| <tab>It was reported in 1908 that D. A. and James A. McIntosh, formerly of St. Andrew’s, had received $50 million on the largest contract ever let to a single firm in the United States. (20 Years Ago column, //Cornwall Freeholder// 15 March 1928 ) Among the works for which the firm, called McIntosh Bros., was noted, were the Schlesinger ore docks, at Escanaba, Mich. The two McIntoshes were Milwaukee residents from 1882. An obituary of the brother James says, “While constructing in Wisconsin they maintained large stables at Cedarburg [Wisc.], which housed hundreds of head of horses and mules, and sheds which contained a vast amount of railroad paraphernalia.” The brothers, by the same source, amassed “what is said to be an immense fortune,” and “invested principally in railroad holdings.” Their construction work was probably limited fairly closely to that related to railways. See also the entry for John Allen McDougall for their business relationship to the McDougall brothers, also distinguished railway contractors from the GC area. | <tab>It was reported in 1908 that D.
