'''Mary Elizabeth Sampson MacIntyre''' was a daughter of Dr. [[Homer%20Sampson|Homer Sampson]] and Selenia Grace Byrne. When Mary was a child, she and her family lived in the [[Radiographer%27s%20Cottage|Radiographer's Cottage]] on the property of the [[Trudeau%20Sanatorium|Trudeau Sanatorium]]. Across the narrow drive behind the house there stood in 1993 — but no longer — a dilapidated one-room shingled house which may have been a "shack" (a primitive summer cure facility) at one time, and which — on a tour there — Mary MacIntyre pointed out as her playhouse. A similar "shack" is still standing behind the [[Pomeroy%20Cottage|Pomeroy Cottage]] in 2010 [but it's gone now, in 2020.]

She attended the [[Baldwin%20School|Baldwin School]] in 1924. Later she lived at [[48%20Old%20Military%20Road|48 Old Military Road]] in the village.

Mrs. MacIntyre was employed at [[Trudeau%20Sanatorium|Trudeau Sanatorium]] in 1951 and later at [[Trudeau%20Laboratory|Trudeau Laboratory]] until 1958. In 1958 she was employed by the state Department of Environmental Conservation as a secretary-stenographer, where she worked until her retirement in 1978.
