The Funeral and Obituary of Quincy Scott

Corydon, Ia., Times-Republican of February 2: Funeral services for Q. A. Scott were held Sunday afternoon, Jan. 29, at the New York Church of Christ, conducted by J. N. Sours, pastor of the Corydon Christian church.

The following members of the family from out of town were in attendance at the services: Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Jones and William C. Scott of Peoria, Ill., and Miss Loza Scott of Sheridan, Wyo.

The following obituary was read at the services:

John Quincy Adams Scott, the son of J. Randolph and Asenath Hicks-Scott, was born August 10, 1850, near Washington, Tazewell county, Illinois, and died January 24, 1928, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Jones and his brother William G. Scott, 205 North Douglas street, Peoria, Ill., where he and his wife had gone to make their home.

Mr. Scott grew to manhood and was educated in the common and select schools of Illinois. In February, 1879, he moved to Corydon, Wayne county, Iowa, where he was numbered among her honest, prosperous and progressive farmers.

On October 26, 1882, he was married to Lucy J. Hatfield, a daughter of James H. and Matilda J. Hatfield of Corydon. To this union four children were born, two of whom preceded their father to the great beyond, Imogene I., October 27, 1904, and Torcie T., March 20, 1925.

Mr. Scott suffered a second paralytic stroke last June, the first having fallen on him in 1922, from which he had so far recovered as to be able to get about, when a continuance of this ailment came last Monday at midnight, producing unconsciousness, and he passed peacefully away on Tuesday at one-twenty p.m.

The lineage of Mr. Scott was truly early American; several of his ancestors held office in the colonies prior to 1776. Others of his ancestors assisted in winning the freedom of our nation from the Mother country, including Lieut. Arthur Patterson, James Patterson and Major Hugh Scott, the latter having owned land next to the field where the Civil war battle of Gettysburg was fought. The lineage also traces back to royalty in Scotland, to Kenneth McAlphin, first Kind of Scotland, and Princess Margaret Kennedy, wife of Robert III of Scotland.

Mr. Scott leaves to mourn his departure his wife; one daughter, Miss. Loza A. Scott of Sheridan, Wyo., one son, Wallace R. Scott of Millerton, Iowa, a granddaughter, Charlotte M., of Corydon, Ia.; two sisters, Mrs. Anna M. Tobias and Miss Emma J. Scott of Washington, Ill.; two brothers, Lincoln R. of Denver, Colo.; and William G. of Peoria, Ill., and other relatives and a host of friends.
