“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 Bahá’í 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.
