In young manhood, Mr. Guthrie made a profession of religion and united with the Dunkard church of which he was a faithful member until 1907, when he with his family joined the Presbyterian church of this place and he has been a most faithful member, he was an elder for several years and it was his request on his death bed, a meeting be called and a new elder be put in before his death, which was done. To keep the church going and make it a success ahs been his greatest ambition, his last strength was put into that effort. He will be greatly missed by the whole community. The family have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.
