A native of Indiana, he was born on the 22d of March, 1833. Early in life he went to Decatur County, Iowa, with his parents and there pursued his education. During vacation periods he worked upon the home farm and after his textbooks were put aside took up the occupation of farming as a life work. He engaged in tilling the soil in Iowa until 1862, when he removed westward to Colorado, making his way to Monument, where he took up a homestead and a preemption claim consisting of three hundred and twenty acres of land. During the Indian troubles at Monument in 1868 he was active in fighting and subduing the red men, who went upon the warpath, murdering and pillaging, and burning the homes of many of the settlers. Property was unprotected, all life was unsafe, but men of courageous spirit such as Mr. Guire came valiantly to the front and aided in bringing into subjestion the savages who resented what they considered inroads upon their rights to the country. As a pioneer Mr. Guire contributed a large measure to the development and upbuilding of the district. When these hard conditions of pioneer life were somewhat allayed his efforts and attention were conceptrated on the further development and cultivation of his land and in time he came to be the owner of a highly improved ranch property consisting of two hundred and fifty-nine acres, he having sold twenty-one acres for a reservoir and later disposed of forty acres. Mr. Guire first married Nancy Thorn, who died in Feb 23, 1872, leaving the following children: Robert, who passed away in 1904, Delilah, who married Thomas Graney and died Nov 14, 1895. There was seven children of Mr. Guire and Nancy Ann Thorn. For his second wife Mr. Guire chose Mrs. Elizabeth Frances Claver Wise, the widow of Dr. C.H. Wise, a Civil war veteran, who following the close of hostilitles came to Colorado for the benefit of his health but passed away four years later. Dr. and Mrs. Wise had two children: Edgar Wise, who passed away June 17, 1904: and Zorah, who became the wife of Albert Bassett, of Colorado Springs. The latter had seven children, as follows: Crawford, who is a member of the United States army with the rank of corporal of Company C, Eighth Division, Ammunition Train; Frances; Harry, who died when fifteen yers of age; Clyde; Wilbur; Alice; and Glen. Mr. And Mrs. Guire had two children: Walter, who died in infancy; and Ida Pauline Guire, who was born January 3, 1881. She is a hight school graduate of Castle Rock, Colorado, and is the wife of Charles Garrett, a rancher living near Monument. They have become the parents of six sons and a daughter: Frances, Harold Paul, Howard, David, Raymond and Ralph. The last named died infancy. In his political views Mr. Guire was a democrat. His religious faith was that of the Dunkard church and fraternally he was connected with the Masons, belonging to the lodge at Colorado Springs. His worth as a man and citizen was widely acknowledged. He had many sterling traits of character, among which was his loyalty in friendship and his devotion to the welfare and happiness of his family. In business affairs he was always thoroughly reliable as well as progressive and his enterprise carried him into important relations with the agricultural development of his section of the state. As one of the pioneers he contributed much to advancement and improvement here and aided in laying broad and deep the foundation upon which has been built the present properity of the district.
