McINTYRE, MICHAEL

Services Held For Much Loved Man

"To divide his life into chapters, under the respective captions of son, husband and father, as well as man and Christian, would unfold a story of a perfect life in its family, social and business environs. There was no short comings in any of them. The duties and obligations imposed upon us all, in our individual stations in life, were cheerfully assumed and faithfully performed by the deceased. From any viewpoint, his life was a pattern to follow. Material success was achieved without loss of the high moral standard required in the typical Catholic. He was a credit to his native land, a welcomed and justly proud member of the country of his adoption and an honored son of the Mother Church. The example that his long eventful life shows us, should act as a talisman to our own individual reports. It should crystallize our thoughts into actions; make of us practical workers, in place of visionary dreamers--so that when the divine summons comes into our own lives, we can leave the same heritage to our family and friends, and hear the message of welcome of 'Well done, Good and Faithful Servant: enter into the kingdom prepared for you."

The speaker was the eloquent priest, Rev. William O'Ryan; the place was St. Leo's Church, and the time and occasion was the Requiem Mass given last Saturday morning in honor of Michael McIntyre, the true churchman and representative citizen. The words of the speaker were seconded by the heart of a the man, for Father O' Ryan had known Mr. McIntyre intimately for many years, and spoke from book and heart, in the words of sympathy and love mentioned above.

The choir of the church was augmented by a number of celebrated soloists, who entered the spirit of the services with sorrow, for the deceased was truly a friend of theirs; one who sympathized with them in any of the failures and who was over-joyed in their victories. The rendition of the musical part of the Mass was a positive evidence of the feeling and regard cherished by the participants. The Requiem Mass by Schmidt was rendered and its interpretation was given by George D. Kempton, Mrs. W. P. Horan, Miss Julia Allen, Mrs. Frederick Johnson, Mr. Charles Nast, Mrs. Salvador Martin and Virginia Allen. The offertory solo, "Not A Sparrow Falleth," was presented by Mrs. S. F. Martin.

The church was crowded with a representative gathering of people, displaying by their presence the esteem and regard in which the deceased was held. City officials rubbed shoulders with representative business men. Poor people exchanged greeting of condolence with prosperous citizens. It was a complete representation of the best people in official, church, club and business circles, thoroughly characteristic of the dead that they had assembled to pay their last respects to. After the high Requiem Mass, the burial occurred at Calvary Cemetery. The display of real sympathy and sorrow was repeated at the grave. The interment at noon Saturday was witnessed by hundreds of old friends and admirers, whose prayers and words of praise were said in silence, but among whom the spirit of the immortal Tom Moore was in evidence in the heart response to world fame lines of the Irish bard:

"The night-dew that falls, though in silence, it weeps.
Shall brighten with verdure the grave where he sleeps.
And the tear that we shed, though in silence it flows.
Shall long keep his memory green in our souls."

Mr. McIntyre lost his life through a railway accident. On Monday evening, September 22nd, while on his way to attend a meeting of the Master Plumbers' Association, he was run into by a Tramway car. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where he died on Wednesday morning, Sept. 24th. Mr. McIntyre leaves two unmarried daughters, Isabelle and Louise, two married daughters, Mrs. P. R. Reardon and Mrs. William H. Hill of Lebanon, Pa., also two sons, Joseph, the Clerk of the Police Department, and Thomas, a plumber.

Michael McIntyre was born in Ballyshannon, Ireland, in January, 1834, and lived there until 16 years of age when he came to America, and settled at Rochester, Mass. While there he learned the plumbing business, and then went to Philadelphia, where he was married. He then went to Cincinnati, where he won much prominence as a member of the City Council. For four terms he represented one of the largest wards of the city and by his unswerving honesty and integrity to his constituents, he was re-elected each time by an increased majority. This was in the early '70's, but the man of enviable record was not forgotten, as the columns of the Cincinnati Enquirer and the other local papers during the past week gave evidence. Mr. McIntyre was amassing, in addition to his public and private fame, a fortune in keeping with the sterling qualities of the man in other ways. He came to Denver 21 years ago and established a plumbing business at 1431 Larimer Street. His record here in all those years was a duplication of that elsewhere.

The love of home and kin, which is ever a part of the Celtic nature, did not interfere with the love of man in general. The qualities that made the dutiful son, faithful husband and exceptionally good father did not run dry in doing justice to the trinity of offices. His hand and pocketbook was ever ready and was quite frequently called into service by the appeals of friends and strangers. Philanthropy--the doing of good to others--was as second nature to him. Church and society were ever honored by his hard efforts in any line of charity. This trait was not a latterday change in his life, but was implanted at his birth and remained in his personality until the last day.

At a special meeting of the Denver Master Plumbers' Association, held last Wednesday evening, the following resolutions and expression of sympathy were adopted: . . .

Transcriber's Note: (In Memorium, was listed and signed.) We believe this was 1901.


MC INTYRE--Mrs. Annie Mc Intyre, wife of M. McIntyre, aged 55 years, died June 22, at her residence, 1314 South Tenth Street. Funeral from residence, Monday June 24, at 9 a.m. St. Leo's Church, 9:30. Cincinnati and Reading, Pa., papers please copy.  (Handwritten date, 1895, source not listed.)

