Jane Nelson jnelson@paonline.com =========================================================================== MARY ELLENOR MCINTIRE, daughter of Daniel and Martha Ann McIntire, died at the house of her parents in Wayne township, Armstrong county, Pa., on the 26th of December, 1877, in the eleventh year of her age. Though but a child she enjoyed a clear Christian experience. To her death had lost it's sting, and she looked forward to her dying hour as the time when this earthly should be changed for the image of the heavenly. She said shortly before her death, "I soon shall get wings and fly away home to Jesus." T. H. W. ********************************************** MARTHA ANN, wife of Daniel MCINTYRE, was born November 12, 1830, and died near Echo, Armstrong county, Pa., December 10, 1878. Her sickness was of short duration. We believe that when the Master called she was ready. She had been a consistent Christian and member of the M.E. Church for many years. She has gone, we trust, to a sweet reward above. A husband and four children are left in sorrow for a loved on. PASTOR (clipped) ************************ DANIEL M'INTIRE was born in Westmoreland county, Pa., Dec 21, 1821, and died Sept. 16, 1893. In September, 1842, he joined the church at Echo, of which he was a consistent member till the Master took him to himself. March 27, 1855, he was married to Martha A. Lias, who died Dec. 10, 1878. He was married to Elizabeth Kline March 28, 1881, who still survives. He leaves behind him a wife, three sons and a daughter, and a host of friends. D. J. FRUM ************************ (clipped) Died, of paralysis, in Wayne township, Armstrong County, Pa., February 20, 1865, Mary, wife of John McIntyre, in the 70th year of her age. Sister McIntyre united with the M.E. Church under the pastorate of R. Boyd, forty years ago, at Hopewell, Indiana county, and was made happy in a Savior's love in a prayer meeting; from which time she continued a consistent, faithful Christian woman. Her piety was of a cheerful cast, which enabled her to enjoy much of the Savior's love. During her affliction, which was protracted, she was patient and happy. her house was often sought by the weary itinerant, and he found a pleasant resting place. She reared a large family of children, all of whom are on the way to the better land. One of her sons, Rev. John McIntyre, is a member of the Pittsburgh Conference. She died in a good old age, full of hope, and has gone to her reward in the skies. May the Lord comfort and support her bereaved husband, and brig the family to heaven at last. M. J. MONTGOMERY **************************** ALEXANDER McINTIRE was born in Westmoreland county, Pa., October 10, 1823, and died December 33, 1875, at his residence, near Baldwin City, Kansas, in his fifty-second year. On December 2d he was first taken with pneumonia , but was able to be about the house until the 20th, when he was suddenly prostrated, the disease now assuming the low form of typhus fever; and under it he sank rapidly until the 22nd, when he breathed his last, quietly falling "asleep in Jesus." His conversion occurred in early life, and all his days were spent with an eye single to the glory of God. He possessed a power in prayer that is possessed by few men; and having such strong faith in the promises of God, and the necessity of present blessings, he entered into the spirit of prayer with such fervency that all in the sound of his voice seemed wafted up top the very gates of the heavenly city, and there with him commune face to face with the divine Master. On November 5th (seven weeks before his death) he was called to bid adieu to his wife (Mary McIntire) with whom he had lived since 1948. Her death was sudden, but her faith wavered not as she passed down to the chilly wave of the Jordan of death. After this, and all through his sickness, he was despondent and low spirited and from the last of his sickness he had a premonition of his own death. He will long be remembered for his even Christian character and deportment before the world. He left behind him five children, who are consoled with the promises of God, and with hope that, in the 'bright Eden above," the family ties will be reunited; and we trust his many friends in Pennsylvania and at Mt. Union, O., will remember the homeless children in their great bereavement . During his residence in Kansas he held exhorter's license from the M. E. Church, in which he has lived and labored all his life. Father McIntire has been a subscriber to the PITTSBURGH ADVOCATE some twenty-five years, and thoroughly devoted to the interests of his church. He was a brother of the late Rev. John McIntire, of the Pittsburgh Conference, and also father-in-law of Rev. E. F. Holland, of the Kansas conference. E. F. H. ************************** Died, December, 1865, JOHN McINTYRE, father of Rev. John McIntyre of the Pittsburgh Conference, in the 68th year of his age. During a period of about forty years, father McIntyre was connected with the M. E. Church, part of the time he served in an official capacity. His last illness was protracted, and his sufferings intense; but while the outward man was consuming with pain, and its energies wasting with disease, he was not forsaken of God, nor bereft of spiritual comfort. In his deepest affliction he expressed his confidence in Christ unshaken, and his hopes of immortality bright; and doubtless he never realizes on the other shore, that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us. H. C. Beacom **************************** Aged Woman Claimed by Death Mrs. Mary J. McIntire, widow of the late Rev. John McIntire, was claimed by death, Saturday evening, her death occurring at the residence of her son, J. E. McIntire, of Chestnut St., with whom she made her home.

