Brief history

Brief History of Patrick and Bridget McIntyre

Patrick McIntyre (c1831-1901) married Bridget Stevens (c1829-1908) on March 3, 1851 in St. Attracta’s Roman Catholic Church, Toulestrane, County Sligo, Ireland. They had eleven known children. The first five were born in Ireland: Edward (1852-1931); Bartholomew (1854-1924); Mary (1856-1934); Dominick (c1860-1932); and Catherine (1861-1914). Patrick, his wife and five children, left Ireland in 1863 sailing on the SS Orient into New York harbor and finally settling in San Francisco, California where the last six children were born: John Dunn (1864-a1908); Elizabeth (1867-1869); William (1869-1879); James (1871-1874); Thomas (c1874-a1931); and Ellen (1879-1963). Patrick and Bridget homesteaded in Oregon in the 1880s. Patrick died in 1901 and Bridget died in 1908. They are both buried in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Portland, Oregon.

Patrick's parents, Edward (c1805/6-1881) and Ann McIntyre (c1803/07-1889), both born in Ireland, also came to the US settling in the San Francisco area. From the records, it appears Edward and Ann came a few years before Patrick.

Bartolo McIntyre death 1935

Bartolo McIntyre, the son of Bartholomew McIntyre and Conception Ramos was born in San Francisco on August 18, 1890.  He married Angelina Uriarte around 1912, very likely in San Salvador.  They had two sons: Bartolo (Barclay) and Stanley, both born in San Salvador in the mid-1910s.

Roberto Morales McIntyre, nephew of Bartolo (1890-1935), told the story of Bartolo committing suicide by jumping in front of a San Francisco commuter train.  This information has not been verified.

I have been unable to locate a death certificate for Bartolo McIntyre (1890-1935) but  recently located a Funeral Record for him that states he died on January 13, 1935 due to "shock and hemorrhage following fracture of skull."  An inquest was pending and an autopsy was conducted.  This would account for why there was not a "normal" death certificate.

Bartolo was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery on January 16, 1935 following a requiem Mass at St. Emydius Church, San Francisco.
