George A. Guthrie

Sudden Passing of Widely Known Greenfield Resident Comes As a Shock

While walking from his residence down to his mailbox for the mail on Monday about 12.30 noon, George Alexander Guthrie of Greenfield suddenly collapsed and expired. He had not been in the best of health for some time but appeared to be on the road to recovery. Born on the Guthrie homestead, Greenfield road, a son of David Guthrie and Elizabeth Morton, Scottish pioneers, he had lived all his life in this district. Mr. Guthrie was in his 79th year, and was the last member of the Guthrie family of eight sons and two daughters. In his early years, he occupied the farm now owned by John J. Hodgson, at the C.P.R. depot. He then removed to the farm, 1-1/2 miles west of New Dundee on the Blenheim road, now occupied by his son, William; and 19 years ago came to Greenfield where he took over the old Goldie farm. Mr. Guthrie was known far and wide for his many fine qualities. His was a cheerful disposition and his company was always desirable. He was a lifelong member of Knox United church. Mr. Guthrie was married twice. His first wife, whose maiden name was Barbara Hall, predeceased him 35 years ago. By this union there were three children: William Guthrie, Blenheim; Mrs. Ernest Coleman, Galt, and Miss Barbara, Toronto. He subsequently married Estella Alberta Toman, who survives him, along with two sons, Hugh of Blenheim and James, at home. There are also nine grandchildren. The funeral will take place this (Thursday) afternoon at, 2.30 o'clock from his late residence to the Ayr Cemetery.

They settled on the farm now occupied by her, son Thomas in North Dumfries, which, with the exception of an occasional visit among different members of her family continued to be her home, and from there her remains were conveyed to their last resting place in the Ayr cemetery. A large family survives, the members of which are - David in Superior, Neb., Robert in Lincoln, Neb., Mrs. Wm. Marshall, Ayr, John D , Ayr, Mrs. C. H.

_____________

Demise of Wm. Hall - Another old and life-long resident of this section passed away on Saturday night in the person of William Hall, of New Dundee, who died at the Woodstock hospital, in his 79th year. The deceased had been ailing all winter and spent about a month in the hospital. He was born in Scotland and came to Canada with his parents when in infancy. They settled on the old Hall homestead Perry's Corners and here the deceased spent the greater part of his life, retiring seven years ago, since which time he had resided at New Dundee. He was one of the sturdy pioneers who did his share in making the wilderness bloom, and who was an active participant in, and a witness of the rapid strides made by the province which became his adopted country. He was a Presbyterian in religion, a Liberal in politics, and a man of many excellent traits of character. He was twice married, his first wife being Elizabeth Young of Ayr and his surviving wife's maiden name was Maggie Bunyan. Two sons and one daughter also survive. They are Andrew Y., Toronto, William on the homestead, and Arabelle (wife of Rev. D. C. Ramsay of New Liskeard). The funeral which took place from his late home, New Dundee, to the Ayr cemetery, on Tuesday was largely attended, the obsequies being conducted by deceased's pastor, Rev. D. Il Ellison of Stanley-St. Church. The pallbearers were: And. O. and John Hall, Plattsville; Andrew Hall, Drumbo; John and Thos. Hall, Ayr, and A. R. Hall, Thornhill.
