A set of parcels of land totaling about 4,000 acres
and referred to as the "Jacksonville Field" was sold by H. Barclay
McIntire to M.W. Saxman for the sum of $200,000. McIntire was a local merchant, coal
speculator and namesake of the town of McIntyre. As indicated on the bottom of this document, the deed to the sale of these lands was first held by the Kent Coal Company and then by the Jefferson and Clearfield Coal and Iron Company. Both of these companies were subsidiaries of the Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal Company. Upon these lands would be built the towns of McIntyre, Aultman, and other nearby coal mining communities.
