"ANOTHER PIONEER GONE" -- Galen McIntosh was born February 21, 1841 in Green
County, Indiana, and died at his home in Sidney, Iowa, October 11, 1917, aged 76
years 7 months and 20 days. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian
Church in Sidney on Monday at 10 a.m., conducted by the pastor, Rev. M. W.
Lorimer, and the interment was in the Hamburg Cemetery.

Mr. McIntosh was married January 12, 1860, to Miss Sarah E. Beasley, and to them
were born seven children, three of whom are living, namely, V. V. McIntosh who
resides in Montana; Mrs. Louisa Anderson of Cataract, Wisconsin; and Miss
Frances McIntosh of Sunnyside, Washington. In the fall of 1865, in company with
the family of his father-in-law, he and his family came to Iowa and settled on a
farm a few miles east of Riverton, where he was engaged for several years in
farming and dealing in live stock. His wife died August 16, 1897 (sic; 1877?),
and in the fall of that year he was converted at a Methodist revival and joined
the church. Before his death he was at peace with the Lord and reconciled to his
will.

On October 6, 1880, Mr. McIntosh was married to Lucinda Beasley, a sister of his
first wife, and to them were born two daughters, Mrs.Pearl Fletcher, who resides
near Hamburg, and Mrs.June Beveridge of Redstone, Montana. All the children of
both marriages were helpful to their parents. Mrs. Fletcher was with her father
in his last hours giving aid and comfort while all the children contributed
financially when necessary to his support.

Mr. McIntosh and wife of recent years have resided in Sidney, taking care of
their home in the northwest part of town, and Mr. McIntosh engaging in hunting
and trapping animals for their hide during the witner. He was a familiar figure
on the street and had a host of friends throughout the county. His health has
not been good for about three years, and some three weeks ago he was taken
suddenly worse and was confined to his bed until the end.

The family is grateful to the many friends for aid and sympathy during his last
illness.
