In the summer of 1934, my Uncle Ced (Cedric Duryee Guion, then just 17 years old) hitchhiked from Trumbull, CT to North Dakota and Wisconsin in search of the roots of his mother’s heritage. Arla Mary Peabody had been born in North Dakota and moved to New York where she met and married my Grandpa, Alfred Duryee Guion. She had passed away the previous summer after a long illness and Ced wanted to meet members of his Mother’s family. On the way, he stopped at the Chicago World’s Fair and spent four days there, taking in the sights. This is the introductory page of a booklet entitled, “What I saw at the CHICAGO WORLD’S FAIR 1934”
