" Obit - The Fort Scott Tribune, June 20, 1910, Page 6 James H. Guin [Gwin]was born in Macoupin county, Ill., on December 23, 1835, and died at the home of his daughter in Crawford county, Kan., June 16, 1910, at the age of 76 years 2 months, 21 days. He was married to Eliza Mayberry October 1857.
In 1861 he accepted Christ as his savior and became a member of the Methodist church, in which faith he continued until death. In 1866 he moved with his family to Kansas and located six miles south of this city, where he has since continued his residence. His life companion was called to the better world a few years ago. He leaves five children and several grandchildren to mourn their loss. The funeral service was conducted Sunday at 1 p.m. from the Pleasant View school house by Rev. L. G. Wood of the Brethren church.
James Guin was well known throughout the county and was highly respected by all who knew him, which was evidenced by the large concourse of sympathizing friends who attended the funeral. He was a loyal citizen, a good neighbor, a kind father and a devoted Christian. May these characteristics be held in sacred memory to help and bless the living. His last request was that his grandsons act as pallbearers and bear his body to its resting place, which request was carried out in full, and interment was made at Pleasant View cemetery by the side of his companion.
