From Shelby County Democrat, Sidney, Ohio.  29 Apr 1892, p 5: 

	DEATH SEPARATED THEM.

	The following, taken from the Dayton Journal of Tuesday, is truly
pathetic and will be fully understood when it is known that Mr. GUCKES
has been blind for years.  The two were familiar figures on the
streets of Dayton.  Mr. GUCKES will greatly miss the helpfulness of
his grandson.  Mr. GUICKES was a resident of Sidney for some years and
is well known here.

	"George W. HARP, the eight year old son of Wm. H. HARP, of Sideny,
died at that place on Sunday and will [be] buried to-day.  The boy was
a grandson of Henry GUCKES, of this city, and during the school
vacation made his home with his grand parents.  He was greatly devoted
to his grandfather, and will be remembered by scores of persons for
his loving attentions as guide and companion for Mr. GUCKES.  The
latter is greatly depressed over the loss of his grandsons.  The boy
died of pneumonia.  Mr. GUCKES will attend the funeral." 

I have no affiliation with the Guckes or Harp names, but offer the
above obituary in the hopes it will be of assistance to someone.
