**********************************************************************

Andrew J. McIntosh, farmer and stock raiser of Franklin County, Mo., 
his native county, was born December 13, 1843 and is the fourth of the
six children of Joshua and Martha (Davis) McIntosh, both natives of 
Kentucky, who immigrated to Missouri in 1835, settled in Franklin, and
engaged in farming and mining.  At the earliest recollection of our 
subject there were no schools or churches in their immediate neighbor-
hood, the people were generally poor, had poor markets for their pro-
duce, and the mining interest brought nearly all the money that was in
circulation in the country, the people depending on the lead ore for
their coffee, etc.  Andrew J. McIntosh followed mining from boyhood 
until his marriage to Melvina, daughter of Benjamin Enloe, and then
settled on a farm of 135 acres, which was the property of his wife. By
this union there were two children, one son and one daughter: Charles,
who died in early childhood, and Bell, who is now the wife of William
Jackson, a farmer of Washington County, Mo.  In April, 1874 Mrs. Mc-
Intosh departed this life, and in March, 1875, Mr. McIntosh was married
to Catherine, daughter of Smith Jackson.  By the second marriage six
children were born, three of whom are living: Phoebe, Albert and Alice;
those deceased are Laura, Effie and Maude.  Mr. McIntosh, as the re-
sult of careful management and industry, now owns about 700 acres of
land, with some 200 head of cattle, horses, hogs, etc.  During the late
war he served only in the Home Guards in the State Militia, and since
the war has been a quiet citizen, never aspiring to political office,
but content to look after the interests of his farm and stock.  He is a
Master Mason of Sullivan Lodge, and his political preferences are Demo-
cratic.  His wife is a member of the Baptist Church.
