Seaforth Women's Institute Records . Pioneer History JOHN McINTOSH FARM (23rd in Series) Joon McIntosh was born in Black- -water, Scotland, in the year:1818. He left Scotland in the year 1836, along with two brothers. One brother, Jim, a tailor .by profession, settled in Lon - .don; the other one went to the Unit- ed+d States. The one whom we are most interested' in, John, settled on what has always• been known as the McIntosh homestead, on the Mill Road; Lot 31; Concession6, in the Township of Tuckersmith. His wife, Jane Cameron, born in Forfarshire Parish, Blyth, in the year 1819, came to Canada with her brother, John Cameron, in 1838. a. -'" In 1843 she was married to John McIntosh and they established their 'home on the Mill Road farm, in what was then' pratica i i al bush. The c 1 y first year was hard going..., -The oxen, in the winter time, ate the small twigs off the elm trees as they were cut Blown. The first log house was built where the oak tree now stands in the lane. Another log house was built Pater on, with a cellar under it, fine house now standing was built by John Mclntosh's youngest soar, James, at about 1875. John McIntosh had five Children: John, who moved . to Redwood Falls, Minnesota; William;, father of John McIntosh, now living in Seaforth; Jane, who 'married- a Mr. Alexander arid moved to the States; Janet, Who died at 16 years of age, and Jim, who stayed on the home farm with 'his. another. In 1856 he redei'ved the deed of his farm from the Canada, Com- Pany.'+ In 1857, in the month of June,. when his oldest son was 13 years old, John Molntosh died .with, we believe, an. attack of appendicitis, leaving his •v;ife to cope with the hardships of raising her 'family in a strange and lonely country.' However, with'•, good health, a deep'faith••in God, and the wi 1 to succeed, she raised her famely and was able to help establish them all in homes of their own before she died on August 2; 19.02. James, the youngest son, teek over the farm, 'and on September 8 1902, he was married to Mary Jane McCloy, of Egmondville, by the Rev. Sawyer. T'o this union were born three .sons, Jchn, who lives in Toronto; James, a•farmer on the second•concession of Tuckersmith, and Dave, who lived on the home farm. On February 22,. 1922, James McTntosh died, leaving his wife to carry 'on the fain, till her son, Dave, took it over in 1933 when he was married. The three sons were married in the same year: The eld- est, John,, to Anna Haugh, of Bruce - field, He has three children: .tean, ,Margaret and'.David; James, to Vero Crazier. He has. two Children: Jim and Mary, Dave to Lillian Richard- son, of Egn'tondVille, On September 23, 1940. tragedy again- struck the- home farm on the Mill Road: Dave, who was operating a threshing machine on a neighbor's farm, fell, fracturing his. skull. He never regained consciousness, and on the evening- of Septetrlber 23 died, leaving his 'young wife with two esotis, Ronald 4, and Eric, 2 years,at age. They, are still residing on the -McIntosh homestead , on the Mill Road. . While Fifteen New Housing Units Under . Construc- tion or Finished, Short- age of ;Accommodation Still Exists. OTHER CONSTRUCTION - ALSO UNDER. WAY. With eleven houses under construc- tion onstructtion at, the present time, Seaforth Is in the midst of its biggest building. boom In many years. In addition to the individual houses under con- struction, alterations to existing dwel- lings have, in a number of cases, made possible additional apartments. As a `result of the building activity, there will be available 'soon ,a total of at• least fifteen new housing. units. While this is two less than' the number of housing units made avail- able last year, the number of indi- vidual residences is greatly increas- ed. It is probably more than forty years since more than two or three residences were erected in the town in one year.
