PETER J. McINTOSH was born between 1857-1861 in Ontario. He was of Scottish decent. In the book 'Where the Prairie Lily Blows', a history of the Rocanville, Saskatchewan area, it states that Pete McIntosh died in 1939 at 82 years of age, which would make his birth year approximately 1857. However, the 1901 CANADA CENSUS it states that he is 40 years of age, and the approximate birth year as 1861.
*The 1901 CANADA CENSUS states that his birthplace was Ontario, and estimates his birth year as 1861 and his age 40.
*The 1911 CANADA CENSUS states that his birthplace was Ontario and the birth year is July 1861.
*The 1916 CANADA CENSUS states that his birthplace is Ontario, birth year estimated at 1860 and his age is 56
Peter J. McIntosh came from Stratford, Ontario to the Rocanville districk in 1883, along with his friend Charlie Salkeld. They moved to the Rocanville, Saskatchewsan area. It was then that he met Miss Annie Elizabeth 'Liz' Mulberry. The couple was married in Estevan, Saskatchewan in 1890.
They settled on the property at NE 18-17-31, which was not too far from the Perth School.
In 1890 the old log school building from Rocanville was moved near Pete and Liz's homestead onto NW 17-17-31. In 1905 a new school was built. Mrs. Mac taught at the school for a time until a teacher could be located and brought in. Liz became know as 'Mrs. Mac'. For 40 years the teachers would board at the McIntosh home. Mrs. McIntosh was fond of caring for the children. Pete was the 'fire-lighter' for the Perth School for 20 years.
Pete was a very good violin and fiddle player, He would play at gatherings in homes. He often times accompanied James Auburton Mulberry 'Jimmie' who played the mouth organ. The furniture was moved out of the way so people could dance; children fell asleep to the sound of the merriment in the homes.
Liz and Peter McIntosh had two children:
MARGARET 'Maggie' McINTOSH (1892-1948)
DAVID MULBERRY McINTOSH (1897-1976)
Maggie McIntosh married Francis McKeon. David remained a bachelor. Neither of Liz's children had any children of their own. Liz's brother Dave Mulberry lived with the McIntosh family during the summers, as his own wife passed away in 1932.
