THOMAS B. McINTOSH
This name is well known throughout the Lodi section of San Joaquin County, for here Thomas B. McIntosh has passed his entire life, and here his parents lived since pioneer days of California. He was born in Lodi, September 6, 1870, a son of E.J. McIntosh and his wife, Malancy (Miner) McIntosh, pioneers of the county who engaged in farming pursuits in the Lafayette school district of San Joaquin County. In this district school Thomas B. began his education and later he took a course in the Ramsey & Trask Business College in Stockton. At the age of fifteen years he was thrown on his own resources and found work on various ranches throughout the district. He was industrious and resolute,, and these qualities enabled him to overcome the difficulties and obstacles in his path, and soon he rented 160 acres, known as the Earl ranch, which he conducted for a number of years, working his way steadily to the plane of affluence.
On October 2, 1894, in Stockton, Mr. McIntosh was united in marriage with Mrs. Katherine (McPherson) Alamado, a widow and the mother of one daughter, Bertha Alamado, now Mrs. Ralph Clark, who now resides on the seventeen-acre ranch Mr. McIntosh formerly owned. Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh are the parents of one daughter, Ila. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh bought seventeen acres on the Sargent Road adding to it until they had 130 acres. He has set thirty acres to vineyard and 100 acres to almonds. Eight years ago, Mr. McIntosh moved to Lodi from their ranch home and for three and a half years was employed by the Union Oil Company, and then worked three years for the Shell Oil Company. Mr. McIntosh has recently completed a fine, modern home at 118 West Oak Street and a modern apartment house located on the corner of Oak and Church streets, which he completed in 1922; this apartment house consists of ten modern apartments. In politics, Mr. McIntosh is a Republican and fraternally is affiliated with the Woodbridge lodge of Masons and with his wife and daughter is a member of the Woodbridge Eastern Star Chapter.
