The Farmland EnterpriseObituary -- Henry Taylor McIntire was born on a farm three miles west of Winchester, November 18, 1820. When he was six years old, his father removed to the farm at the edge of Maxville, where he resided until his death in 1871, after which Uncle Henry took charge of the home place and lived there the remainder of his long life.

He was married to Mary J. Bull, of Logansport, on the third day of April, 1855. To them were born seven children, two sons and five daughters. One daughter died in infancy, but the other children survive the father. They are Anna M. Hutchens, Sarah B. Clayton, Rachel Clayton, and Sample, Hattie and Guy McIntire. His faithful wife, who has been a true helpmate throught all these years, and ministered to him in these days of sickness, still abides in the flesh. Of his father's family he was the last but one, Martha Botkin, who resides in Farmland.
He joined the Odd Fellows fraternity, at Winchester, about fifty-one years ago. Afterward he brought his membership to Farmland lodge and became a charter member thereof. A few years after this, in the year 1859, he united with the M. E. Church, at Maxville, on probtion. He was never taken into full connection, however.
In his home life, Uncle Henry was always a considerate father and husband. He loved his home, preferring it and the company of his family to the bustle of the outside. In the last conversation the writer had with the deceased, Uncle Henry seemed to have experienced a change of heart. When it took place we are unable to say, but in response to the question, "Are you trusting in the Lord," he said, "Oh yes," and while tears stood in his eyes, and his frame shook with emotion, he repeated the words, "Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus!"
He began failing about two years ago, and for seven or eight weeks past it has been evident that the end was near. In all of this, however, he did not suffer at all, until within about ten days of his death, when he begun to experience very severe pains. He was very weak, except when these paroxysms of pain would come upon him, at which times it became difficult to hold him. He often spoke of how thankful he was that he did not have to suffer as many others did.
When he died, he simply ceased to breathe, and that was all there was of it. There was no labor for breath, nor twitching of the muscles, but he just went to sleep. On Wednesday, February 24, at 2 p. m., he breathed his last, having reached the good age of 83 years, 3 months and 8 days.
