Leslie Guthrie (1918-2018) was born Oct. 5, 1918 in Swift Current and grew up in Eston, Sask., and mostly in Saskatoon. He began working for the Star Phoenix as a paperboy before working part time on the sports desk, beginning in ca. 1936. He served during the Second World War, from 1940-1943 but did not go overseas, after which he worked for the Canadian National Railway in Saskatoon and Regina until 1946, when he was hired as the Star Phoenix circulation representative in North Battleford, which also included delivering the afternoon edition of the paper from Saskatoon. He retired in 1982.

Lester Alexander William Guthrie was born on October 05, 1918 on a homestead northwest of Swift Current Saskatchewan. Not long after Les and his family moved to Eston Saskatchewan when his father was hired as the head of a livery barn. They resided in Eston for the next six years and then moved on to Saskatoon where Les received his formal education. In 1937 Les was hired on at the sports desk at the Saskatoon Star Phoenix newspaper and worked there until he joined the army in 1940. Les spent his entire army time in Saskatchewan until he was discharged due to medical reasons in 1942. Les then took on work with the Canadian National Railway (CNR) for a period of time before returning to the Star Phoenix as a circulation manager for the North Battleford region in 1946. He remained on with Star Phoenix for thirty-six years, until his retirement in 1982. During this time it was Les' job to drive to Saskatoon on a daily basis to pick up the papers and distribute them to the various centers in the Northwest. In total Les drove over 1,450,000 miles in his career and did so without a single accident or ticket. Since it was his job to distribute the papers to the Battlefords, Les thought that it would be good to have some content in the paper about the Battlefords. This caused Les to take a correspondence course in photography and this is what began the Les Guthrie collection. Les' photos have been published by the Star Phoenix, the Canadian Press and TIME magazine. Outside of his work Les was an active member of the North Battleford community and was involved in all types of activities including: Sea Cadet, Masons, Kinsmen, Navy League, North Battleford Swim Club (manager), minor hockey (coach), North Battleford Speedskating (coach). Les' hobbies aside from photography include curling and bowling.

Stanley Gutheridge was born in England in 1873. Correspondence indicates his siblings were named Hamond, Laura and Mabel. Stanley received his early education at Falmouth British School. In 1894 he obtained a second class in the advanced stage certificate in applied mechanics. In 1899, in London, England, Stanley married Florence Jane (surname unknown). They had three children, Leonard, Hilda and Stanley Herbert “Hub”. The family came to Canada in 1910 to a farm near McLean. In 1912 they settled in Moose Jaw at 913 Caribou St. West.
Stanley was employed by Robin Hood Mills as an operating engineer and machinist. He left that employment in 1915 and it appears he went to Scotland for the remainder of that year, as there are health insurance cards and an unemployment book in his name, issued in Renfrew Scotland. From spring 1916 to July 1918 and again from August 1919 to May 1930 he was employed as an operating engineer at the City of Moose Jaw Power Plant. In 1930 the plant was acquired by the National Light & Power Company Ltd. In May 1932, due to the Depression, many employees, including Stanley were laid off.
From February 1933 to November 1933 he was temporarily employed at the Saskatchewan Co-Operative Creamery in Moose Jaw. In December 1933 he wrote exams and successfully obtained a Refrigerating Engineer’s Certificate. In the 1940's he was employed again at the Saskatchewan Co-Operative Creamery.
Stanley passed away on September 26, 1949. Florence passed away on Jan 6, 1955. They are both buried in Moose Jaw.
