General Notes: Husband - Richard E. McIntyre

---

He attended the public schools until he was fourteen years of age, when he left to become a teamster in Grand Valley and Titusville, Pennsylvania. He drew the first load of oil taken from the Maple Shade wells of Oil Creek, and carted the first lumber to Pithole, Pennsylvania, for the oil tanks, the lumber being valued at seventy-five dollars per thousand feet. Until 1881 he engaged in various occupations, cattle driving at Triumph, Pennsylvania; lumbering at Spring Creek, Pennsylvania; teaming in New London, Pennsylvania, and Edenburg, Pennsylvania; farming in Ohio and Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and in that year he began at Mount Alton, Pennsylvania, in the occupation in which he had the most success, that of butcher. He supplied the meat for the company which erected the Kinzua Bridge, said to be the highest in the world. In 1883 he moved to Lafayette Corners, Pennsylvania, where he conducted a hotel and meat market, leaving that town to go to Bradford, Pennsylvania, establishing what became one of Bradford's most popular meat markets.
He was a member of the United Brethren church, and took an active interest in all its affairs, being a trustee and treasurer. He belonged to Tent No. 4, Knights of the Maccabees, Bradford; Knights of St. John, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, having been a charter member of the Mount Alton Lodge of that order.
