Philip Guy - Obituary
"SOCIAL AND PERSONAL Mr. Philip Guy, an old resident of Gawler, who died at his residence "Liskeard," Daly Street, on July 25 1922, was born in the parish of Liskeard, Cornwall on November 30, 1837. He sailed in the ship Utopia in 1863, arriving at Adelaide port on February 10, 1864. A month later he came to Gawler and took up his craft as a bootmaker. Strikes even in those days had their influence on workers, and when matters were at their worst, Mr. Guy decided sooner than submit to the employer's demands, to open in business for himself. This occurred in March, 1868 and for 30 years he conducted his trade, his shop being now the northern extension of Mr. A. Sheard's Emporium.
For many years past Mr. Guy lived a life of retirement. As a young man he joined the ' Oddfellows' Order, M.U., and was a member of the Gawler branch at his death.
In early years he was a capable worker in the Methodist cause, being with the Tod Street Church.
There is left a widow, one son, five daughters, twelve grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. One son, the younger, Philip made the supreme sacrifice in France in the Great War."[1] (Bunyip 4 Aug 1922)
Louisa Guy nee Pilgrim - Death Notice
"DEATH. GUY.—On the 11th January, at Gawler, Louisa, the widow of Philip Guy of 19 Daly Street, Gawler." [2](Bunyip Friday 17 Jan 1936)
Guy Family information as remembered by Kevin Fitzgerald via email to Brian Thom
As mentioned I visited his house in Daly St. on a number of occasions when a young boy. The house was either yours [17 Daly Street] or perhaps one next door at the time. Phillip is mentioned in the Bunyip at various times usually requesting another to stand for Council. His daughter Edith is mentioned in various roles particularly Red Cross, the Methodist Church and WWI fund raising. Phillip had a shoe shop in Murray Street and died in 1922.
If it was 19 Daly Street then in the early 70s it was owned by Bert and Del Slate. The house then became a part of Gawler east Primary School but by the early 80's the house was demolished and became the Immanuel Lutheran School carpark area [on the Northern side of School Lane]. Slates then moved to their new home in 11 Gawler Terrace.
Guy Family Residence
Heritage Survey links Philip Guy to residence at 26 Daly Street from 1870 and indicates the property belonged to Guy family until 1956. Plus there is a photo of Philip Guy and wife Louisa at the home c1920. However, when widow Louisa died in 1936 her address was given as 19 Daly Street (a cottage which has since been demolished) - perhaps she moved to smaller nearby cottage after she was widowed?
