William McIntire was born in Schuyler Co. Ill., Dec 18, 1865, he was united in
marriage to Mary Ellen Younker. To this union were born 3 children, Mrs. Ida
Smith, Mrs. Mary Cassaday and Larkin McIntire. In
November 1870 his wife died. On December
14, 1871 he was united in marriage to Rachel Lalicker.
In his departure, he leaves to mourn his death, his devoted wife, and three
children, Twenty-two Grandchildren and nineteen Great Grandchildren, besides
a host of friends.
In March 1874 he made a Profession of Faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ and united with the Flag Springs Baptist church of which he
remained a faithful member and Deacon until his death. August 2, 1861 he enlisted in Company A, 10th
regiment Missouri Infantry Volunteers. He was honorably discharged, August 24, 1864, having served
three years faithfully as a private. During his lifetime he resided on the
same farm near Flag Springs, Mo.
for more than 50 years. During all this time his life has been one beyond
reproach. The welfare of his family was first in his mind. A kind husband, a
loving father, and a good neighbor. He was honest, industrious and an upright
man. His character and life has been such that in after years his family will
rise up and call blessed, to know him is to love him. During his last illness
which covered a period of more than three years, he bore his affliction very
patiently. All that loving hands could do was done to relieve his suffering,
but to no avail. On Saturday morning he fell peacefully asleep. His wife and
three children were at his bedside in his last hours. On Monday afternoon, at
2:30 pm o'clock, the funeral
services were conducted at the Whitesville Masonic Fraternity, and the
remains were laid to rest in the Whitesville
Cemetery.

It is with infinite sadness that we chronicle the death of
one of Andrew counties [sic] pioneer citizens, a man loved and respected by
all who knew him and whose name
has always been synonomous [sic] of uprightness.
T. K. Smith, affectionately known to old and young as
Uncle Tom, quietly and peacefully passed over the river, Wednesday night,
November 26th.
The night before about 8:30
p.m. apparently in usual health he stepped out on the porch and a
few moments later a member of the family heard him groaning. A search was
instituted and it was found that he had fallen from the porch into the open cellarway. He was
carried into the house and although unconscious there was only a slight wound
on his head and it was not thought that he was so very badly injured. Dr. Peter was called and Doctor
Houston. They decided that Uncle Tom
had suffered an apoplectic stroke and
probably fell from the porch into
the cellar. He never regained
consciousness and peacefully passed away.
To the bereaved relatives we extend our heartfelt
sympathy. Uncle Tom has gone to join
his loved companion who preceded him
to the better land only a few months ago.-- Whitesville Banner
