L. Mcintyre, four miles east of this
city, for the past six months. He
owned and operated a saw mill on
the farm of MIR. Mcintyre up to
few weeks ago. Deceased was In
the 7oth year of his age, and had
resided In this county tor a number
of years, and had operated saw
mills In many parts of 1t. He was
practical mill man,and had wide
acquaintance throughout this coun-
! ty. He was held In high esteem
by III who knew him. His health
had been failing him during the
past year, and especially within the
past few weeks. He had grown
thin In flesh and very weak. The
only relatives that he was known
to have had, reside at Steubenville
and New Lisbon, Ohio, and mes
sage was sent to them last evening
informing them of his sudden de.
mise. The remains have been pre-.
pared for burial, and In all probabili-
ty some of his relatives will arrive
In the city this evening and ar
range for the disposition of the
body.
