T. ". MCINTYRE is
CALLED BY DEATH
Early Eagle River Resident
Passes Away After a
Sudden Attack of
Pneumonia

A feeling of deep sadness was felt
in Eagle River yesterday when it was
known that 4. w. Mcintyre had sue
cumbed to an attack of pneumonia
at the hospital of DR.. Diamond at
Frederic, the evening before. About
month ago he accompanied the
nr. home TO Frederic for the purpose
Of having what was thought to be q
minor operation performed Upon
thorough examination other compli-
cations were found and he was adj
viSed that while there was some dan
ger Of fatal results attending an OPP
Grafton at his age, yet it was the only
thing that would prolong his life be-
You'd a few months. With the forth
tude that was one of his great char
acteristics, he told them to go ahead
and the risk would be his. The oper-
alton was successful in itself and he
was recovering rapidly and planning
to return home soon when Wednes-
day acute pneumonia developed and
his children were notified TO come AT
once.

Frank as he was familiarly
known by probably the widest range
of friends and acquaintance than
any other man in Eagle River, was
born in Fond du Lac, on June 4, 1862
When eighteen he married Miss Sarah
Simonds of Winneconne, where they
lived for some years, later moving to
Medford, where he was engaged in
the mercantile business until thirty
five years ago when he came to Eagle
River, then at it's food stage of pros
perity as a pine log and sawmill town.
He built the property now known as
the Hotel Commercial and opened a
store and with the exception of one
year spent at Munising, Mich, had
been a continuous resident here.
On Jan. 6, 1888 Mrs. Mcintyre died.
Later he disposed of his store stock
and built and operated the Grand
View resort until fifteen years ago
when lie opened the Hotel CONNER
eial which from the first was fay-
ored stopping place of the travelling
public during his long connection
with it until the present summer.
In frequently looking over old files
the name of f. w. Mcintyre is often
encountered as a m a n promin-
ent in policlcal and civic circles of
the time and his name appears when
ever movement was on Of any kind
that babe we'll for his town and
townsmen. He served several terms
as chairman of the town when it's
scope comprised the present county,
and was one of those instrumental in
the organization Of Villas county and
was appointed it's first cou nty judge.
1t was as a man of int ense devotion
to his family, of loyalty to his friends
generous and sympathetis to the last
dergree to those in distress and sor
row, genial at all times to his fellow
men, and who bore his own troubles
silently and bravely, that we knew
f. W. Mcintyre best and that is the
memory that will long linger with us.
His youngest son, Ell. B. Mcintyre
died of pneumonia in January, 1919;
the remaining children are Mrs. w.
H. Bonner, Mrs. G. L. Carter, Mrs.
A. K. Everett and E. G. Mcintyre,
all residents of Eagle River to whom
sincere sympathy is extended by
many who feel that they have
also sustained distinct loss of a
true friend, and the town man it
could i'll afford to spare as yet.
