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.
