Daniel E. Maguire, since 1903 engaged in the general practice of law in Dubuque, with offices at 302 Security building, was born at East Dubuque, Illinois, July 31, 1877. He was reared there and in 1896 was graduated from the Dubuque High School. For about five years thereafter he remained at home, teaching for two years in the neighboring schools and assisting his father on the farm and in the store in East Dubuque. Having decided to make the study and practice of law his life's work, Mr. Maguire, in 1899, entered the legal department of the Iowa State University, and was duly graduated therefrom in 1903 with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He immediately returned to Dubuque and embarked in the general practice of his profession, at which he has since successfully continued. He is a member of the local order of Eagles, the Modern Woodmen of America, the Knights of Columbus and St. Patrick's
Roman Catholic Church. On June 24, 1908, at Chicago, Mr. Maguire was united in marriage with Miss Alice G. Quinlan, daughter of John and Catherine Quinlan, the former a conductor on the Illinois Central railroad. Mr. and Mrs. Maguire reside at 427 South Alpine street, Dubuque.
