Laurel Leader-Call, Monday, April 8, 1963
HEADLINE: Veteran Ad Compositor At Leader-Call Succumbs
Funeral services were scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Monday from Magnolia Street 
Baptist Church for Sidney L. Guy, 58, veteran ad compositor for the Laurel 
Leader-Call. Dr. Damon Vaughn, pastor, officiated and burial was to follow in 
Hickory Grove Cemetery. Guy was one of three sons of the late Sidney F. and 
Beulah G. Guy, of McComb, attended the schools of Pike County. At the age of 
18 he began work as an  apprentice in the office of the Tylertown Times, at 
Tylertown, after which he attended the Southern School of Printing in 
Nashville, Tenn. Returning to Mississippi, his first work was with the Summit 
Sun and from there he went to the Pascagoula Chronicle Star as production 
superintendent. Illness forced him to give up his Pascagoula job and he 
returned to Tylertown for a period of recuperation during which he did part-
time work. In 1949 he came to Laurel to work for the Leader-Call where he has 
since been continuously employed. He died Saturday night following a heart 
attack, although he had been in ill health for sometime and had not worked for 
several weeks. Guy was married Aug. 10, 1928 to Miss Dixie Quinn of Tylertown. 
There are two children, Mrs. Ted May, Alexandria, La., and Sidney, Jr., with 
the Pascagoula Chronicle Star and three grandchildren. He is also survived one 
brother, Randolph Guy, a resident of Arlington, Va. Outside of his family and 
work, Guy's main interest was in the program of the Magnolia Street Baptist 
Church where he was a deacon and taught the Fellowship Bible Class. Active 
pallbearers were: Leon Flynt, Haskel Smith, Charles Brown, Roberts Holiday, 
Roy Walley, Jr., Joe Musgrove, B.T. Collins and L. O. Saucier.  Honorary 
pallbearers included deacons and members of the Fellowship Bible Class of 
Magnolia Street Baptist Church and employees of the Laurel Leader-Call. 
Thompson Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
