Goodspeed Bros. and Co., 1884


JOHN D. GUTHRIE was born in Guthrie Township, December 11, 1831, being the
third child of DANIEL W. and LUCY A. (WEDDELL) GUTHRIE.  He continued with
his parents on the farm until nearly twenty-one years of age, receiving only
fair education at the subscription schools.  His youth and early manhood
were passed without noteworthy event, and September 21, 1852, his marriage
with PATSY WALTERS was celebrated, and to these parents the following six
children were born:  SALINA, who married WILLIAM HARRIS;  ARCHIBALD, who
married MARY BOFFLE; LODEMA, who became the wife of M. BROWN;  MARIA, 
who
became the wife of VOLNEY ROUT;  MARTHA and JOHN D., JR., the latter being
unmarried and at home with their parents.  Mr. Guthrie has followed the
occupation of farming to the exclusion of other pursuits, and now owns 400
acres of well-improved and well-stocked land.  He is a Republican, and
himself and family are exemplary members of the Methodist Church.
