GUTHRIDGE -- ?
J. G. GUTHRIDGE was born January 5, 1823, was married January 7, 1844, and died August 9, 1884 in the 62nd year of his age.  
Mrs. E. L. GUTHRIDGE, wife of J. G. GUTHRIDGE was born September 25, 1825, and died January 23, 1884 in the 59th year of her age.
Their married life was of over forty years duration. They were both members of  the church of the Disciples of Christ, at Cable, Ohio, for forty years. With the exception of one year spent in Indiana they lived all their lives in Champaign county. There were born to them eight sons, (two of whom died in infancy) and two daughters. The eight living children were all present at the obsequies of both father and mother. At the father's funeral the six sons, were the pall bearers, a very touching tribute of respect. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. William DOWLING, pastor of the Diciples of Christ, at Urbana. Those who knew them best, can best appreciate their virtues and will most keenly feel their loss. It can truthfully be said that they lived consistent Christian lives and died in the hope of a blessed life beyond the grave.

GUTHRIDGE -- ?
Died, at her home, in this city, Jan. 3, 1884, Mrs. Elizabeth GUTHRIDGE, wife of J. G. GUTHRIDGE, aged 58 years and 4 months. She was born in Wayne township, Champaign county, on the 22nd of September, 1825 having, with the exception of two years, spent her entire life in this county. She was the daughter of William MIDDLETON, of Rush township, who in his 83rd year, survives her, and is still hale and hearty. Her family, consisted of an affectionate husband, six sons and two daughters, all of whom are grown and, with the exception of the two youngest sons, married, deeply deplore the loss of a true, loving wife and a faithful, considerate mother; knowing however, that their loss is her gain, would not recall her had they the power to do so. At the age of fifteen she united with the Christian Church, being baptised by Rev. David HATHAWAY, who, although long since gathered in with the ripe sheaves, still lives in the memories of many of his former fleet.
During her last illness which was of several months' duration, she maintained the same patient submission to the will of the All-wise Father which had characterized her entire life during the forty three years of her fellowship with the church.
She died as she had lived, possessing firm faith in the protection of her Saviour. "She suffered long, but by that knowing all things best, and is most wise, brought sweet relief to her in the shape of death." A short time before her death she requested that she should be laid in Oak Dale Cemetery, that she might be near her family, as with the exception of two sons they all reside in Urbana.
Wife and mother now lies sleeping
In pleasant Oak Dale on the hill,
But in memory she will ever
Dwell within our family still.
Long she suffered, ere she left us,
She with patience bore it well.
Till death's angel came and took her
In her Father's home to dwell.
Sadly we shall miss and mourn her,
Miss the dear one that we love.
But we know that we shall meet her
In her home in Heaven above.
Father and Children
