"Death of J. McIntyre, Esq.
It is with extreme regret we have to announce the death of our respected Townsman, John McIntyre, Esq., Agent of the Bank of Montreal in this Town, which even took place on Friday last, the 16th inst. Mr. McIntyre was a native of Scotland, emigrated to this country with his parents, when quite young; and was 36 years of age at the time of his death. He took the degree of A.B. at the University of Queen's College, Kingston, and was afterwards appointed Teacher of the Grammar School in this Town, and when that School was united with the Common School he was appointed Principal of the Perth Public School, in which situation he continued till 1853, discharging his duties in a manner highly creditable to himself and satisfactory to the public. In January 1854, he was appointed Agent of the Bank of Montreal in this Town, where his gentlemanly and obliging deportment won for him the confidence and esteem [sic] of all who had business transactions with the Bank, while his business talent and good management soon created a large and flourishing business, and rendered the agency one of the best paying in Upper Canada. In January last, ill health compelled him to resign the duties of his office. He was respected and esteemed by all who knew him, and leaves a large circle of friends and acquaintances to deplore his loss. The funeral took place on Monday last, and was attended by a large and respectable assemblage, and and the shops were closed as the procession passed as a last token of respect to his remains."
