MRS. ELIZABETH F. GUTHRIE.

   Mrs. Elizabeth F. Guthrie, widow of Thaddeus Guthrie, Rock Creek township,
Carroll county, was born on March 13, 1857, in Adams township, this county, and
is a daughter of Dr. Robert I. Wilson and Jane (Howell) Wilson. She grew to
young womanhood at Lockport, Indiana, and at the proper age was sent to the
public schools, after which she attended the school at Delphi, and later entered
the State Normal School at Terre Haute. After finishing her education, Mrs.
Guthrie became a teacher, in which capacity she was engaged for three years
prior to her marriage. Mrs. Guthrie is one of the landowners in Rock Creek
township, her farms totaling about three hundred acres. The home farm is one of
the best farms in the county, the management of which is entirely under her own
supervision. Mrs. Guthrie is an attendant of the Presbyterian church at Burrows.

   Dr. Robert I. Wilson, father of Mrs. Guthrie, was born on December 15, 1815,
in Ross county, Ohio, and was a son of John and Lucy (Taylor) Wilson. His wife
was Jane (Howell) Wilson, by whom he had eight children, namely: John W.,
deceased; Mary B., the wife of Lafayette McReynolds; Emily J., who was married
to William Guthrie; Lucy C., who became the wife of Adam Gibson; Louise was
united in marriage with Alfred Guthrie; Elizabeth Frances, the widow of Thaddeus
Guthrie; James A. H., who was married to Dr. Mary Brown, and Clara M., who died
in infancy. After the death of his wife, Dr. Robert L. Wilson was married,
secondly, to Helen Parker, to which union were born two children, Minnie and
Winnie, twins.

   John Wilson, the paternal grandfather, was a son of William H. Wilson, and
his wife was Lucy (Taylor) Wilson. They had eleven children.

   The Wilsons in America, from whom the subject of this sketch is descended,
came from the North of Ireland to the United States, during very early times,
the emigrant ancestor being John Wilson, who had five sons, James, the third
son, was the father of nine children, of whom John was the fifth child, and the
father of eleven children.

   Elizabeth Frances Wilson was united in marriage on August 31, 1879, with
Thaddeus Guthrie, son of John and Barbara (Foy) Guthrie. He was born on December
5, 1831, in Ross county, Ohio, and came to Carroll county in 1840. His education
was obtained in the public schools of the district. To this union six children
were born, Louise F., Winifred B., Lahre A., Mary W., Annie S. and Jane H.
Louise F. was graduated from the public schools, and afterward became the wife
of Christian Blankinship, and is teaching school in North Dakota; Winifred B. is
a graduate of the Holy Angels Academy of Logansport, Indiana, and is now the
wife of Adolph Erdman; Lahre A. was graduated from the public school, was united
in marriage with Pearl Stuart, and they live in Rock Creek township; Mary W. was
graduated from the public schools, after which she attended the Holy Angels
Academy and the South Dakota Normal School, and is now a teacher in Washington;
Annie S. is also a graduate of the public schools, the Holy Angels Academy, the
South Dakota Normal School, and is a student at Indiana State University; Jane
H. is a graduate from the Delphi high school, and is also a student at Indiana
State University.

   The prosperous and valuable farm on which Mrs. Guthrie resides and which she
manages is known as "Brookside Farm," and is situated ten miles east of Delphi,
Indiana, on rural route No. 1. Rockfield, where she has many warm and congenial
friends and acquaintances.
