JOHN B. MCNAMARA, attorney-at-law, and member of the bar of McLennan County, has engaged in the practice of law in the city of Waco for more than two decades, securing and maintaining therein a prominent position, and the high esteem of the bench and bar. Mr. McNamara has his office in the Provident Building, and engages in a practice of a general nature, handling both civil and criminal cases, his legal work carrying him into all courts. His connection with a number of prominent cases added greatly to his reputation as a lawyer, and he is well known throughout Central Texas. At the time of his admission to the bar, in December, 1901, Mr. McNamara opened his office in Waco, and the success with which he handled his early cases soon won him the appointment of assistant county attorney, under O. H. Cross, which he held for a period of four years.
He was later assistant county attorney, under Pat Neff, and was Mr. Neff's successor to the office of County Attorney, holding that office for six years. He performed the duties of this office with distinction, giving his earnest attention to the work, and was known as one of the most progressive leaders of public affairs. Mr. McNamara has no partnership associations, but a younger brother, J. W. McNamara, has recently entered his office.
John B. McNamara was born near Marlin, in Falls County, Texas, the twenty-fourth of July, 1877. His father, John McNamara, was a native of Ireland, who came to the states at the age of twenty, alone. He came to Texas in 1870, spending his remaining years in this state, where he was a railroad man and farmer. His mother, prior to her marriage, Miss Martha Childress,(sic actually Ruth) is a native of the Lone Star State, and now lives at the old home, in McLennan County. Mr. McNamara was educated in the county public schools at Bosqueville, and finishing there he entered Texas Christian University, where he took the A. B. degree. He then entered the office of Clarke and Bollinger, two of the best known attorneys in the state, and studied law in their office, being admitted to the bar in 1901.
Mr. McNamara was married at Marlin, Texas, the twentieth of April, 1910, to Miss Alice Goodrich, daughter of Judge L. W. Goodrich, well known Falls County attorney. Mr. and Mrs. McNamara make their home in Waco, at 521 Herring Avenue, and have a family of four children, Guy W., John B., Jr., Alice Battle, and Daniel Goodrich. Mr. McNamara belongs to several fraternal organizations, the Odd Fellows, the Maccabees, the Woodmen, and the Masons, Blue Lodge, and Elks at Waco.
