General Notes: Husband - Henry M. Guy


During the summer months he assisted his father in the work of the latter's farm, and during the winter months he attended the local public schools, where he gained an excellent education. At the age of seventeen, he completed his studies at these institutions, but continued for a number of years to carry on the work of his father's farm. In the spring of 1880, he removed to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and entered into a business arrangement with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which he continued for about one year. His uncle, Jacob Kepple, was the proprietor of a very considerable business, manufacturing carriages and wagons, and offered him a position in his establishment. This Mr. Guy accepted, and later became the owner thereof. From that time for a period of about thirty-five years or more, he continued uninterruptedly in that line, during which he built up one of the largest enterprises of its kind in the region.
He was affiliated with a large number of important organizations, fraternal and otherwise. He was a member of Camp No. 18, Woodmen of the World, and was an honorary member of the Society of Scotch Clans. In his religious belief, Mr. Guy was a Lutheran, while in politics the Democratic party claimed his allegiance.
