Laid to Rest
The funeral of John Guy, whose death cast a gloom over the entire town, occurred on Sunday afternoon. The Eagles lodge and the members of Local Union 2282, marched to the home in a body and escorted the body to the Congregational church where Rev. F.C. Lewis conducted the services. Mrs. D.F. Morris, Mrs. Mary Clark, Mrs. D.M. Thayer and Dr. F.S. Davis sang “Face to Face” and “Lead Kindly Light.” Many beautiful floral pieces and huge bouquets of beautiful flowers were sent, showing the esteem in which the deceased was held. The Eagles had charge of the services at the cemetery. The funeral cortege was blocks long, the friends of the deceased paying the last tribute of love to one our town’s own boys.

With his right arm caught in the gearing of a pumping engine at a Rock Springs mine, John Guy reversed the engine and withdrew his mangled arm, walked several hundred yards to a carriage and was taken to the state hospital, where he died from the shock following the amputation of the arm.
