Son of Edith Lemon Barter-Scott-Callender and adopted son of William Nelson Scott. Just before his seventh birthday Homer tragically drowned while playing with his friends in the Aptos Creek mill pond at the Loma Prieta lumber camp. The Loma Prieta lumber camp was located in what is now the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. Homer's sister, Agnes Scott, then a 5-year old child, as an adult still remembered seeing his body laid out in the parlor at her grandmother's house with coins over his eyes as the family prepared his body for burial.
Homer is buried in the Santa Cruz Memorial cemetery and shares a marker with John Edmund Lewis, who was the second husband of Homer's older half sister, Edith Barter-Teshara-Lewis-Cone. After John Lewis suddenly died of a heart attack in 1941, Edith buried him next to Homer and added Homer's name to the marker (any previous marker for Homer may have deteriorated as Lewis was buried 50 years later). Edith died in 1958 and is buried next to Homer and John Lewis.
