(2 Dec. 1860- 30 Jan. 1950), hauler. Born at St. Elmo, GC. Parents: Daniel David McIntyre and his wife Annie whose pre-marriage surname was also McIntyre. He left home aged 19 to work in the Michigan shanties, then worked in Ontario at Rat Portage (now Kenora) at timber cutting for the CNR. About 1884, he and partners shared a contract for building a two mile line of rail at Kay Falls, near Revelstoke, B. C. At a great symbolic event of Canadian nation-building, the famous driving of the last spike at Craigellachie, B. C., 7 Nov. 1885, to celebrate the completion of the CPR, he was one of the spectators, and he lived to be one of the last surviving of those that were. In the long life that remained to him after the Craigellachie event, he worked in B. C., then in Alaska from 1897, and thereafter in the Yukon, where he resided at Dawson and Mayo and perhaps elsewhere. Choosing, over many years, transportation as the main area of his work, he operated pack-trains in B. C., Alaska and the Yukon. In the Yukon he was involved in ore haulage and mail transportation, and was a construction foreman. He retired at the age of 82. In his later years he had been working as a teamster. He died at Kelowna, B. C. (four children, three surviving him) His wife, to whom he had been married at Nelson, B. C., was Ida Johnson, born in Sweden. She died, aged 79, on 18 Feb. 1950, a few weeks after her husband. Their son, Gordon A. McIntyre, born at Dawson, taught at Mayo, and was a Canadian soldier in Italy and Northwestern Europe in WWII. He held various prominent offices in the Yukon govt., including that of regional director of resources for the Yukon, and he served as MLA 1974-1978 for the Mayo District in the Yukon Territorial Council.
