dock, near Pittsburg, Pa, August
1898, and was therefore in his sixty
| third year at the time of his death.
In early life he removed with his faith
er's family to Kentucky, and after
| ward to Bloomington, Ill. In the
spring of 1857 he came to Kansas Ter
ritory, engaging in business in the
new town of Olathe. In the spring OF
1858 he came to Allen county and
made his home with his brother, J. w.
Scott OH farm at Carlyle.
In October, 1861, he enlisted as a
private in Co. III of the 9th Kansas
Calvary, and was soon after made a
Sergeant. In June, 1862, he was pro-
NOTED to the rank of First Lieutenant
in the 3rd Indian (Cherokee) Regiment
i'm which capacity he served till the
close of the war, and was mustered
out with his regiment at Fort Gibson,
1. T. After his discharge from the
army he returned to Allen county and
settled and went into business in lola,
where he has since resided continuous
ly up to the time of his death.
April 3, 1866, he was married to Miss
Agnes Sims, of Jacksonville, Illinois,
who survives him, and together they
built up comfortable home for them
selves and their children. Besides
sundry private business enterprises i'm
which he was engaged, he occupied at
different times various official posi-
tons, the duties of which he always
discharged with strictest fidelity, and
to the general satisfaction of the pub
lie.
The deceased was never of robust
constitution, and his four years. sery-
ice in the army so shattered his health
that he has ever since been more or
less an invalid, and during the last
six or eight years has not been able to
engage in any regular business. He
was for many years a member of the
Presbyterian church, and also of the
Masonic order and of McCook Post G..
A. r., both of which latter joined in
his funeral obsequies.
The deceased leaves, besides his
widow, two children, both growth
Frank who is now a trusted employee
of the Wells Fargo Express Company
in the City of Mexico, and Alice at
home with her mother.
Although man of pronounced
views on all subjects, and very out
spoken i'm the expression of his opin-
ions, he seldom gave offense and has
probably not an enemy i'm the whole
community. 1t may be truly said of
him that he was a good soldier, a good
citizen, and that in all the relations of
life his conduct was without fear and
without reproach. ~
