II. Scott, written at her old home in
Spring Green, Wis, in which she tells
of the death of her mother. When
Mrs. Scott arrived at her home her
mother was perfectly able to be
about in her usual way, and was busy
canning apples. She was very much
pleased to have Mrs. Scott with her,
for she had not seen her for several
years. and as every other mother and
daughter, they had so much to talk
about, and enjoyed each other as
only mother and daughter can. Mrs.
Scott had been with her for two
weeks, when she was taken suddenly
i'll. and only lived n few hours. The
sympathy of the many friends of the
Scott family in this community, ex-
tend most sincere sympathy in their
loss. The following obituary ap-

mentioned is we'll known here by old
timers, having lived here and at

ing married Miss Eva Dickson, who
