Mcintosh, James

Mcintosh, James , Farmer, Fortrose. Mr McIntosh was born in 1835, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where he was brought up to country life. He arrived at Auckland, in 1866, by the ship, “Pegasus,” and settled at Edendale, Southland, where he was employed in engine-driving for eighteen months. He afterwards became mail coach driver for Mr Duncan Campbell, and was employed, later on, at the meat-preserving works at Woodlands. In 1873 Mr McIntosh took up 200 acres of land at Fortrose, and has since increased his holding to 472 acres. He was a member of the Fortrose school committee for twenty-five years, and retired in 1902. Mr McIntosh was married, in 1869, to a daughter of the late Mr Archibald Lauder, of Fortrose, and has seven sons and three daughters.
