Gawler Bunyip
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 grand- children, and two great grandchildren. One son, the younger, Philip Gawler, made the supreme sacrifice in France in the Great War.
Gawler Bunyip Friday 17th January 1936. DEATH. GUY.—On the 11th January, at Gawler, Louisa, the widow of Philip Guy of 19 Daly Street, Gawler.
