His early life was spent on the farm of his father, who being a poor man, could not give the son even the meager educational advantages to be had at that time in his county, but was obligated to require his assistance to maintain the family. He, however, by persistent effort, obtained a fair knowledge of the common branches, often working for his teacher to defray his expenses. Upon reaching manhood he began working for himself, and not being satisfied with the opportunities for obtaining a home offered by his native State, in 1852 came to Iowa, and first located in Henry County, but in the fall of 1855 removed to Wayne County, and settled where he now lives, in Clay Township. He first built a hewed log house, and went bravely to work to cultivate his farm. As time went on and his capital increased his buildings were improved, and there are now none in the township that surpass them in comfort and convenience. He owns 522 acres of valuable land, which is mostly under cultivation. His stock is of the finest grade, his cattle being of the Jersey breed. Mr. McGuire was married in 1850, to Elizabeth J. Axley, a native of Monroe County, Tennessee, daughter of Rev. James and Cynthia (Earnest) Axley. They have had six children, but three of whom are living -- Frank, Carleton M. and Mary A. The former resides on section 10, Clay Township, and the other two are at home. Carleton is an enterprising, intelligent young man, and a prominent and useful member of society. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, an organization in which he is much interested. Mrs. McGuire's great-grandfather came to the United States when a boy, starting from home in company with his parents and a younger sister. While on the ship his parents died, and the captain intended selling the children to pay their passage, but a wealthy gentleman became interested in them and examining their effects found sufficient to pay their fare. He then took them to Pennsylvania and reared and educated them. The boy after reaching manhood married and moved to Green County, Tennessee, where he reared a large family.
