L. H. Mc INTOSH
"L. H. McIntosh resides in the
extreme northeast part of the county, five miles from St. John.
He was born in Bath County, Kentucky, in the year 1837, and was
there engaged in farming till 1852, when he came to Colusa County
and worked for his brother seven years. He afterwards leased
land from him for several years, and from this small beginning
has grown to be one of the most substantial farmers in the county.
In 1872 he married Miss Julia E. Smith, a native of Lisle Township,
near Chicago, Illinois, by whom he has an interesting family.
His farm consists of three thousand acres of land, two-thirds
of which are usually sown to wheat. His residence is large and
built with a view to comfort. From this place a most enjoyable
view of Mount Shasta can be had, though distant one hundred and
fifty miles."
