PETER G. MACKINTOSH, D. V. S.

Dr. Peter G. MacKintosh, an able veterinary surgeon practicing in Yakima as
junior partner in the firm of Jones & Mackintosh, was born in Inverness,
Scotland, on the 5th of December, 1888, a son of George and Mary (Smith)
MacKintosh, both of whom have now passed away. In the acquirement of his
education, after concluding the public school course, he attended the Edinburgh
University and the Aberdeen University and completed his preparation for
veterinary practice by study in the McKillip Veterinary College of Chicago,
Illinois, from which he was graduated with the class of 1916. He then located
in Buena Vista county, Iowa, where he remained for a short time but in the same
year removed to the northwest, settling in Yakima. He had spent about six years
in Iowa prior to his graduation from the veterinary college, but the
opportunities of the growing northwest attracted him and upon reaching Yakima he
bought out the interest of Dr. Prior in the firm of Prior & Jones, the firm of
Jones & MacKintosh being thus formed. They have a very extensive and important
practice, both men being splendidly qualified for the duties that devolve upon
them in this connection.

On the 21st of February, 1917, Dr. MacKintosh was married to Miss Jessie Alma
Ballard, a graduate of the University of Nebraska and also of the University of
Washington. Mr. MacKintosh belongs to the Masonic fraternity, having membership
in Universal Lodge, A. F. & A. M., of Marathon, Iowa. He is independent in
politics and that he is interested in the welfare and progress of his city is
manifest in his support of the Commercial Club and his interest in the projects
and plans put forth by that organization for the benefit and upbuilding of the
city. He is a man of many excellent qualities and of progressive spirit, while
his professional success is the direct result of close study and earnest
application.
