Missoula, Jan. 13.--- J. H. McIntyre died at the Sisters' hospital here this morning, after an illness of about a week. The funeral will be held from Lucy's undertaking parlors tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock, and will be conducted under the auspices of Fred Winthrop post, No. 11, G.A.R., of which deceased was a member.
Mr. McIntyre is one of the pioneers of Montana, having come to Virginia City in the fall of 1864, just after his discharge from General Grant's army. About twelve years ago he came to Missoula, and has been working at his trade of machinist about different sawmills of the county until a couple of years ago, when a general breaking down of his constitution would not permit of his doing heavy work. Since then he has been employed as janitor at various hotels in the city.
About New Years he was taken ill, and laid in his cabin in the north side several days without assistance until his condition became known to James Osborne, who had known him since his residence here, and who secured his admission to the Sisters' hospital, where he rapidly grew worse, until six o'clock this morning, when death came to relieve his sufferings.
He was born in Newark, New Jersey, sixty-five years ago, and served in Company D, Fifth regiment, United States artillery from April 19, 1861, to April 19, 1864, when he was honorably discharged on account of sickness contracted during the last campaign in which he took an active part.
He joined Fred Winthrop post No. 11, of this city May, 1, 1900, and will be buried with all the honors of a departed veteran of the civil war.
