Norwich, [Chenango Co., NY] March 2 - A cablegram received on Tuesday morning announced the death of Warren L. Scott at Hamilton, Bermuda, where he went about a month ago in search of improved health. Death occurred at an early hour on Tuesday morning, the message announcing the event having been sent by Henry R. Follett, son-in-law of Mr. Scott, who, with Mrs. Follett, sailed for Bermuda from New York city Saturday last, arriving there shortly before the death of Mr. Scott. Deceased was 71 years of age, having been born in Allegany county, New York, May 16, 1835, the son of Alfred and Anna Scott. A common school education and two years in the academy constituted his preparation for the battles of life. When he had finished the course in the academy he put his knowledge to good use by teaching school for eight terms. The after clerking in the store of his uncle at Friendship, N.Y. for a period, he engaged in the grocery business on his own behalf in that town, remaining in business for a year and a half. After a year spent in Kent, O., he became a resident of Chenango county, in 1866, locating in Norwich, where for 15 years he enjoyed a large trade in the grocery business. At the same time he also had a clothing store and was conducting a lumber business in which he embarked in 1877. For a number of years, having sold his other interests, he had been engaged in the sale and supplies, having a large factory at the foot of Lackawanna avenue. Some two years ago the business was formed into a stock company, Mr. Scott holding a large portion of the stock and being made the president of the Board of Directors. Deceased is survived by two daughters, Mrs. E.B. Olmstead, wife of Rev. E.B. Olmstead, of Knoxville, Tenn., and Mrs. Henry Follett, and by one son, John P. Scott, the latter two of this village. The body left Bermuda on a steamer due to sail Thursday and is expected to arrive in New York city Saturday, probably reaching Norwich on Sunday. Mr. Scott went to Bermuda for a few months stay hoping the climate would prove beneficial to his health. On the passage from New York, which was a very rough one, he was precipitated down the stairway of the ship and sustained a broken shoulder and severe bruises. The reports received at different times showed that he was improving and the news of his death came as a shock to his many friends in this vicinity. [The Saturday Globe, March 3, 1906]∼Warren L.
