"FRANK GUITON PASSES AWAY AT HOSPITAL - Well Known Resident Who Was For Many Years an Employe Of Titusville Iron Works - ILL FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS - Frank P Guiton, for many years a resident of Titusville, died at the City hospital yesterday at 12:00 noon, followin an operation for an acute case of obstruction of the bowels. The deceased was well known in this community, having lived at 314 North Brown street and having been an employe of the Titusville Iron Works for a considerable number of years. He had been ill with appendicitis and obstruction of the bowels for the past two weeks, and his passing was a great shock to his many friends, especially his fellow workers at the Iron Works. Frank P Guiton was born in Forest county, May 1, 1854, the son of Abraham and Charlotte Guiton. His entire boyhood days were spent in the vicinity of his birth, and he grew to manhood there. In June, 1879, forty-three years ago, he was united in marriage to Miss Josie Moll, and to them one son was born. Shortly after their marriage, Mr and Mrs Guiton moved to the vicinity of Pithole, and Mr Guiton was here connected with various operations in the early oil fields. In 1889 he moved his family to this city, accepting employment with the Pennsylvania Parafin works, whose plant was situated on South Perry street, near the bridge over Oil Creek. Later, and for the past twenty-seven years, he had been employed by the Titusville Iron Works. Four years ago he met with a serious accident while working at the plant, this necessitating the amputation of one of his arms. Since that time he had been employed as day watchman at the plant. Frank Guiton is survived by his wife and one son, Theodore, who resides at home. He was a member of the Methodist church, the Methodist Brotherhood, and of the Order of Odd Fellows. No arrangements for the funeral services have as yet been made."
