James Guy McConathy was born Nov. 23, 1927, in Blum, the ninth of 12 children of the late William Oscar and Serena Allie Offutt McConathy. He was a proud veteran of the United States Navy having served during World War II aboard the USS Huntington. After his honorable discharge, Jimmy married the former Virginia Adams on Oct. 29, 1949, and they made their home in Parker County. Jimmy was a longtime member of Aledo Church of Christ where he taught the junior high class and served as a deacon.
