J. Marvin McGuire of Rich-

Hunt County, is retiring after 28
years of service as baliff for the
Dallas County Grand Jury. Mc-
Guire has worked with Judge J.
Henry King, judge of Criminal
District Court No. 2 beginning
with the election cf the judge in
1937.
In a surprise ceremony on Fri- TAYLOR
day, December 18, planned and VISITS DAUGHTER
executed by Warren J. Harding, (
Dallas County treasurer and
president of the National Asso-
ciation of County
in watching grand juries at work, ]
that every thing has two sides, 1
sometimes three.” j
The respected baliff noted that
is spending the week with his one of the great improvements
he has seen in the last 28 years ’
has been in the written reports •
police make now about crime. '
Proper reports, called “beef
sheets,” have resulted in true bills
in about 60 percent of cases, the
reverse custcm in 1937.”
James Marvin McGuire, 76, son '
of pioneer parents, the late Mr.
and Mrs. W. J. McGuire, grew
up on the family farm west of
Celeste, a farm home still occupi-
ed by a younger brother, C. C.
McGuire.
A graduate of Celeste school
in 1907 Marvin taught school fori
a number of years on a certifi-
cate secured by taking state ex-
aminations. His first school was
Rainbow, a school midway be-
tween Celeste and Hickory Creek.
After a year’s teaching at Salem
and a year’s attendance at South
Western University, Georgetown.
McGuire taught in the upper
grammar grades in Celeste school,
then tried a traveling job for a
while. Other schools were Ma-
honey in Hopkins County, Kings-
ton, this county, Van Alstyne,
Grayson County and ended his
teaching career in Richardson.
A pupil in Richardson, Albert
Click, now bf Greenville is a re-
tired army chaplain and recently
retired from active ministry as
pastor of Celeste Methodist
Church for eleven years. Mrs.
George McGee, Celeste, was a
pupil of Marvin’s at Kingston.
McGuire farmed at Lane, west
cf Celeste, for a period and com-
pleted a school term at Pike in
1918 moving to Richardson late
that year. In 1922 he and Rita
Mae Campbell of Richardson were
married and they engaged in
farming there until his work in
court circles began in 1937.
Activities of the couple in Rich-
ardson center in the work of the
First Methodist Church in their
home town, in some civic organi-
zations and Mrs. McGuire’s as-
sociation with a real estate com-
pany.
Marvin and Rita McGuire have
one daughter, Marilyn, Mrs. Rob-
ert Keagy. The Keagys live in
Pampa, Texas and have four chil-
dren, the McGuire grandchildren
who are too far away for frequent
visits but, “Use the telephone ex-
tensively to keep grandparents in
touch” according to Marvin.
An unusual angle on his new
status in life was stated as Mc-
Guire visited his sister, Mrs. Jess
Gibson, in Celeste. He said he now
belonged to the Honey Dew Club.
Explained, it is, “Honey do this,
Honey do that.”
The couple live at 523 East
Spring Valley in Richardson.
