McIntire, Edgbert Hill (1846 - 1878)

On Saturday morning last, Aug. 31st, 1878, Edgbert Hill McIntire died at his residence in this place, of wounds received by an explosion of dynamite, mentioned in this paper a month ago, at the age of thirty-two years. Bert, as he was called by everyone, had come to be an old and much esteemed citizen of this place, having spent most of the past thirteen years her. He was quiet, honest and industrious and his word was always as good as his bond. He was married less than a year ago to a very estimable young lady of this county who has the heartfelt sympathy of the community in her young widowhood. His funeral took place last Sunday, and was very largely attended, the church being crowded, mostly by personal friends who will long hold him in kind remembrance.
