FRANK GUYLES

A telegram received here Tuesday reports that Frank Guyles died Monday in San
Diego, California. Last fall he had given up his position as cashier for the
Albert Landreth Co. here in order to seek possible relief for his illness in
southern California. The body will be brought here for burial. The deceased,
a son of the late sawmill owner Jacob F. Guyles, was born 56 years ago in
Waukegan and came here as a child. He leaves a widow, who is a daughter of the
late Charles Luling, and one daughter.

FRANK GUYLES DEAD IN WEST
Former Resident of City Yields Life While Seeking Health in Change of Climate
Frank Guyles, who left here three months ago in hope of regaining his health in a change of clime, died at San Diego, Cal., Monday night, dispatches to friends here conveyed the sad intelligence which, though not unexpected, is a painful shock to a wide circle. Plans have been completed to bring the body to this city for burial and it will leave San Diego tomorrow, reaching here later in the week and the funeral may be held Sunday or the first days of next week.
Advices from San Diego of late, relative to the condition of Mr. Guyles, have not been encouraging and it was known Saturday that the struggle was proving an unequal one in which there was small chance that the patient would survive. Mr. Guyles has been confined to his bed during the past weeks and had failed rapidly. The disease fastened itself upon him two years ago and became serious a year ago when he was suddenly stricken while in Chicago. Returning here, Mr. Guyles was forced to abandon active pursuits for months but improved and the family hoped for the best. Another attack prompted removal to California and though at first there was some change for the better, it was not permanent.
The life of Frank Guyles has been a particularly active one. He was born at Waukegan, Ill., and came to Manitowoc when a boy with his father, Captain John F. Guyles, who was associated in business soon after with George Pankratz, comprising the firm of Guyles and Pankratz. He was married here, his wife being a daughter of the late Charles Luling. for a time he was employed as a bank clerk in the T.C. Shove bank, later becoming an office empoye of the Truman & Cooper flour and feed company now. For a period of five years he was located at Norwood, Mich., where with his brother, George B. Guyles and G.V. Nash, he was in the lumber business but after this removed to Cleveland, Ohio and lived there until 1899. At this time he came back to this city and accepted a position for the Albert Landreth Company as cashier which position he held until a year ago when his health began to fail him and he was obliged to resign, the work entailing too much indoor work. While never active in politics and never closely identified with big enterprises of any sort, the decedent at all times manifested the profoundest interest in the welfare of the city. He held no public office but was a director of the local Building and Loan Association ever since its start. He was essentially a home-loving man and in his position with the Landreth Company was perhaps the most valued employe the concern ever had being in the closest touch with all of its affairs. Since coming to this city from Cleveland, Mr. Guyles had been a communicant of the Presbyterian Church and in this connection was more than a passive member. Mr. Guyles was 56 years of age and is survived by a widow and one daughter, Miss Calla Guyles. One sister, Mrs. L.J. Nash, this city and a brother, J.C. Guyles of Tacoma, Washington also survive.
