He was born in Inverness, Scotland, February 7, 1870, and was reared and educated in his native country. Early in life he came to the United States, settling in Florida, and in 1896, when twenty-six years of age, he came to Tampa, which city has continued to be his home ever since. Upon coming to Tampa he entered the lumber business, and has continued in it, and is now at the head of the Southern Lumber & Supply Company, the largest and most prosperous concern of its kind in the south. This company owns and operates extensive works at Tampa, and has customers in all parts of Florida. It handles all kinds of lumber and building materials at both wholesale and retail, and its planing mill and mill-work shops are thoroughly modern and equipped with special machinery of latest design. The plant is located at the foot of Tyler Street. Associated with Mr. Mackintosh in the business is C. H. KNOWLES, who is vice president, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work, and the two have achieved something of which they may well be proud, for it not only is a source of wealth to them, but is a valuable addition to the industrial life of Tampa and Hillsborough County. On April 5, 1896, Mr. Mackintosh married at Ocala, Florida, Miss MARY D. GASKILL, and they have two children, namely: ANNIE and MARGARET. Mr. Mackintosh is recognized as one of the most valuable citizens of Tampa, and his influence for good government and progressive civic advancement is felt in many ways.
