Fremont & Adelia Scott came from Colorado along with his parents, a brother Washington, and four children in 1890. The settled for 4 years near the Camp Clark bridge, which was the only bridge to span the Platte River in Western Nebraska at that time. They moved on to the Henry Haig farm in Lower Mitchell Valley where Fremont farmed for Mr. Haig. Here the children attended the Haig School which was just across the road from their log home. Adelia was an excellent seamstress and stitched by hand all the clothing for the four girls including beautiful wedding gowns for them. The girl's friends, upon seeing their gown, wanted one just like it, so Adelia obliged by stitching away into the night by the light of a kerosene lamp.
Fremont worked on the new Gering ditch and earned money to help pay for a farm a mile south of Gering. He he built a two story house in 1903 which is now occupied by Melvin Schmidt. By then, three more children had been added to the family. While here, the parents, Ezekiel and Ruth Scott, for who Adelia had been caring, passed away and are buried in Gering's West Lawn Cemetery. Fremont's farm was a very productive one as the crops could be watered from the Gering ditch which was completed about 1902.
The Scotts moved into Gering in 1913 and rented the farm to their son-in-law, Alvah Leonard , for several years. Fremont was jailer and janitor at the old brick couthouse which stood in the center of what is now the Legion Park. He was also a realtor and worked during campaign at the Sugar Factory. Many of their descendants still live in the Gering area. Their son, Emery, married Faye Callaham whose parents were early day settlers in Banner County. Daughters, Rosie married Alvah Leonard; Daisy married Emerson Ewing; Ruby married Bert Scott, thus did not change her last name; Pansy married Charles Gering; Violet married Nona Yates; Pearl married Harry Hood; Harold married Bessie Nelson.
The brother Washington, and wife Mary lived in Scottsbluff during their last years and he was a member of the first Volunteer fireman's group there.
Fremont and Adelia helped organize and build the first Baptist Church in Gering. The remodeled building still stands as a church at the corner of 11th and ( St. Their Gering home was at the corner of 12th and O st. but was torn down years ago. Fremont died in 1930 and Adelia in 1943. Both are buried in Gering's West Lawn Cemetery. There are now some members of six generations of the Scott family buried in this cemetery.###

FREMONT SCOTT. — The men who may
most confidently be depended upon to build up
the substantial structures of business in any
community are those who have a varied ex-
perience to fall back on. By the light of
their experience, often painfully gained, they
are able to plan successfully for the future.
One of the experienced and representative
businss men of Gering is Fremont Scoit, who
has the real estate situation well in hand in
the Panhandle of Nebraska. He has been a
resident of the state since his fifteenth year
and to the unusual opportunities offered to
those seeking them, in both past and present
Nebraska, he attributes much of his success
in life, although his friends are not slow in
calling to mind his personal efforts that made
these opportunities fruitful.
Fremont Scott was born January 15, 1857,
in Shenaugo county, New York, the son of
Ezekiel G. and Ruth (Wilcox) Scott, both of
whom were bom and reared in the Empire
state. They came to Wisconsin in 1857 and
from that state Ezekiel Scott enlisted for serv-
ice in the Union army during the Civil War.
Shortly after becoming a soldier he was taken
sick and was so seriously ill that he had to
be brought home on a stretcher. After re-
covery he resumed his former pursuits, being
a man of education, and continued to live in
Wisconsin until 1872, when, accompanied by
his family with one team, he came to Nebras-
ka, driving across country in pioneer style, and
homesteaded in Hamilton county. While liv-
ing there he is credited with killing the last
buffalo that was slain in Nebraska. Later he
moved to Phillips county, Colorado, where he
remained eight years. In March, 1894, he re-
turned to Nebraska and settled in Scottsbluft'
county and here both he and his wife lived
the rest of their lives. The latter was a mem-
ber of the Presbyterian church. Of their
seven children but two survive, Washington
and Fremont, both of whom reside in Scotts-
bluff county.
Fremont Scott completed his public school
course after coming to Nebraska. His boy-
hood and early youth were spent on a farm.
Forced by circumstances to depend upon his
own efforts, he developed sturdy qualities
which have been useful to him ever since, un-
dergoing as have other self-made men a disci-
pline not altogether to be deplored. His first
purchase of land was a tract held at $10 an
acre, and he earned the money to pay for it
by working at ditching. That was the nucleus
of his present valuable farm of four hundred
and twenty acres, which lies in Scottsbluff
county. To farming and allied pursuits he
devoted himself until 1913, in which year he
came to Gering. Here he einbarked in the
real estate business and his interests now cov-
er a wide territory, particular attention being
given to lands in Scottsbluff county and east-
ern Wyoming.
In 1878 Mr. Scott was united in marriage
with Miss Adelia Florence Moore, who was
born in Almakee, Iowa, and they have the fol-
lowing children : Rosie, the wife of Alvee
Leonard, residing on Mr. Scott's farm :
Daisey, the wife of Emerson Ewing, of Carter
Canyon, Scottsblufif county ; Ruby Lillian
who married Bert Scott, a farmer near Mitch-
ell, Nebraska ; Violet, the wife of Zonoua
Yates, a farmer south of Gering; Pansy, the
wife of Charles Gering, of Gering; Emery G.,
a farmer and stockman on a ranch in Banner
county ; and Pearl and Harold, both of whom
are at home. All the children have hid excel-
lent educational advantages. Mr. and Mrs.
Scott are members of the First Baptist church
at Gering. Fraternally he is a member of the
Modern Woodmen order. Like his father
before him, Mr. Scott has always been a sound
Republican and at different times has served
vi'ith great public satisfaction in important
county offices. For four years he was in charge
of the county jail and also was deputy sheriff
for some time. ###
