Biographical history
Alexander Joseph Owen Maguire was born in June 1855, the son of John and Margaret Maguire. He married Isabella Hadley in 1882, the daughter of J.W. Hadley, a merchant of dry goods, groceries and fishing supplies in Guysborough, Guysborough County, NS. On 22 March 1883, Maguire bought J.W. Hadley's merchant business from Levi Hart for $1200. The business was subsequently assigned to George Forsyth in 1885, and subsequently assigned to William Maguire, Alexander's brother, on 17 April 1886. At the time of his death, Maguire was the High Sheriff of the County of Guysborough, NS. He died in Guysborough on 17 February 1929.
