Michael /. Scott was born near
hingwOod, Preston county, W. Va,
October 10. 1871. The period of life
leading up to young manhood was
passed i'll the ordinary, uneventful
manner, and need not be detailed
here. Early in his young manhood
Mr.. Scott engaged in the mercantile
business at Palatine, w. Va. In 1867
he was united in marriage with Sarah
j. Davis, daughter of the late Jos b.
Davis, and sister of Revs. J. NJ. Davis
and 5. w. Davis. Shortly after his
marriage, feeling the restrictions of Il
small village, and desiring a wider
field of labor, the deceased engaged
as a salesman with the firm of John
A. Horner X Co., Baltimore, Md.
This move to Baltimore, as after
events show, proved to be a most
unfortunate one for Mr.. Scott. In
| Une SUMMER OF lcIO, Wnlle pursuing
| his business he was overcome by the
intense heat and suffered sunstroke
which for time completely prOstra-
ted him and from the effects of which
he never wholly recovered. Up to
the time of this disaster Mr. Scott had
developed the sterner qualities and
talents necessary to a successful bust
ness career. He was an energetic.
progressive business man, standing
well with his employers, Messrs. Hor-
ner u Co., by whom he was regarded
as one of their very best statesmen
With great reluctance on the part OF
employers and employe, Mr.. Scott
was compelled to give up his promis.
