They applied for a marriage license on 23 Jan 1913 in Wasco County, Oregon, with permission to marry granted by Paul's mother Kate, as Paul was under 21 years of age. They later divorced on 8 November 1924 in Twin Falls, Idaho. Their two children pictured with them are Catherine Kreft Call (1915-2003) and Paul Frederick Kreft (1918-1967).

Unknown Woman
Sal Bigone has a treasure trove of photos of the McIntyre family. He has graciously shared many of them and they appear in other posts in this blog. But this one, of the beautiful woman in a hat, has eluded him and his cousins. Does anyone know who she might be?
Photo source: Sal Bigone, May 24, 2020
It is a possibility she is the wife of one of Patrick McIntyre's children.
The photo was taken at Bushnelf studios, most likely in San Francisco, California. Date unknown. There is no writing on the reverse side.

Richard M. McIntyre 1943-2019 Remembered
In an effort to learn more about his family, Richard did an autosomal DNA testing at Ancestry.com. In the fall of 2018, Sal Bigone, who also had tested at Ancestry.com, noticed the rather close McIntyre match in his results and contacted Richard. Sal said they had a wonderful one hour telephone conversation. Sal then shared this information with the cousins. Over the next several months Richard communicated via telephone and email with a number of the cousins, sharing his genealogical information with many of us. Elaine added this information to her database and for those deceased individuals in Richard's family, that information now appears on www.McIntyreGenealogy.com.
Richard knew the name, Bartholomew McIntyre, as his grandfather, but didn't know the name of his grandmother. Through information received from Marina, it was known that Richard's father, Anthony, was the child of Bartholomew McIntyre (1854-1924) and Paula Calderone (1887-?). This was shared with Richard.
Richard kindly sent photos of himself to Elaine who, at Richard's request, scanned them and sent the images to a number of the cousins. Since Richard picked out these photos as representative of his life, we know they meant a lot to him. Here are a couple of the pictures he sent.
Richard also took a 37 marker Y-DNA test for Elaine on FamilyTreeDNA in the spring of 2019. When the results came back, he and Elaine's paternal uncle, Thomas McIntyre, were a match, with only a one marker difference. Since then, Elaine's brother Larry, has taken the 111Y-DNA test at FamilyTreeDNA and he too matches Richard at a one marker difference. These tests prove Richard's McIntyre family which can be traced up through Edward McIntyre (c1806-1881), the father of Patrick McIntyre, and Michael McIntyre (c1805-1891), Elaine's 2nd great grandfather, were most likely brothers. If this is true, then we all share the common ancestry of the parents of Edward and Michael. Thank you Richard for "tying" our families together with your DNA.
Richard Martin McIntyre, the son of Anthony Patrick McIntyre (1909-1986) and Dorothy Nell Stein (1917-2000), was born in San Mateo County, California on October 6, 1943. He married Alta Lee Neal and they had one son. He lived his final years in Las Vegas, Nevada where he died on September 16, 2019. RIP.

Maria McIntire Ruiz is Remembered

| Maria McIntire and Alfredo Ruiz Married October 28, 1905 Photo courtesy: Sal Bigone |
Maria (Mary Anne) McIntire Ruiz (1883-1952), daughter of Bartolo McIntire (1854-1924) and Concepcion Ramos (b1863-1913), is remembered fondly by her grand niece, Joanie Hamilton Zandona.
She shares:
"My mother was extremely close to Maria and loved her deeply. She was the oldest of the sisters and the matriarch of the family. This is the story that my mother always told me.
"Maria came to my mother's (Betty Jane Artiga Hamilton 1923-2013) house on 2214 Clay Street and told her that she had come to say goodbye because this would be the last time that they would see each other because she was going to die. My mother remembered it as being very strange. A week later, Maria died. My mother took her death very hard.
"The other strange story that my mother always used to tell me was that Maria's daughter, Mary Angela, was very beautiful and one day (I don't remember why) Mary Angela got angry at Maria, went to bed and never got out of the bed making Maria wait on her hand and foot until she died. The day Maria died, Mary Angela got out of her bed and, from that time forward, was no longer bed ridden. Strange. My mother took me to Sir Francis Woods in SF to see where they lived. I took pictures, which I still have."
Thank you Joanie for sharing the two stories about your great aunt, Maria McIntire Ruiz.
RUIZ - June 23, 1952, Mary Anne, beloved wife of the late Alfred Ruiz, dearly beloved mother of Mary Angela Ruiz, loving sister of Mrs. Frances Campos, Mrs. Mercedes Artiga and Mrs. Elena Morales, loving sister-in-law of Gustavo A. Ruiz.

