General Notes: Husband - William Guy


He was a miller by trade, but in the same connection he owned a farm located on Montours Run. It was known as Guy's Mills, later located on the Montour R. R. He marketed the product of his mill in Pittsburgh, often making two trips per week with his large "schooner" wagon. He became a man of some means and at one time owned over one thousand acres of land. It has been said he was blessed with a benevolent disposition; that the poor scarcely ever left his mill without something to supply their needs.
