This gentleman died at his home, in
New Castle county, Delaware, 4 few
miles east of this town, on Wednesday
morning last, about three o'clock, after
in the sixty-third year of his age. He
has been unwell and complaining for
some time past, but few weeks ago new
and alarming symptoms made their APP
pearancs, and he was forced to give up,
having up to this time regularly attend
ed to business. A fatal affection of the
kidneys and urinary organs soon de-
"eloped under which he gradually sank,
dying as above stated. Mr.. McIntire,
though a resident of Delaware was more
widely acquainted and related in this
State than in that. He transacted nearly
all his business in this town, his form
being familiar one upon our streets.
He was universally respected and beloved
here, man of unimpeachable character
and thorough and consistent christian.
He was member Of the Presbyterian
church of this town where he had wor-
SHIPPED from boyhood. He married Miss
Matilda Boulder of Delaware, a sister of
George Boulder, ESD, one Of New Cas-
tie county's leading citizens, who died
in March, 1880, three years ago, leaving
eight children, four sons and four daush-
tiers.
Deceased was son Of the late Andrew
and Mary McIntire, of this county.
Andrew McIntire, was native of New
Castle county, Del, and was for many
years agent, first of the New Castle and
Frenchtown Turnpike Company, at
Frenchtown, and afterwards of the Rail-
road Company, whose tracks ran over
the same route. He gave up the latter
position in 1853, because of the COM
pany's determination to run trains ON
the Sabbath, and removed to his farm
near this town, where he resided up to the
time OF his death. His first wife, whose
maiden name was Shippers, died in 1881
nearly two years before he left French

The family connections of the deceased
