Abner J. Guthrie Died in Atlanta Early Yesterday
	All of Berrien County was shocked early yesterday morning to learn of 
the death of A.J. Guthrie in the Veterans hospital in Atlanta.  Mr. Guthrie 
passed away at about 1 o’clock Wednesday morning.
	He had been ill the past two months and was carried to the Veterans 
hospital two weeks ago, and on last Friday underwent an operation from which he 
failed to recover. He had previously spent a week in the Veterans hospital in 
Lake City, Fla.
	Mr. Guthrie was born and reared in Berrien County and lived all of his 
life here.  He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. Guthrie and was 51 years of 
age.  Besides farming he had served a number of terms on the County Board of 
Commissioners, and on January 1, next, would have finished the present term.  He 
did not offer for re-election in the February county primary.  He was a veteran 
of the World War.
	Mr. Guthrie was a likeable man, highly regarded and esteemed by all 
people who knew him, and many friends in all parts of the state will be sorry to 
learn of his death.
	Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Guthrie 
church in eastern Berrien County, conducted by Rev. Oscar Walker, pastor of the 
Bethel Church.  Burial will be in the church cemetery, in charge of the Giddens 
Funeral Home of Nashville.  The body arrived at Willacoochee this morning at 3 
o’clock and was carried to his home fourteen miles east of Nashville.
