Marian,
I found your William Guice in a couple censuses.
In 1900, William is 70 years old, his wife Mary E. is 39, they've been married 2 years, and they have a daughter Claudi M., who is 0/12!She was born in May 1900, not even a month old.William was born in Jan 1830, Mary was born in Jan 1861, and all three were born in Georgia.The family is living in Mountain View District, Haralson Co., GA (p. 269 of the census).
Their next door neighbor was an Elisha E. Guice, age 40, with his wife Huldy C., age 32, with their children John F., Nettie V., and Roberson B.Elisha was a son from William's first marriage.
Back in 1880, William M. Guice was living in Cherokee Co., AL, with his first wife (p. 406 in the census).He was 50, born in GA, and both his parents were also.His wife was Lorena, 49, born in GA, her father in NC, her mother in GA.What is very interesting are the comments for each:"rheumatise" for William, and "prolapsed uterus" for Lorena.They had three children:Elisha, 20, Franklin M., 17, and Sarah M., 8.With Sarah is noted, "bronchitus."By the way, the census taker seems to have corrected his spelling for Guice.It could be read as Guice or Guise.
I hope this helps some.