LAND BOARD SUFFERS LOSS OF A VALUED CLERK BY DEATH.

Miss Cora L. McKeehan

Unable to Survive Shock of Long Deferred Operation; Fiance Is Prostrated.

Miss Cora L. McKeehan, for eight years assistant register of the State Land Board, died early yesterday at St. Anthony's Hospital after an operation for a kidney affliction.

The operation which caused Miss McKeehan's death was made necessary about a week ago when she was forced to leave her work. About three years ago the young woman had been to the famous Mayo brothers at Rochester, Minn., for consultation and they at that time refused to undertake the serious operation. They sent her home to recuperate that she might be physically strong enough to go on the operating table, but the manner in which she worked and her application to her place, her friends say, prohibited her ever getting strong enough to successfully rally from the operation that finally became a necessity.

Miss McKeehan was born in Iowa. Her mother, a widow, moved to Canon City and Miss McKeehan graduated from the Canon City High School. Later she entered the Normal school at Greeley and was graduated with honors.

Mrs. McKeehan lives in Boulder and two brothers are in California. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Walley and Rollins' Undertaking Parlors at 1408 Larimer Street.

Miss McKeehan is said to have be for some time engaged to marry Wallace H. Goetzman, who is in the district clerk's office, and her fiance was prostrated over her death.

The Land Board offices will be closed all day and the officials and clerks will attend the funeral in body. The pall bearers will be from the employees in the office. Contributed by: Rita Timm 1895 Denver

WRITES KIN HE FEARS DEATH; IS KILLED UNDER TRAIN

Tells Foster Mother In Denver What To Do “If Anything Should Happen.”
He Disposes of Property.
William Meiser's Father and Sister, Go To Oakland To Bring Body of Conductor Here.

William H. Meiser, age 38, of Denver, who was killed Tuesday night in the Southern Pacific railroad yards at Oakland, Cal., had a premonition of death. A letter written by him on the day before the fatal accident was received yesterday afternoon by his mother-in-law, Mrs. C. A. Young, 4412 Wyanot Street, his foster mother. It makes numerous references to the likelihood of an accident.

Meiser was a conductor on the Union Pacific and since the death of his wife seven years ago, had made his home with Mrs. Young. He left Denver three weeks ago for a visit to the coast, obtaining a leave of absence from his employers. Instead of returning to his Denver employment he secured work as a conductor on the Southern Pacific out of Oakland.


GO TO GET BODY.

“I am 1,500 miles from home,” he wrote. “Really it seems 10,000. Should anything happen to me out here my trunk is in Ogden. I want father to have it and my other personal belongings.”


TELLS WHERE TO FIND TRUNK

Meiser gave the address at which his trunk could be found in Ogden and closed his letter in the strain in which he began, interposing several times, “If something should happen to me.”

John Meiser, father of the dead man, is the oldest engineer in the Burlington service and is well known among railroad men of the city. Besides the father, five sisters living here survive. They are: Mrs. E. Nickerson, Mrs. Charles Savory, Mrs. Wilcoxson, and the Misses Lila and Irene Meiser.

DR. GORDON B. MELDRUM, DENVER WAR HERO, DEAD.

Appendicitis Kills Man Who Made Record for Bravery in Philippines.

Dr. Goldon B. Meldrum, a young Denver man who made a name for himself in his profession and received a gold medal for bravery while serving as an assistant surgeon in the Army of the Phillippines, died on July 7 in Omaha, Neb., from an operation for appendicitis.

Dr. Meldrum came from a martial family, both his father and uncle having been federal officers during the Civil War. At the time of his death he was practicing medicine in Buffalo, Wyo.

Dr. Meldrum was born in La Portee, Colo., June 4, 1874. He was the only son of Major and Mrs. N. H. Meldrum. Major Meldrum is still alive and is commandant of the Soldiers' Home at Buffalo.

While in the Philippines Dr. Meldrum made a record of conspicuous bravery. During an assault in the insurgent general's stronghold near La Paz, P. I., he carried a wounded man from the field under a gattling fire, after his comrades had deserted him. For this Major L. C. Andrews, who witnessed the incident, recommended that Dr. Meldrum be given a gold medal.

Dr. Meldrum was taken ill after a ball in the Buffalo. Owing to the fact that he was abnormal physically, and his appendix was not located where those of other men are located, his case was wrongly diagnosed. He was removed to Omaha and operated upon, but help came too late.

William Moore
(Excerpt)

After spending the night before Christmas in the most cheerful of conversation in anticipation of the morrow, Mrs. William Moore, upon retiring spoke to her husband. When he did not answer she laid her hand upon him, she found that he had died.

The day of glad tidings will be one of gloom, however, in the Moore home. The contrast is made the more keen, by the fact that Moore had enjoyed unusually good health, and when he retired there was no indication of the approach of his death.

Moore was a wholesale lumber dealer with offices at 334 Mack Building. He was wealthy. He has been in business in Denver twenty-two years. He was born in Princeton, N. J., sixty years ago. The widow and one son, Guildford Moore, survive him.
