Born at Ridgeway, Ontario on 23 January 1880, son of Robert A. McIntosh and Euretta S. Hardison, he came to Manitoba at the age of 10, graduating from the intermediate school in 1897 and the Winnipeg Collegiate Institute in 1900. He had begun teaching two years earlier to raise money for his education, including a Principalship at Cartwright School (1901-1902) and, in 1903, he entered Wesley College to take science courses. Four years later, he graduated and was appointed Principal of the Minnedosa Collegiate Institute (1907-1912). He later served as Principal of Principal Sparling School (1913-1914), Somerset School (1914-1918), Pinkham School (1919-1926), and Alexandra School (1926-1929). He retired from teaching in 1935.
On 23 December 1909, he married Margaret Taylor (1882-1948, daughter of Thomas D. Taylor, former Mayor of Minnedosa) and they had five children: Russell Taylor McIntosh (1911-?), Eva Euretta McIntosh (1915-?, wife of Francis Robert “Frank” Burgess), Margaret Emma McIntosh (1916-1920), ? McIntosh (?-?, wife of L. L. Scott), and Gordon McIntosh (?-?). He was a member of the IOOF and Methodist Church.
