Prominent Seattle Man Has Passed Away
Col. Simon Winfield Scott, for more than a quarter of a century one of the best known business
men in Seattle, died yesterday afternoon at his residence, 325 Fifteenth Avenue. Death resulted
from illness following a stroke of paralysis that occurred in May. The deceased was 74 years
old.
Col. Scott had been general land and tax agent with the Pacific Coast Company for the last
sixteen years. He also occupied the same position with the Oregon Improvement Company.
Col. Scott organized the Seventh New York Regiment and commanded it in many
engagements (sic) of the Civil War. After the war he was an Indian agent on the Sioux
reservation.
Col. Scott was custodian of Chief Joseph after the capture of that Indian warrior by Gen.
Miles. After resigning from the government service, Col. Scott came to Seattle and at once took
an active part in the business development of the city.
Col. Scott was a member of the John F. Miller Post, G.A.R., and the Sons of the American
Revolution. A son, W.D. Scott, residing in New York City, and two grandchildren, Maurice
and Deyo Scott, residing in Seattle, and two brothers in Minnesota survive him. Funeral
services will be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning in the Bonney-Watson chapel. Interment
will follow in Lake View cemetery. (Seattle Times Daily, p. 4, cols. 1-2. Thu, July 19, 1906)
