When Dr. Guy was a youth of ten years his parents moved from the farm in Wayne Township to one situated in Morgan County, Ohio, and five years afterward to another farm, located in Chippewa Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. Franklin W. Guy was a regular attendant of the country schools during the winter sessions and usually spent his summers in farm work. He graduated from the Beaver Falls High School in the class of 1889, following which he taught school for seven years, dividing his time as follows: Four years in the country schools in Chippewa Township, one year in Big Beaver Township, Beaver County, two years in North Sewickley Township, Beaver County, and one year at Chewton. In 1902 he entered the medical department of the Western University of Pittsburg and was graduated in 1906, locating at Mahoningtown shortly afterward.
Dr. Guy was married July 3, 1906, to Mary E. McConnell, who is a daughter of James S. McConnell, of Volant, and they have one child, Margaret Eliza. He belongs to the Lawrence County Medical Society, and keeps abreast of the times in his chosen science. He is a member of the fraternal order of Odd Fellows.
