Tuesday, 26 August 1873


         Another veteran seaman, CAPTAIN JOHN McINTYRE,
       died at his residence in this city last night,
       after a short but painful illness. CAPTAIN Mc-
       INTYRE was one of the oldest seamen sailing 
       from this port, having commanded a vessel for
       over thirty years, and during that period he
       was noted as being one of the most careful and
       capable of men, never to our knowledge having
       met with disaster.
         The first vessel he commanded was the schooner
       Potomac, owned by Fitzhugh & Littlejohn, and the
       last, the schooner Granada. The captain had been
       in ill health, heart disease, for a year past,
       but like many seamen he thought he could weather
       it, until four weeks since when he was compelled
       to take to his bed when on Lake Huron.
         He grew gradually worse until he reached this
       port, on the return voyage, and then was taken
       to his home to die. No man on the lakes bore a
       better reputation than did JOHN McINTYRE. In his
       dealings with men he was honest and straightfor-
       ward, and in his long life on the lakes no man
       can say that he wronged him. The funeral will
       take place tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from
       his late residence, corner of East Fifth and
       Oneida streets.
