McINTOSH, a son of Hon. Jacob P. McIntosh, of whom appropriate mention is herein elsewhere made, was born in Highland Township, Greene Co., Ind., July 6, 1858. He received a common school education in the schools of his county and has been mostly engaged in the mercantile business all his life. Until April 1, 1879, he was in the employ of his father at Newark, Owl Prairie and Linton. At that date, he began for himself in the grocery business at Newark, but in May following his father went into partnership with him and they then added a stock of drugs, in which manner they continued until July, 1881, when his brother-in law, Mr. J. F. Wood, came into the firm and it has since been known as J. P. McIntosh & Sons. They carry a stock worth about $4,500, each owning one-third interest. On July 27, 1S79, his nuptials with Miss Delia Frame were celebrated, and they are the parents of two children—Jacob P. Jr., and one that died in infancy. He is a stanch Democrat, and has been delegate in two Congressional Conventions. He has done considerable newspaper writing, and takes an active interest in all public affairs, and is a rising young man who is looked upon with promise.
