Dale McIntyre was born in Maitland, MO., Holt County, and lived in Holt county all his life. He was raised on a farm and my first farm memory was of an F-30, Farmall with steel wheels which was used for thrashing in the Maitland area. During World War II Dad thrashed for many farmers around his Dads(Willis's farm) south west of Maitland. Dale purchased a filling station in Maitland when he and Ida Field were first married, but when the depression hit he was unable to make the full monthly payments and lost the station back to the bank. Mom told me, many years later that dad had paid the money owed the bank even though they had taken the gas station.
Dale worked for Allis Chalmers as a mechanic in the late 30's and early 40's he worked all night during the spring months when the need for tractor repair was critical. Later, Dad worked for the county as a county road overseer operating caterpillar tractors pulling road maintainers. These pull type graders were later replaced by the motorized maintainer. Most none state roads were dirt in the 40's. Later he was employed to build King Bill roads which were wider, flatter and graveled.
A Family Four Generation Cradle
Dale McIntyre was born in Maitland, Mo. His dad and mom used a small cradle for each of there children. It is about 4 feet long and 2 feet wide and has round spokes all around. It presently has four legs and stands on the floor but originally it had curved rockers on each end which allowed it to rock from side to side. When dad was a baby he and his brothers and sisters used this crib and later his son Owen used the crib. When each of his grandsons were born, they used the crib and each of their children(great grandchildren) spent part of their life in the same crib. Although dad told me who all had used the crib, I do not remember if his father had slept in it but I think that he had. Each of our (Owen and Sally's) grandchildren will have an opportunity to use the crib for their children.
As a young man Dale spent many hours hunting coon, fox and coyotes. He trapped for furs both before and during World War II. He also bought and sold firs just prior to World War II.
In 1947 the family moved from Mound City, MO., to a 160 acre farm which was farmed on the shares. It was referred to as the Criswell Farm and was located 8 miles south of Mound City just a half mile west of Hi way 59 (275). In addition Dale and Ida owned about 100 acres of farm land about two miles south of the Criswell place on Kemsy Creek. The 100 acres is part of the old home place, owned by grandfather William Joseph Field and remains in the family in 2004.
Dad believed that your handshake was your word and that was all that was needed to live up to that agreement. Dad was basically a quite man, but was a good story teller. Although he only finished the 8th grade, as did many in those years, he was smarter than average(at least I always thought so, with the ability to do many different types of jobs well.
Dale was a member of the Mound City Rural Fire Department and was Fire Chief for several years. He was a member of the Christain Church of Mound City and functioned as a Decon or Elder for a number of years.

Notes by Owen McIntyre
Ida McIntyre was a teacher for 35 years in Northwest Missouri. Ida started teaching in rural schools after she had acquired 60 semester hours of college. She would have to get to the school early enough to build a fire in a wood stove in a one room school with eight grades. Time would have to be divided among each of the grades. In those years a single women could get a job teaching but when she married the schools were reluctant to hire her because she might get pregnant during the school year and leave the school without a teacher for part of the year.
Ida meet her husband, Dale McIntyre while teaching at one of the rural schools(Rising Sun) in Holt Co.. MO. She stayed at Willis and Bertie McIntyre's house which was the house just up the hill east from the school. Ida started teaching after attending Northwest Missouri State Teachers College(name at the time). Each summer, Ida would attend summer school at what was later named Northwest Missouri State College in Maryville, Missouri, working toward her four year teaching degree. Mom was my teacher when I was in the 2nd grade at Crosen and for a short time when I was in the fourth grade in Mound City. In 1951, Ida finished her education, graduating in the same class as her son Owen, who completed his teaching degree with a major in agriculture and a minor in chemistry, the same year.
Mom and Dad put out a garden every year, canning much of the fruits and vegetables grown in the garden. Each year, she would dress 20 to 25 chickens and they would be frozen in water in jars of water. When we lived in Mound City, Mo during the war Dad and Mom always had a big garden and they always had potatoes and plenty of corn, beans and tomatoes. When sugar was rationed as well as tires, gasoline, etc. dad, who had a few hives of bee's, bought more hives from an older gentleman south of town who was ready to sell them. From swarms of bee's which stopped in our yard and the bee's Dad purchased we had 21 hives of bees. Enough to sell honey and provide our family with enough honey to sweeten cereal and much of the food needing sugar for canning.
I remember harvesting swarms of bees that would settle in trees or bushes close to our house. When they stung Dad he just brushed them off, swelling only as much as a mosquito bit but when they stung me, I would swell up like a balloon. Because I couldn't hold the branch with a swarm of bees on it while Dad sawed off the branch, Dad would hold the branch while I would saw it off. He would put a bee hat on me and I would wear a long sleeved shirt to help me from getting stung.
Besides Rising Sun Mom taught in Summit, just north and west of Mound City along the bluff in the direction of Craig, also teaching in Idle Wild South of Fortescue and taught several years in Crozen, six miles east of Mound City, Mo on the road to Maitland. In 1942 or 1943 Ida was employed by the Mound City, Mo., school district and continued to teach in Mound City until the 1960's. Later she taught one or two years in the Craig District before finally retiring with Dad in Mound City. She was always active in Church being associated with the Christain Church's in Mound City. As a young girl she attended Benton School and Benton Church where many of her brothers and sisters are buried.
