s/o Thomas Guymon

& Sarah Gordon

married, Sally Ann HanksThe death of Mr. William Guyman, an old and respected citizen of Hancock county, is announced. He died at his residence in Breckenridge at 2 o'clock a. m., March 30.

The Warsaw Bulletin, in speaking of the deceased, says: Mr. Guyman was born in South Carolina, and emigrated to Walker township, Illinois, in 1838. He has lived nearly a half century in the neighborhood where he died. His death was sudden, sad, and unexpected.

Out of a family of thirteen children, his wife and nine children preceded him to the grave. He was living with his son Edward, and on the morning before his death, he was feeling as well as usual. The family went to one of the neighbors. He assisted in carrying the bayby, then returned.

He was seen on the street about 11 o'clock a. m. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, his son came home, and found him lying prostrate on the floor in an unconscious condition. Medical aid was summoned from Tioga. He remained conscious until his sufferings were relieved by death.

He was buried in the Buckeye cemetery March 31st, with the honors of Masonry. Reverend J. D. Crooks, of Tioga, preached the funeral sermon.

He leaves four children, a number of grandchildren, and many sympathizing friends to mourn his loss.
