He was born in Mulmur Corners, Mulmur, Ontario. In 1902, he married Sarah M. Crisp, a local schoolteacher. He owned a farm at Singhampton, later moving south of Collingwood. Jamieson served as reeve for Nottawasaga Township. He served thirty years on the executive of the Ontario Good Roads Association and was president in 1935. He was part of a group which convinced the provincial government to raise the hull of HMS Nancy and erect a building over it on Nancy Island near Wasaga Beach.
