George and Alta (Smith) Scullin were natives of Michigan and Pennsylvania, respectively. They were among the pioneer settlers of Freeborn county, settling on an eighty acre farm in Oakland township, in 1869, which the father operated up to the time of his death, January 27, 1899. The mother passed away March 26, 1907.

MRS. ALTA SMITH SCULLIN.
Death came swiftly to Mrs. Alta Smith Scullin at about 7:45 Monday night. In company with Mrs. Nels Jensen and Mrs. Harry Mathews she was on her way to a meeting of the Eastern Star Lodge. As the ladies were passing by the North Star Dairy station, Mrs. Scullin was laughing over a joke one of the party had played upon her. With laughter on her lips she fell to the walk. The ladies thought she had fainted and she was removed to Mr. Dibble's home and Dr. Allen summoned. Before he got there Mrs. Scullin was dead.
Alta Smith was born at Novi, Mich., where she lived until her marriage to George Scullin of Oakland. She resided in Oakland where Mr. Scullin was a farmer for 28 years and removed to this city after his death which occurred nine years ago. She was a member of the Baptist church and Unity Chapter Order of Eastern Star.
Mrs. Scullin was a woman of the sunniest dispositions. Kindness was a strong characteristic of her nature and won for her a host of friends. Her health prevented her from taking as active a part in church and lodge work as she desired but she gave of her strength to all good causes. For the past three years she has known that she had heart trouble but she never complained. She died as she had often told her friends she expected to be called. At the time of the sudden death of her brother, D. B. Smith, she said that when her time should come she would die as suddenly. She had rather hoped for a sudden call than the lingering bed of illness. She had had no premonition Monday, or if she had she had said nothing about it. At supper time she entertained her grandson George who was a great favorite with her and made all her plans for attending the Eastern Star meeting.
She leaves two sisters, Mrs. Mary Crosby of Farmington, Mich., and Mrs. A. E. Green of Walled Lake, Mich. She also leaves four sons, Arthur, who is a railroad mail clerk, John, who works at Aberdeen, S. D., Warner a railroad mail clerk, and Frank, who is attending school.
