Picher Oklahoma, Aug 18 Word was received by the Todd undertaking company, of Picher that John R. Guinn, formerly of Picher, died at Denver Colorado, Saturday afternoon. The body was sent to the home of his mother, 1920 May street, Joplin Missouri, where funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon and burial will be in the cemetery at Carterville Missouri

Guinn was one of the pioneer business men of Picher and was associated with his brother, Charles E. Guinn in the real estate business until about a year ago, when Guinn was injured in an accident at the Anna Beaver Mine when a rib was said to have been forced through a lung, causing its deterioration. He was sent to various places in the hopes that recovery would be possible. At one time a large rooming house burned to the ground and he had to be carried from the burning structure.

O. E. Guinn, as administrator for the estate of the late John R. Guinn, Wednesday filed suit for $25,000 damages against the Anna Beaver Mine No. 2. He charges that October 30, 1918, John R. Guinn, while employed as a foreman at the mine, was struck by a dirt bucket and sustained injuries which caused his death August 15, 1919.
