GUY AL RUDY.

The well-directed efforts of Guy M. Rudy, one of the best known of the younger generation of agriculturists of Sugar Creek township, W'ayue county, have brought him success, his life demonstrating what may be accomplished by the man of energy and ambition, who is not afraid to work and has the perseverance to continue his labors, even in the face of seemingly discouraging obstacles, possessing many of the sterling traits of his honored ancestors who have figured prominently in the affairs of this locality since the pioneer days. He is the son of Levi S. Rudy and the grandson of David Rudy, and the great-grandson of Christian Rudy, who was the first member of this family to settle in Wayne county, Ohio, where he came from Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. For a full history of these ancestors the reader is directed to the sketch of David Rudy, on another page of this work. Guy M. Rudy was born August 8, 1875, in Sugar Creek township, on the farm where he now resides, and is the second son of Levi S. and Elizabeth (Ervin) Rudy. When he arrived at the proper age he assisted on the farm during crop seasons and in winter he attended the district schools until he was about eighteen years of age, then he spent one term in the Dalton high school; he was a good student and obtained a fairly serviceable education. After completing his education, Mr. Rudy turned his attention to farming and stock raising, which he has since followed in a most successful manner.

Mr. Rudy was married in 1899 to Lulu King, who was reared near Ast Lebanon, Wayne county, but she was born near Mount Eaton, this state, May 21, 1877. Her people have long been influential in that vicinity. She received a good common school education. This union has resulted in the birth of three daughters, Maude, born October 3, 1901; Ethel, born June 19, 1903; Mary, born August 10, 1905.

Mr. and Mrs. Rudy are members of the Presbyterian church at Dalton, of which Mr. Rudy has served as trustee. In politics he is a Republican, and takes considerable interest in the local affairs of his party.

As a farmer Mr. Rudy has been abreast of the times in every respect, owning an excellent farm, well improved and well managed, which yields abundant crops from year to year. He is also interested in stock, especially horses and Jersey cows. He finds a ready market for his stock owing to the fine quality- of the same. Mr. Rudy is a young man of fine characteristics and is well liked by the people of his community who have known him since childhood, and can vouch for his big conception of true American manhood.
