MARSHALL P. GUY

    Marshall P. Guy, a farmer, was born in 1845, on the old homestead farm in Darby Township, upon which he has always resided.  The original purchase of 146 acres has received subsequent additions, and now consists of 552 acres, of which he owns one half.  He was raised as a farmer, and in 1872 married Miss Ross Bidwell, a daughter of Addison and Mary A. Bidwell, early pioneers of this township, where she was born and raised.  This union has been blest with four children, three surviving, viz.: Alice, Rodney and Effie.  During the rebellion Mr. Guy served as a private in 1864, in the one hundred days' service, with Company K, One Hundred and Thirty-sixth Ohio National Guards.  He is a believer in the doctrine of universal salvation and a member of the Universalist Church at Plain City.  He is also a member of the Odd Fellows fraternity and one of the substantial freeholders of this township.
