HISTORY OF NODAWAY COUNTY MISSOURI BIOGRAPHICAL c. 1900
PERRY GUTHRIE
One of the leading agriculturists of Lincoln township, Nodaway county, Missouri, is Perry Guthrie, whose farm is pleasantly located two and one-half miles southwest of Braddyville, Iowa. He was born on that place, March 16, 1860, and is a son of Michael and Elizabeth (Osborne) Guthrie. The father was born in Pike county, Ohio, March 5, 1811, and in 1827 removed to Vermillion county, Indiana, where he resided for eighteen months. He then located in Vermilion county, Illinois, at Danville, and, after making his home there until 1854, he went to Wayne county, Iowa, but the following year removed to a farm in Nodaway county, Missouri. When in Illinois he learned the cooper's trade, which he followed for ten years, but much of his life has been devoted to farming. During the Black Hawk war he served for about two months, aiding in suppressing the uprising of the Indians, who menaced the life and property of the frontier settlers. He was married in Illinois, on the 3rd of November, 1836, to Miss Elizabeth Osborne, who was born in Adams county, Ohio, October 20, 1819. When a maiden of ten summers she accompanied her parents on their removal to Kentucky, and after a year they became residents of Vermillion county, Indiana, whence they went to Illinois. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie were born twelve children. The father died August 21, 1890, at the age of seventy-nine years, and his wife passed away October 22, 1892, at the age of seventy-three years.
Perry Guthrie was reared on the home farm, and after attending the schools for some years he spent one term in college. He was married in Nodaway county, Missouri, August 13, 1882, to Miss Ocea Willey. Her parents, Calvin and Christiana (Blake) Willey, were natives of New Hampshire, and from that state moved to Wisconsin but about twenty-eight years ago came to Missouri, making their home ever since on a farm in Nodaway county. Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie have six children, four sons and two daughters, namely: C. Carlisle, A. Garland, M. Mable, C. Edith, Lee Caroll and Vernon Cecil. After his marriage Mr. Guthrie settled on the old home place, where he has since resided with the exception of four years spent on another farm one mile west. At the death of his father he purchased the place. At first the father bought only a small tract, but kept adding to it, mostly wild land, until he had a good-sized farm. Mr. Guthrie usually supports the Democratic party and cast his first presidential vote for Grover Cleveland in 1884. He and his family attend the Seventh Day Adventist church, at Clearmont, and are held in high regard by their neighbors and many friends.
