History of Jackson County, James W. Ellis, 1910.

William A. Maginnis came to Bellevue in 1851. He was prosecuting attorney from 1853 to 1855, and in 1875 was elected State Senator. His genial nature and infectious laugh were almost irresistible. His good nature led him into financial difficulties, and the foundation of a comfortable fortune was exhausted in paying other people's debts. He was a democrat in the early years, but in his latter days became a prohibitionist of the most pronounced type.
