Chico Record, Friday Morning July 21, 1911, pg 8 col 5: L.A. McIntosh Dies At Hotel In San Francisco. L.A. McIntosh, for years a prominent resident of this city, and a mine owner known all over Northern California, died last evening at 11 o’clock, in his rooms at the Hotel Stewart in San Francisco, after an illness of less than three days’ duration. Word was received in this city at an early hour this morning by relatives, who did not realize the extent of his illness.

The cause of death is believed to be heart failure, from which he had suffered at times, only recently having a severe attack.

Lewis Allen McIntosh was born near Chico October 22, 1856. His early schooling was received here, and when he entered manhood he took a prominent part in local business life. He was interested in mining properties, and was manager and part owner of the Midas and Gladstone mines. He was for a time in partnership with J.W. Roper in the warehouse and wheat business.

He leaves his mother, Mrs. J.W. McIntosh; two sisters, Mrs. F.R. Stansell and Mrs. T.H. Barnard, and a daughter, Mrs. Frank Miller. He was a member o the Chico lodge of Elks and Knights of Pythias, and an exempt member of Chico Engine Company No. 1.

Mr. and Mrs. T.H. Barnard left this morning for San Francisco to arrange for the funeral, which will be held in this city.

Chico Record, Tuesday Morning, July 25, 1911, pg 4 col 4: L.A. McIntosh Is Laid To Rest. L.A. McIntosh, prominent in mining and fraternal circles throughout the northern part of the State, was laid to rest yesterday in the Chico cemetery, with the ritual of the Elks. Friends of Mr. McIntosh were present from many parts of the State at the Majestic theatre Sunday afternoon – boyhood friends and those of his later life – to pay their last tribute, and the coffin was banked with flowers.

The Episcopal service was read by Rev. E.A. Osborn, and the eulogy was delivered by Thomas Dozier, a San Francisco attorney, formerly of Redding. Mr. Dozier dwelt at length on the qualities of kindness and open-heartedness possessed in a large degree by his friend, whom he declared had been a faithful Elk.

The solemn ritual of the order was interspersed by three beautiful selections rendered by Miss Lois Stilson, and a long line of mourners, including delegates from the Native Sons, Elks and Chico fire department, followed the body to the cemetery.

The following were pall bearers: H.W. Crew, M.H. Goe, J.G. Murphy of Chico; W.J. Applegate of St. John; Major Harney of Sacramento; E.C. Young of French Gulch; James Hoyle and Dr. George Grotefend of Redding.
