(died 19 Sept. 1962, aged 78 or 79), writer on farm issues. (Dan J. McIntosh) Parents: Donald John McIntosh and his wife Mary Ann McGillis. Dan J. McIntosh, who was born and brought up in Cornwall Township, was a railway worker in British Columbia in his early years, then returned to farming in his home territory in Eastern Ontario about the time of the First World War. It must have been while a farmer at Harrisons Corners, Stormont County, that he served for a time on the Cornwall Township Council. Afterwards, he worked at Courtauld’s in Cornwall for some 20 years from a point in the 1930s till he retired about 10 years before his death. In retirement, he lived in Cornwall. He died at the Hotel Dieu Hospital, Cornwall. (seven children) The burial was in the family plot at the Roman Catholic cemetery at St. Andrew’s West. He was married to Mary Janet McPhail, who predeceased him by about two years. Dan J. McIntosh was the author of a “small book” called Farmer’s Organization and Why (1932). In 1987, when a search was made, no copies of this book could be found in any Canadian library. It is possible no copies at all survive. The views may be the same as those expressed by McIntosh about this time in many letters to the editor he published in the Cornwall Freeholder, Standard, and Standard-Freeholder. McIntosh was not a GC native, but his book, if a copy could be found, would be a valuable document in the economic history of the troubled GC-area farming of his time.
