SCOTT R. TOWNSEND
The passing of Mr. Scott R. Townsend last Thursday night, February 23, 1922, at his home on Bayou Bartholomew, after a brief illness, caused his many friend in Bastrop to pause and bow in sadness and enviable. Mr. Townsend was a native of Mississippi, a member of one of the oldest and most prominent families of Hermanville, Mississippi. He was, for many years, Deputy Sheriff of Port Gibson and it was there that he met Miss Lottie Jones of Bastorp, who was attending Girl's Seminary and they were married, making their home near Bastrop on the Jones Plantation. Twice he moved back to Mississippi, but came back to Morehouse Parish each time, locating once in Wardvill and later making his permanent home on his plantation on Bayou Bartholomew.
Mr. Townsend was a man of very quiet habits and personality though always active in every good cause. He was a member of the Police Jury from Ward One. Early in life he became connected with the Methodist Church. Those who knew him best agree that one of the outstanding traits of his character was a beautiful devotion to his family.
Mr. Townsend's remains were brought to Bastrop Friday afternoon at 2:30 and a funeral took place in the new cemetery. Rev. G. A. Morgan conducted the service. Quite a large crown was in attendance despite the inclement weather. As his friends finished covering the grave with flowers, four white robed and hooded Knights of the Ku Klux Klan drove up silently and reverently laid on the grave an immense and beautiful red cross made of japonica and, after encircling the grave for a few minutes, as silently rode away.
Mr. Townsend is survived by his wife:
Lottie Jones Townsend
Two sons:
Robert Townsend
Henry Townsend
His brother:
Mr. McMerchant of Vicksburg, Mississippi
