March 21, 1875 he was united in marriage to Sarah Ann Elliott. Ten children were born to them, of whom two died in infancy. The living are Mrs. L.D. Brown, Ames, Charles Ambrose Scott, Thomas Wesley Scott, Mrs. Bert Scott, Vevada. Luther Scott, Mrs. Fred Bunning, Benkelmen Neb., Warren Scott, Murrel Scott, Mrs. Ed Arveson, Colorado Springs, Colo. These with the mother, two brothers: Samuel Scott, Portland, Ore.,David Scott, LaPorte City, two sisters, Mrs. JohnBallard, Cambridge, Mrs. Elmas Brown, Sanborn, Minn. thirty-two grandchildren and five great grandchildren mourn his death. Mr. Scott has spent all of his life in the farm. He belonged to that early group of pioneers who cleared the timber and broke the praire sod for the more modern civilization. Since he came to this section two generations have come and gone. Those whom he knew in childhood and youth, most of them have moved out of the community or have been called by death. He was the father of a large family. A host of loved ones were ever near. For half a century his companion journeyed the pathway of the pioneer with him. Now she must journey the rest of her earthly pilgrimage alone. And yet not alone for four generation share her sorrow and can bring her the ministry of earthly comfort and consolation.
