DEATH OF GULER LOSS TO VALLEY
Trout Lake -- August 12, 1935.
Christian Guler, who died August 8, 1935, at his home in Guler, Trout Lake Valley, Washington. was a permanent place in the history of the valley. He will be remembered by hundreds - scientists, newspaper men, mountain climbers, sportsmen and globe trotters -- who have patronized the Guler Hotel and his auto park as the perfect host.
Mrs. Guler's father owned a large hotel in the Alps, Switzerland, and his eldest brother was a mountain guide of note. Christian, while still in his teens, came to America. The lure of snow-capped Mount Adams brought him down the Columbia River and up the valley to the Trout Lake country, where in 1888 he homesteaded in Bear Valley, Washington.
The following year he returned to The Dalles, Oregon, where he married Miss Philomena Hammel, and in the late summer of 1890 the young couple, with their baby daughter, Margaretha Anna, made the difficult journey to the homestead.
In the late 90's, Mr. & Mrs. Guler brought the Stoller Ranch and Inn, which they converted into a tourists' hostelry known ever since as the Guler Hotel, and here, more than 40 years ago, Mr. Guler opened up the first post office in Trout Lake, Washington. Years ago, when he disposed of the hotel to the present proprietors, Mr. & Mrs. J.E. Reynolds, Mr. Guler developed in Trout Lake, Washington, an artistic auto park.
His wife Philomena died five years ago.
