General Notes: Husband - Harry Willard McIntosh


He was four years of age when his parents removed to Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, and there he acquired his education. Upon their return to Pittsburgh, in 1885, he entered the preparatory department of the Western University of Pennsylvania, graduating therefrom in the spring of 1890, with the degree of Ph. D. In September of that year he entered on a law course in Yale College, graduating from that institution in the spring of 1892, with the degree of LL. B. By reason of his taking the professional course and receiving his degree of LL. B. the University of Western Pennsylvania conferred on him the degree of Ph. M. Upon his return from Yale College he entered the law office of J. A. Langfitt, and in December, 1892, was admitted to the practice in the Pennsylvania courts. In 1900 he formed a partnership with Mr. Langfitt, the firm being Langfitt & McIntosh, which came to be known as one of the strongest law firms in the Allegheny county courts. Mr. McIntosh devoted much of his time to municipal law, in which he gained an enviable reputation. He resided in Wilkinsburg, and served two terms on the borough council. Beginning in 1900 he acted in the capacity of counsel for the borough of Wilkinsburg. For some years he was the attorney for the Dairy and Food Commissioners of Pennsylvania. Among his many business interests may be mentioned that he was a director in two of the strongest financial institutions of the place\emdash the First National Bank and the Wilkinsburg Real Estate and Trust Company.
Mr. McIntosh was connected with the following lodges and societies: Knights of Pythias, Royal Arcanum, Beta Lodge, No. 647, Free and Accepted Masons, being the first worshipful master of his lodge. He was also a member of the Wilkinsburg Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Tancred Commandery, No. 48, Knights Templar; Pittsburg Consistory, Scottish Rites, and Syria Temple of Mystic Shriners. He was major of the Americus Republican Club, in all of which orders and societies he was a potent factor.
