Grace Louise Peacock was the fourth daughter of John Peacock and Mary Ellen Oliver. She was born January 16th, 1895 and was named after her mother's youngest sister who had died in 1889 at nine years of age. The photo to the left shows Grace at about 11 in 1906. She grew up on the farm on the ninth concession of Macaulay Township around Falkenburg. Family history records that Dan McIntyre was also in this photo (see Dec 7, 2008 post), a childhood friend of the younger Peacock children. He lived with a Moore family at Falkenburg as a boy.
In 1911, Grace is still with her parents at about 16 years of age. Grace, her older brother, Joe, and younger sister, Kit, are the three children still at home.1911 Census - Macaulay Township

In 1911, when Grace's older brother, John, was living at 4 Shier Avenue in Bracebridge and working as a 'foreman' perhaps at the lumber mill, a young Daniel McIntyre was a labourer and living at Robert Walsh's boarding house next door:

In 1911, there were McIntyres living in Stephenson and Medora Townships and a young Charles living in Bracebridge, but no connection has been made between Daniel and them to date.
Grace Louise Peacock and Daniel McIntyre were married December
4, 1912 in Macaulay by Joseph Waring. This was probably at the little
Anglican Church close to the Falkenburg Union Cemetery. The
witnesses were Emma Louise Perkins of Falkenburg and Joseph
Oliver Peacock of Falkenburg, Grace's brother. Both bride and groom
were shown as belonging to the English Church.
In applying for the marriage licence, Daniel stated that he had lived for 19 years in Macaulay (perhaps this means Canada) which is roughly what was stated in the 1911 census, namely that he had come to Canada in 1892 (at about 4 years). In addition, the marriage record states that Daniel was born in Forres, which is in Morayshire, Scotland.
Daniel and Grace McIntyre - date and place unknown. (S.M.)
In 1935, when Grace's mother died in Orilla where she had lived for 19 years, three of Mary Ellen's children were also Orillia residents -Violet Peacock, Mrs. Sax Moore; Joseph Peacock; and Grace, Mrs. Daniel McIntyre.
Grace died March 28, 1949. Daniel married Violet Ward, a widow in 1950. He died April 21, 1965. Both Daniel and Grace are buried in St. James Cemetery, Orillia, Ontario.
