McIntyre, James (29 DEC 1855 – 7 Jun 1916)

James McIntyre was instantly killed on Wednesday of last week near Enterprise, Ore., by being struck by a saw log while at work with his crew in the woods. He was a resident of this city and the remains were brought here for interment by his widow. James McIntyre was born at Newington, Ontario, on Dec. 29, 1855. He was united in marriage to Agnes Weaver on April 24, 1884, and to this union one daughter, Edith (now Mrs. Peacock) was born. His wife died within a few years and he was married to Eva Longway at La Crosse on Sept. 22, 1882. To this union one son and one daughter were born, Kenneth of Wallowa and Mrs. Lee Bell of Hood River, Ore. Mr. McIntyre was a resident of Neillsville and vicinity for many years, coming here 39 years ago. He engaged in the lumbering business at that time and followed this profession throughout his life. Nine years ago he removed with his family to Wallowa, Ore., and entered the employ of the Nibly Minnewagha Lumber Co. in the capacity of superintendent. He continued with this company until two months ago, when he went to the East Oregon Lbr. Co. in the same capacity.

Deceased was a man of enterprise and ability and was possessed of a geniality which made him the friend of all with whom he came in contact. He was an earnest worker and the many positions of trust which were imposed upon him were discharged with true fidelity. He is survived by his wife and three children and one sister, Mrs. Mary McMillan of this city. The funeral was held Tuesday morning, being conducted by the Masonic brethren. Those who were here for the funeral were his wife, Mr. and Mrs. W.M. Peacock of Fennimore, Mrs. Longway and her two brothers of La Crosse, Mrs. Hendron of Greenwood, Donald McMillan of Chicago and Mrs. F.B. Wing of Abbotsford.
