For the fifteen years preceding his coming to the United States he followed his trade in Glasgow, Scotland. After a few years working in Pittsburgh, Mr. Matthews engaged in photography, continuing in that business until his death in a railroad accident at Braddock, Pennsylvania, in 1883. During the Civil War he enlisted in the Union Army, but his service was short.
