Impartial Reporter page 1:
Wm. Irvine, the founder and supreme authority of what is known as Cooneyism, is a Scotchman.
His native place is Kilsyth, a small town near Glasgow. Before he became a Tramp he had attached
himself to the sect know an the Faith Mission or Pilgrims, and was the manager of a coal mine
under Baird & Co., Glasgow, and enjoyed a salary of £300 a year.

William Irvine left this employment and joined the Faith Mission, under the control then of
J. G. Govan, of Rothsay, who still holds conventions after the manner followed at
Crocknacrieve, but on a much smaller scale.
