He was married near Springfield, Ill., to Miss Maggie E. Carson, and lived there until 1886, when the family moved to Kansas, locating first in Barbour County.

He was a man of exceptionally strong personality, and many lives have been made stronger by his uplighting influence in the class rom (sic). As a young man he served a short time in the Civil War before leaving his native state. He was a member of the Masonic lodge and of the A.O.U.W., and was for years an active and efficient worker in the Methodist church. Besides his wife, he leaves five children. They are: Charles E. McGinnis, an attorney in Pueblo, Colo.; Eugene McGinnis, of Ford County, Kansas; Virgil McGinnis, of Pueblo, Colo.; Mrs. Maude Stocking, of Mayfield, Kan.; and Miss Ethel, who lives at home.
