed in the Faith by the Master, Whom he met in 1911
and 1913, when he was, for many years, the only Baha'i in Birmingham.
Johnny kept excellent records of visits and lectures by some of the early
visitors to Birmingham, including Martha Root, Dr. Esslemont, Mountford
Mills and Helen Bishop. At the age of 71 he retired from work and
pioneered to Edinburgh where he died as a result of an accident in January
1948, only three months before the first Spiritual Assembly was formed
there.
