U. D. GUTHRIE, a native of Guthrie Township, was born November 9, 1836,
being the fifth child of DANIEL and LUCY A. (WEDDELL) GUTHRIE, mention of
whom is made elsewhere in this volume.  The youth of our subject was passed
like that of all boys of early settlers, without many advantages, and at
hard work in the woods.  His education, enough for the transaction of
business, was obtained at the old subscription schools, and by application
outside of school hours.  When almost twenty-one years of age he was united
in marriage with MELINDA MUNDELL, and to these parents two children were
born, both of whom are now deceased.  April 1, 1870, Mrs. Guthrie died, and
September 30, 1870, he married LUCY O. BROOKING, who has borne him five
children, four of whom are living:  ARTHUR M., STELLA, WINONA and U. M.  In
youth Mr. Guthrie secured a thorough knowledge of farm management, and has
since made farming and stock-raising his occupation.  He is the owner of 302
acres of land.  He is a Republican, and an influential man;  indeed, the
Guthrie family in all its branches, combines nearly all the enterprise and
intelligence of the township, which was justly named for them.
