History Of Idaho 1914 Vol 3 > Names, page 7,9

EDWIN F GUYON, M.D. Among the professional men of commanding eminence in eastern Idaho is Dr. Edwin F. Guyon, of Montpelier, a gentleman highly respected for talents, attainment and worth, and a physician who has state-wide, even national, reputation for his interest and his labors in the direction of checking and stamping out tuberculosis. The noblest end of biography is to stimulate by example, to encourage by the picture of bravely crown patient conflict with untoward conditions, and Dr. Guyon's career has been of such a character that a review of it will serve that purpose.

He was born at New Orleans, Louisiana, November 7, 1853, the son of Leon John and Emily Louise (Shattuck) Guyon, the former of whom was a native of Jersey City, New Jersey and the latter of St Louis, Missouri. The father had come from his native city to New Orleans at an early day as a contractor and bridge builder. He was of French Huguenot ancestry and came of a family that originated in this country with Huguenot refugees from France after the revocation of the edict of Nantes. Edwin F. was but an infant when his father disappeared and no trace of him was ever found. In 1855 the mother, with her little son, then but two and a half years old, removed to California, where later she married again. Deciding to seek his fortunes in the North, her husband left the family at Sacramento, California, and went up into British Columbia, where he secured a contract from the captain of a British ship to supply his vessel with a cargo of mast poles. He proceeded to fulfill the order, but just about the time he was ready for the delivery of the products of his labor a heavy storm set in, the ship was destroyed and the labor of a year went for naught. In the meantime his family had joined him in the North. After this disaster they returned to Sacramento, but shortly afterward removed to Portland, Oregon, which was then a mere village and where Dr. Guyon attended school to the age of twelve. His step-father then bought some Indian cattle and began ranching at Pilot Rock, Oregon, and Edwin was taken there to assist in farm work. He knows well what cowboy life meant according to the order of the old West, and the remuda, the round-up, the chuck-wagon, branding, roping and cutting-out are all terms that are familiar to him from his own experience. His life, for the most part, passed in this manner until about twenty-five years of age, when his mother died at Pilot Rock, Oregon, on March 20, 1878, at the age of forty-nine years. He then bought a few cattle, going in debt for most of them, and took up ranching independently, following it for a short time and succeeding so well that at the end of his first year he was practically free of debt. In the meantime, being of a studious nature and intent on securing a good education, he had pursued studies at Walla Walla College, Walla Walla, Washington, from which he was graduated in 1875 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. In 1879, having decided to follow medicine as his life pursuit, he matriculated at the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio, to prepare for this profession and remained a student there until 1891, when he was graduated from the medical department on March 5. To be more fully prepared for the most efficient service he took a year of post-graduate work in the same institution and then came to Pendleton, Oregon, to commence the practice of to Pendleton, Oregon, to commence the practice of his profession. He was very successful from the start and continued at Pendleton until February 28, 1896, when he changed his location to Montpelier, Idaho, beginning his professional services there on March 3, 1896, and continuing thus engaged until 1900, when he received the appointment of assistant surgeon for the Diamond Coal Company, Diamondville, Wyoming, whence he removed and remained three years. From 1897 to 1903 he was also assistant surgeon for the Oregon Short Line Railroad. Returning to Montpelier in 1903, he again soon commanded an extensive practice and has become well known as one of the ablest physicians of eastern Idaho. In 1907 he was appointed a member of the state board of medical examiners by Governor Stuenenberg and was the author of the law passed at that time by the Idaho legislature. In 1911 he was appointed the sole representative of Idaho to the convention on tubercular diseases held at Denver by the National Association of Physicians for the cure and prevention of tuberculosis, and in 1912 was appointed again by the state as one of five representative to the International Convention on Hygiene and Demography held at Washington D.C., in September of that year. That same month and year he was a representative to the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Independent Order of Odd Fellows held at Winnipeg, Canada, which convention had for one of its purposes the taking of steps to provide a hospital where members of that order, of whatever nationality, suffering from tuberculosis, may be treated and cared for. He is a man of enlarged sympathies, is a prominent and highly valu3ed member of this old and honored fraternity and has sat in its Sovereign Grand Lodge as Grand Patriarch representing the Idaho Encampment of this order. His other fraternal associations are as a member of the Woodmen of the World. Politically he is a Democrat and was chairman of the Montpelier city council in 1910 and 1911. In his religious views he is broad and liberal andis a conscientious member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Guyon has been twice married. He first wedded Miss Marguerite Jones, to whom he was united July 6, 1879, at Pilot Rock, Oregon, and who bore him two children: Maude, born at Pilot Rock, March 27, 1880, who is now Mrs. D. F. Brown and has three children; and Lafayette M. Guyon, born at Pendleton, Oregon, June 4, 1890, who resides at Montpelier, Idaho, is married and has two children. The second marriage of Dr. Guyon took place at Montpelier, Idaho, in 1903, and united him to Miss Effie M. Burke. To this union have been born three children: Edwin Fenemore, born in January 1905, who is now attending school at Montpelier; Windle Shattuck, born in 1907, and Royal C., born in 1909.

Possessed of a mind of rare strength and symmetry, well stored with the thrifty study of years, Dr. Guyon has achieved much in his calling. He started out in life a poor boy and by reason of his own efforts, force of energy and predominating willpower he has risen from an humble station in life to one of competence, distinction and eminence. When he came of responsible age he most commendably assisted in the providing for his mother, and when older he secured a good education through his own exertions, all portraying the moral heroism and self-sacrifice that have made him a good physician and an honor to the profession. In every aspect of his character he is broad, liberal and enlightened and closely in touch with the higher and better development of society. He believes like many of his fellow citizens that Idaho has the brightest future of any state of the Union. He bases his belief on the facts that there are vast mineral deposits here yet undeveloped; thousands of acres of arid land of phenomenal fertility when water is provided; a wealth of the most beautiful scenery to be found in the world; and those amenities of climate that make it the most healthful spot to be found anywhere. The last named asset, the health giving power, he believes will in time give Idaho world=wide ‘renown when the state’s great mineral springs, hot and cold, are availed of and proper sanitariums have been built. At Montpelier Dr. Guyon has erected a beautiful home for his family and here he hopes to spend his remaining years.
