Guthrie, 32, of Calvin, was killed last Thursday after being thrown from a lumber truck when it went out of control about one mile south of the Goldonna Road on the Calvin-Gum Springs gravel, reports Winn Sheriff C. M. Robinson. Roy Mercer, Guthrie's brother in law, was driving the truck when the accident occurred.