Mercedes McIntyre Artiga and Ricardo Ayala Artiga Naturalization Papers
Mercedes McIntyre Artiga (1896-1978) although born in San Salvador, was an American citizen due to her father, Bartholomew McIntyre (1854-1924) becoming an American citizen when his father, Patrick (c1831-1901) was naturalized in 1869 in San Francisco, California. Although we have Patrick's naturalization date on several documents, due to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, it is believed the actual naturalization records have been lost.
Despite Mercedes being an American citizen, the rules at the time of her marriage in 1921 to Ricardo Ayala Artiga (1894-1987) stated that if an American marries an alien, they lose their American citizenship.
So, it became necessary for Mercedes to "apply" to be naturalized since she had "lost" her US citizenship at the time of her marriage. To enlarge the images below, click once on it.

From the document above you can see Mercedes took the oath of allegiance and was sworn in as an American citizen on November 10, 1941.
Her husband, Ricardo (Richard) Ayala Artiga, also petitioned for naturalization in or around 1939. He also was granted American citizenship on June 29, 1942.
Thank you Joanie Zandona for providing these documents.

Bartholomew/Bartolo (1854-1924)
MOURNING NOTE -
Don Bartolo Mc Intire
We were already at the time of printing press when we received the sad news of the decease in this capital city of Don Bartolo McIntire, a North American who lived in El Salvador, and who was linked to various honorable households in the country, and who are today in mourning.
The life journey of this foreigner was well accomplished, a man who seemed to have come to show our youth, by eloquent example, how to make use of time in a practical manner, how personal energy stamped with constant work translates into material assets that provide spiritual satisfaction; with what means an unknown man opens roads and makes a way, dominating the environment and earning respect and consideration. That is how, don Bartolo, who first and foremost was a man in a way that the honorable concept of being a man signifies, it can be said that he said farewell to life peacefully, because he knew how to fill every minute of his existence with intense and rewarding labor.
He was, here, the organizer of Taller Mercedes (Iron Workshop). In California he had his leg cut; and he, who was an excellent mechanic, built an artificial limb for himself that was so perfect, that the defect was hardly noticed.
He fathered a numerous family, and leaves them with the memory of a clean and respected name.
We send our expressions of condolence to the family of the estimable deceased.

An Obituary (Contributed)
Mrs. Kate Kreft (nee McIntyre) was born in county Sligo, Ireland on March 17, 1862. While she was still a baby her parents emigrated to America, arriving in San Francisco early in 1864. In 1877 Miss McIntyre was married in San Francisco to Paul L. Kreft. Of eight children, the issue of this union, four survive their mother. They are Mrs. Henrietta Burchtorf and Mrs. William Wells of this city, Mrs. James Keane of Portland and Paul L. Kreft of Pendleton.
Mr & Mrs. Kreft came to Oregon in the year 1879, residing for a short time on a ranch, the property of the McIntyre family. In 1880 they came to The Dalles where Mr. Kreft engaged in business until a serious illness forced him to retire. He lingered on in an invalid condition for over a year, and passed away on July 23, 1900.
Of Mrs. Kreft's faithfulness and loyalty as a wife and mother; her devotion to Mr. Kreft during his last illness when for many months she never left his bedside; of the energy and industry she displayed in providing and caring for her family, it is needless to write, as all the persons concerned are well acquainted with the facts.
It is chiefly an account of her indomitable courage, patience and cheerfulness in the face of veritable mountains of sorrows and misfortune that her memory will be cherished by her numerous friends and acquaintances. This is not the place in which to recount the many vicissitudes through which Mrs. Kreft and her family passed. Suffice it to say that seldom does it fall to the lot of one mother or one family to be visited as they were. But, through all, Mrs. Kreft maintained a brave and cheery disposition, with which was combined Christian charity, and a generosity that was almost a fault - every ready to nurse the sick, aid the needy, console the unfortunate.
Surely, if charity be the greatest virtue, this sweet and noble soul has earned and received the welcome greeting of its maker - "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; enter into the joy of thy Lord."

In "Eran Mares los Cañales" (the sugar cane fields were like a sea) - History of Sugar in El Salvador, Patricia Morales Tijerino found a passage which also talks about Bartolo McIntire and his participation in the development of El Salvador's economy. Sections from the book are shown below followed by Patricia's translation of the excerpt. Thank you Patricia for sharing this. (Book cover shown to the right.)
Starting from "La Fundición Mercedes: "The direction of the Fundición Mercedes (iron foundry) was commissioned to the US national Bartolo McEntire, it was born with the priority of meeting the mechanical needs of the family-owned sugar cane mills, without disregarding the provision of steel and metallic services and of general mechanics to other persons or insitutions not only from the country, but from the entire Central American region. Equipped with huge furnaces to smelt metals, lathes and metal mechanic benches, the company had a series of mishaps in its first decades, including a major fire that forced its entire reconstruction in December 1911, a remodellation that included purchasing new equipment and building an adjoining area destined for social affairs."
