He died only a few moments after bidding his classes goodbye for the Christmas Holidays. It has been truly said, He gained his fame by minding his own business. He was reliable and would help anyone he could advance along the rocky road to knowledge. Because of these qualities, his students had only the greatest of admiration for him.

Mr. McIntosh came to Sharptown from Mansfield, Pennsylvania, 32 years ago. For nearly 10 years he taught in the Sharptown High School.
