Ira Ellis McIntosh was the ninth of twelve children born to Jacob and Nancy 
(Miner) McIntosh natives of Virginia and North Carolina; his parents came to 
Indiana in 1809, locating in Union County, where the subject of this sketch was 
born February 29, 1821; he worked on the farm until he was eighteen years of 
age, when he began work in a buggy factory near Newport, Ky., in company with 
his brother.  This vocation he followed for over twenty years, during which 
time he purchased a farm in Union county; he subsequently sold this, and 
located on a farm in Henry County, where he remained for twenty-two years.  In 
the spring of 1873, he came to this county, and located in Taylor Township, 
where he now resides.  Mr. McIntosh, being of poor parents, recieved but a 
limited education; he was compelled to work and help maintain the family, but 
he has a good practical education, which he has obtained through his own 
efforts.  He was married October 30, 1845, to Elizabeth A, Elder, a native of 
Indiana.  Nine children bless this union - William M., Missouri E., Alpheus W., 
James W., Elizabeth A., Charles E., Lilly B., John F., and Ira E.. Mr. McIntosh 
is liberal in politics, and votes for the man rather than for the party.  He 
and his wife have been members of the Christian Church for over thirty years 
and during twenty-eight years of that time Mr. McIntosh has preached the Gospel.
