He had been suffering for some time past with lung and heart trouble and this caused his death. Deceased was raised in Venango county and was at one time a commissioner of that county. In the early days of the state militia he was brigadier general of the Twentieth brigade. He came to Titusville about thirty years ago and has resided here ever since. He was a carpenter by trade and followed that business up to the time of his death. Mr Guist was sober and industrious and highly respected by all who knew him.
