Paoli (IN) Republican, January 27, 1915, p. 5. JOHN MCINTOSH John McIntosh was born in Orange County, Indiana, May 14, 1838, and died at his home near Orleans January 21, 1915, aged 76 years, 8 months and 7 days. In his early manhood he learned the blacksmith trade and settled in Valeene. In 1859 he was united in marriage to Miss Fannie A. Clayton who traveled with him down's life's pathway until the grim messenger called him last Thursday morning. To this union ten children were born, three of whom, two infants and one daughter, Miss Marry who reached young womanhood, had passed on before to welcome their father on the other shore. Seven children, with the mother, remain to mourn the loss of a devoted father and companion. The surviving children are: Samuel S. McIntosh of Paoli, George C. and Albert McIntosh or Orleans, Mrs. Martha E. Holaday and Benjamin R. McIntosh of South East Township, Arthur McIntosh of State Line, Miss., and Levi McIntosh of Boulder, Col. All the children except Levi were with their father during his last illness. In the early part of the War of the Rebellion, Mr. McIntosh volunteered in the service of his country and became a member of Co. F, 59th Reg., Ind. Vols., and made an excellent record as a soldier, returning home at the expiration of his enlistment to again take up the duties of a private citizen. He soon turned his attention to farming, and for many years was the owner of a fine Patoka River farm a short distance from Valeene. Here he lived and prospered until something more than a year ago when he purchased a tract of land just outside the corporation limits of Orleans and moved there. He was a man of strong physique and usually enjoyed good health. He was a man of the highest integrity, one whose word was never questioned. He was just and honorable in all his dealings and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. His illness, heart trouble, was of few weeks' duration, and he passed away mourned by a large circle of friends. The funeral services were conducted at the home last Friday afternoon by Rev. Oscar Danner of Chambersburg assisted by Rev. Sigmon and Rev. Hobson of Orleans, the interment being in the Orleans Cemetery. A good man is gone, one who will be sadly missed.
