Only a week intervened between the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Ewing guthrie, old and highly esteemed citizens of Cedar twonship.

Mrs. Guthrie was ill at the time of her husband's death.
Funeral services over the remains of Mr. Guthrie were held at the home last Friday afternoon by Rev. G.A. Shadwick, and burial was in the New Bloomfield cemetery. Mrs. Guthrie's funeral will occur this afternoon and she will be buried beside her husband.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie were born in Callaway county, he on the site of the town of Guthrie, and she on a farm not far distant. He was born in April, 1824, and she in 1830. Her maiden name was Mary Jane Chalfant. They were married in 1848 and celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their wedding last April.
Six children were born to them, five of whom are living. They are James S. Guthrie, of New Bloomfield; Dr. E.C. Guthrie of Aspen, Col.; George R. Guthrie, of Columbia, and Mesdamess G.D Cason and B.F. Renoe, of New Bloomfield.
Mr. Guthrie leaves four brothers, namely; Judge John A. Guthrie, of Mexico; D. Baxter Guthrie, of Hatton; Samuel N. Guthrie, of Kirksville, and T.F Guthrie, who lives on the old homestead at Guthrie. Mrs. Guthrie was the last surviving member of her family.
Both were members of the Presbyterian church. Because of his advanced age, Mr. Guthrie had lived a retired life a number of years, though in the days of his activity, he was an enterprising and progressive citizen. Mrs. Guthrie was a saintly, old-fashioned mother whose life was a benediction to the community. The children who mourn their death have the sympathy of a host of friends.
