T. C. GUTHRIE DEAD. ----- Sister of Mr. John N. Wilson Dies in Charlotte. Mr. John N. Wilson, of this city, received a telegram last night informing him of the sudden death in Charlotte of his sister, Mrs. Rusie Wilson Guthrie, wife of Mr. Thomas C. Guthrie, of that city. This morning's Charlotte Observer contained the following notice of her death: Mrs. Rusie Wilson Guthrie, wife of Mr. Thomas C. Guthrie, died at St. Peter's Hospital last night about 8 o'clock, after a brief illness. She leaves a husband and three children, Masters Thomas, Wilson and Charlie Parks Guthrie, and two brothers and one sister, Mr. John N. Wilson, of Greensboro, Mrs. Rebecca W. Legrand, of Rockingham, and Rev. N. H. D. Wilson, of Hertford. Mrs. Rusie Wilson Guthrie was born in Greensboro 40 years ago. She was a daughter of the late Rev. N. H. D. Wilson, one of the leading preachers of the Methodist Conference of North Carolina. Her mother, before her marriage to Dr. Wilson, was Miss Mary Jane Gregory. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson died a number of years ago. They owned a beautiful home on West Market street in Greensboro, and were among the best people in that city. Mrs. Charles Parks, of Hillsboro, was a sister of Mrs. Guthrie. She died several years ago. Sixteen years ago last December she was married to Mr. Guthrie and went to Rockingham to live. About eight years ago she and her husband and their children moved to Charlotte where they have since resided. Within the last few months she joined the Episcopal church. Mrs. Guthrie was a most attractive woman. She made friends wherever she went by her sweet disposition and affable, pleasant manners. The Guthrie home in Dilworth was one of the most charming and hospitable in the city. No couple was ever more congenial and happier than Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie and they were companions to their boys. The news of the death of Mrs. Guthrie came as a great shock to her friends. She was taken to the hospital Tuesday, where that evening she gave birth to a child, which died yesterday. About 7 o'clock yesterday afternoon she became desperately ill, without apparent cause, and by the time her loved ones could be summoned to her side, dissolution had begun. Just before expiring she recognized Mr. Guthrie, who had arrived and taken her by the hand. The sad news spread rapidly and the newspaper telephones were kept busy answering questions about her. The call was so sudden and so unexpected. In their bereavement Mr. Guthrie and the children have the sympathy of the entire community. The funeral arrangements have not been made yet. The interment will be at Elmwood tomorrow, the hour to be fixed later.
