Cumberland County Kentucky Yesterday and Today, Ruth Wooten, p. 277, article submitted by Charles S. Guthrie
Abijah Guthrie died April 9, 1865, of internal bleeding following surgery for a large mole on his back. According to tradition, he sat on a chair under a tree in his yard while the physician removed the mole, which was connected to his body by only a small neck. Bleeding was so severe that the wound was cauterized with a hot iron. Internal bleeding then began and resulted in his death. He reportedly is buried in an old cemetery in the vicinty of Seventy-Six with a large fieldstone slab with the initials A.G. carved on it.
When the writer (Guthrie) visited the cemetery in the 1940's with Abijah's last surviving daughter, "Aunt Pink," we could not find it. The cemetery was grown up in trees and brush. Abijah is the ancestor of several Guthries and other people in the Cumberland and Clinton Counties.
