About
James Francis McIntyre was born on June 25, 1886 in New York. He died on Jul 16, 1979 (age 93). He was a prelate of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States and served as the Archbishop of Los Angeles from 1948 to 1970.
During his teenage years, he worked as a runner on the New York Stock Exchange for the brokerage firm of H.L. Horton & Co. However, he turned down the opportunity to work there full time in order to enter the Priesthood. It was a common criticism levelled at him that he did not support the civil rights struggle strongly enough. His mother worked in the sewing industry.
