Peabody News
1901
C. O. Guinn came here March 17, 1893, to
take charge of the station, being
promoted from his position as
cashier at Newton, which he had held six years. His
labors here
completed, last March, eighteen years continuous service for the Santa
Fe,
during which time the only change made was a promotion. He now
owns his own home here
and has identified himself thoroughly with
the best elements of Peabody. He is seeking
no further promotions,
and only asks of the company that they leave him here among his
friends to handle the business that long years of faithful service have
built up, and
which he feels himself more closely in touch than he
could with any other.
Mr. Guinn is at present a member of the
city council, to which position he was
elected last election. He is
an ardent temperance advocate both in example and precept
and his
influence is always given to measures that tend to elevate the moral and
religious tone of our town.
Mr. Guinn's family consists of a
wife and two daughters, Jessie and Belle, both
young ladies of high
attainments and social standing.
Mr. Guinn says he is well
satisfied with his associations and that he finds the
business men of
Peabody all that could be desired-fair to deal with, liberal, reliable
and pleasant. The business of the road has enjoyed a nice increase
with the up building
of the town and he hopes to continue with it. As
to his person qualities, we need only
to point to his record, which
expresses more than we could in a column.
