Bio

Guy Densel McGuire was born on December 27, 1887, in Grainger County, Tennessee, to Edward Michael and Carrie A (Lacy) McGuire. He had 2 brothers and a sister. The post office shown, May Spring, was about 30 miles north of Pigeon Forge. The area now appears to be underwater, surrounded by the Cherokee Reservoir. When he was 2 years old, his McGuire grandparents and their entire family joined a wagon train and moved from Tennessee to Missouri. His Lacy grandparents may have joined, also. While most of the McGuires settled in Wright County, Guy's family continued on to Cass County and settled near the town of Everett. Guy's two brothers, Robert and Hugh, were born there. After Hugh was born, their mother died when Guy was 4 or 5; his father remarried in 1895. Then when Guy was 13, his father died. His stepmother, Condice, remarried and took little sister Lucy Opal McGuire with her to Kansas. Guy and his brothers were raised by their mother's family. His younger brothers went to Illinois to help with the farm work, but Guy remained in Cass County, moving north to Kansas City to live with his mother's sisters Mayme Fisher and Margaret Lacy. There he found work...and love. He was hired by the railroad and worked his way up from fireman to locomotive engineer. Guy married Nola Mae Pence on June 18, 1913, in Kansas City, Missouri. They raised their two children there. In the 1950s, Guy and Nola moved to California, where they spent their remaining years. Nola died in 1960. Guy died on February 13, 1967, in Anaheim, California, at the age of 79, and was buried beside his wife in Fairhaven Memorial Park in Santa Ana, California.
