| Donald McIntyre was born in Johnstown,
New York, September 19, 1831. He came to Michigan when but 6 yrs of
age, located in this county. In 1857 he married Olive M. Herrick and
moved with his bride to White Oak Twp. where they lived for 31 yrs.
Eighteen years ago he moved his family to Howell where they have since
resided. To this union 5 children were born, 4 of whom still survive.
He served his country faithfully in the war of the rebellion, and there
received a shock to his mental and physical powers, that has caused him much
suffering and cost him his life. His home life was the most congenial.
He was a kind neighbor, a good citizen, a pioneer and a patriot. His
funeral was held from the family residence on Fri, Aug 30, 1906. Thus
another one of those who have helped to make and preserve this nation has
passed on. - Contributed by Norann Lustfield |