(DOD- Aug. 27, 1917) ******************************************************* Rev. John McIntire Rev. John McIntire was born in Westmoreland Co., Pa., in March, 1829, and born again in the fall of 1844 at a meeting held at the Beck appointment (now Knox) in what was then Kittanning circuit. His conversion was clear and satisfactory. The fruits of his life were such as the bible describes, and such as adorn Christian character. He loved the means of grace and punctually attended upon them all. He believed and felt that a dispensation of the Gospel was committed to him; and in due time he was found among the message bearers of heaven. His first field was Blacklick circuit where he traveled as a supply with the Rev. R. Jordan in 1855. He was admitted into the Pittsburgh conference at its session in Salem, Ohio, in 1856 and was appointed to Blairsville circuit, with Rev. Thos. J. Higgins; in 1857-8 with Rev. E. B. Griffin, to Redstone and Connelsville circuit; in 1859-60 to Fayette circuit, Rev. S. T. Show being junior preacher; in 1861 he served Bridgeport, (Pa.)Station; in 1862-3, Addison circuit; in 1864, Carmichael's circuit, where he was stricken down with dysentery from which he never fully recovered. At the Conference of 1865 he was placed on the superannuated list, in 1866 made effective and sent to Waynesburg(Pa) circuit and returned in 1867. In 1868-69-70 he travelled Beallsville circuit, and in 1871-72 Dravo and Greenock, his last charge. About the 15th of September, 1872, he preached his last sermon at the Dravo church. On his way to Boston, where he was to preach at 3 P.M., he took dinner with Wm. B. Dravo, where he fell sick, and with difficulty reached his home, where he remained confined to his room, and mostly to his bed, till Sunday morning, Sept., 7th, 1873, when he sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. His last sickness was long and painful, but he was a patient and even cheerful sufferer, and though cut off from the outside world and ignorant of passing events, he uttered no complaint. His enjoyments were of high order, often indeed full of ecstasy. Such was his nearness to God and such his triumphs and victories that he was astonished himself, and doth in wonder and amazement at the wondrous grace and love of God. He feasted on the precious words of inspiration. "The judge of all the earth will do right," he would exclaim. Wesley's dying saying be almost daily quoted, "The best of all is God is with us." To his wife he said, "The Lord is too good to do wrong; my sufferings are all right, and when he says come up higher, I am ready." While partaking of the Lord's Supper on the evening of Aug. 24, he said, "We shall drink the wine anew together in the kingdom of heaven." The 23rd Psalm was marrow and fatness to his soul. The hymn "Jesus lover of my soul," he frequently repeated. the day before he died, while suffering much, he said, "Jesus can make a dying bed, feel soft as downy pillows are." His funeral was largely attended. It was meet that he should be buried from the church where he preached his last sermon, and his remains be laid in the Dravo graveyard. the funeral services were conducted by Rev. D. S. McCready. At the house, after singing "Jesus , lover of my soul," prayer was offered by Rev. E. B. Griffin. At the church a portion of Job 14th, was read by Rev. M. McK. Garrett, then the 1086th hymn, commencing "Servant of God, well done," was announced by Rev. E. B. Griffin, after which prayer was offered by Rev. J. J. Hays. Then the 23rd Psalm was read by Rev. J. S. Speer of the U. P. Church, followed by the sermon, by Rev. D. A. McCready, founded on Job 14-14; at the conclusion of which statements were made by the ministers present. The people then slowly and solemnly passed by the coffin, looking on the face of the dead; the remains were then carried to the grave, the funeral service read, a portion of the 943rd hymn commencing "Forever with the Lord," was sung, and the benediction pronounced. Bro. McIntire was a successful minister of the Lord Jesus. His first year on this charge, being his last year of labor, was very successful. Though he ministered in great feebleness physically, yet he was strong in the Lord. He was eminently devotional; a man of much prayer. a divine power and unction characterize his prayers always; but frequently it was as ointment poured forth, thrilling many hearts with joy and astonishing the entire audience. He was a close student, especially of the Bible. It was his daily companion. His rule was to rise early and spend an hour or more in reading the Bible and in prayer. His preparations for the pulpit were thorough, bringing into the sanctuary beaten oil. He fought a good fight; he kept the faith and has received a crown of life. "O, may we triumph so, When all our warfare's past; And dying, find our latest foe Under our feet at last." May heaven sustain the bereaved widow and four orphan children, who now need the prayers and sympathies of the church. J. L.
