Mrs. Guthrie had one of her children in her arms and had just gone out upon the veranda to get some water for the infant when the bolt fell. It came crashing through the roof and struck her upon the head. Mrs. Guthrie was killed instantly and the child was badly burned but, marvelous to relate, was neither killed nor seriously injured. She was a sister of Mr. D. W. Titshaw, of Covington, and a most excellent lady, dearly beloved and highly esteemed by all who knew her.
