E. H. GUYER.

    E. H. Guyer, who is engaged in merchandising and also in dealing in stock at
Hobart, was born in Calhoun county, Michigan, June 8, 1854. His father, Andrew
Guyer, was one of the pioneer settlers of Calhoun county. His wife, who bore the
maiden name Mary Royce, died during the infancy of her son, E. H. Guyer. In the
family were twelve children. The eldest brother was killed in the battle of
Stone River during the Civil war. Mr. Guyer was the youngest child of his
father's first marriage, but has a half-sister born of the second marriage. He
was but fifteen years of age when he started out in life on his own account, and
in 1874 he made his way to Lake county, Indiana, where he secured employment in
a brickyard at driving a team by the day and month. He worked for about four
years in the butchering business, and in 1884 he established a meat market of
his own in Hobart. He is also engaged in buying, selling and shipping stock and
also dealing in hay. To some extent he has dealt in real estate and now owns
considerable property at Hobart and Indiana Harbor. In 1897 he built his present
business block, one of the substantial structures of the city.

    In 1884 Mr. Guyer was united in marriage to Miss Rebecca Green, a daughter
of John A. and Cordelia (Bird) Green. She was born in Lake county, being a
representative one of the pioneer families here. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Guyer
is celebrated for its gracious hospitality, and the hospitality of the best
homes of the city is extended to them. Mr. Guyer is a Cleveland Democrat, but at
local elections votes for the candidate whom he thinks best qualified for
office. He is identified with the Masonic fraternity at Hobart. He has traveled
extensively over the county, buying and selling stock, and is recognized as a
most progressive business man of Hobart, whose success indicates his life of
thrift and industry.
