!SOME HISTORY:
Guy Clifford Litehiser, known affectionatly, as "Pop" to his friends learned
telegraphy from, Uncle Daniel Litehiser in Austin Lake Michigan from 1913 until
1917, and then he went to work for Railroads as a Telegrapher. In 1917 he worked
at Glen Ullin, ND; Hysham, Mt ;and Custer, MT; as a telegrapher for The Northern
Pacific. From 1918 through 1924, Guy worked in Huntly, Mt as a Telegrapher for
The Northern Pacific & The Burlington Railroads. In 1924 to 1925, He worked at
The Eldorado Paving Company, for the Stayton Brothers (Cousins), in Eldorado,OH.
!In 1925, He was in Kansas City, KA. and worked for his Father In-Law at his
Battery and Ignition Shop. Guy also drove Street Cars in Kansas City.
!From 1925 to 1928, Guy was back in Huntly, MT., working as a telegrapher for
Northern Pacific and Burlington Railroads. He worked up and down an 800 mile
stretch of track, but lived in Huntly.
!In 1928, the family moved to Richardson, ND, and Guy worked as a telegrapher
on the Northern Pacific, until 1931.
!The family moved to Marysville, WA in 1931, and Pop worked at The Weyerhouser
Lumber Mill in Everett, WA through 1932. In 1933, he worked as a TIMEKEEPER,
for the WPA until 1935. He also had a Raliegh Route from 1934 through 1935.
!From 1938 to 1946, Guy was back at The Weyerhouser Lumber mill in Everett, WA.
!1946 through 1964, he worked for his sons Boyd & Bill at their Texaco Service
Station in Marysville, WA.
!"Pop" retired in 1964 and completed a 25 foot inboard boat that he had been
working on. Pop always had pretty much of a GREEN THUMB, and after he retired,
he raised many a bumper crop. Not just Fruits and Vegetables, but also lots of
pretty flowers especially Dahlia's. The boat, was christened "ALL ABOARD"
Sounds a little bit like railroad talk.
!In the Spring, of 1974, daughter Joan and her husband Larry helped Mom and Dad
pack, and move to Bend, Oregon. Pop, turned his garage, at his Bend, OR home
into a woodworking shop from which he produced a boat for daughter Donna, and
spining wheels for daughter In-Law Barbara, & daughter Joan. His garden in Bend
could only be described as busy, producing much garden produce for three family
tables.

Nature books are his favorite books to read.

!KALAMAZOO MICHIGAN GAZETTE, MARCH 16, 1912
!WILD RACE WITH DEATH ON HANDCAR
!After a wild race with death on an open handcar, Guy Litehiser, 19 of Austin
Lake, home Eaton, Ohio now lies in a ward at the Burgess hospital in this city
battling bravely against fate with the odds reduced to an equality. But for
the desperate measures resorted to by a Vicksburg Phyician in bringing him to
the operating table, it is possible that the grim reaper would have claimed an
easy victory.
!At 1 o'clock Sunday mornig the youth was taken violently ill. His condition
was not considered serious, however for several hours, and it was late in the
afternoon when Dr. F S Coller, of Vicksburg, was called. Upon examining the
boy the physician found him to be suffering with appendicitis. Already the
disease had ruptured the appendix and death was only a matter of a short time
unless an operation could be performed. It was then too late to get a train to
Kalamazoo. Neither was an automobile available. Time was precious. "A
horse-drawn rig would be too slow," counseled the doctor. And it was then that
the handcar was pressed into service.
!Dan Litehiser, Uncle of the stricken youth, is station agent at the Grand
Rapids & Indiana railway station at Austin Lake. He made haste to communicate
with the section foreman, and the car was soon drawn up at the station. The
boy was placed upon the homely vehicle, and with coats off and their heads
bared to the ever-increasing breeze, the uncle and the physician started upon
the desperate race for life.
!Mile after mile the tireless pumpers pushed the speeding wheels over the steel
rails, each stroke bringing the suffering youth nearer help. In the meantime
friends at Austin Lake had telephoned ahead of the rushing car and an auto
ambulance waited alongside the tracks at Vine Street to receive the patient.
At the hospital Dr. Rush McNair was busy prparing the operating room.
!With the tide of life rapidly ebbing away the heavy car was brought to a
sudden halt beside the ambulance. The then unconscious youth was transferred
to the auto and hurried to the hospital.
!In the operating room no time was lost. Even before the anaesthetic had been
administered the surgeon's knife had pierced the boy's side, and within half an
hour the sufferer had been transferred to a ward where it is declared he has an
even chance for recovery.--Kalamazoo (Mich.) Gazette, March 16,
!The above newspaper account will be interesting news to the many friends of
Guy Litehiser, and they will be further gratified to know that the heroic
efforts to save his life will be successful. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. William
Litehiser, went to Kalamazoo last week to be at his bedside, and they report
that Guy is now getting along as well as could be expected. Guy is a nephew of
Mrs. Joe Kennel, of this city.
!A note in the hand of Guy C. Litehiser, says that he was born on the Luke
Fisher Farm near Eaton, Ohio.
