Jefferson City Peoples Tribune, December 3, 1873

Mrs. Elizabeth Scott died at her house in this city, on Monday, November 24, 1873, and was interred by the side of her husband, the late Judge Wm. Scott of the Supreme Court of Missouri, in the family burying ground at her former residence, about six miles above this city.

Mrs. Scott was born in 1810, in the State of North Carolina, and came with her father, Mr. Henry Dixon, Sr., to this county in 1832. She was married to Judge Wm. Scott in 1834, in this city, and made him a faithful, dutiful, affectionate wife.

Mrs. Scott was eminently a practical, domestic woman, devoting herself to the training of her children and the other duties which devolved upon her, as wife, mother and mistress.

She was greatly beloved by her neighbors for her kindness and unremitting attentions to them in times of sickness and distress. She was always ready to relieve the needy, and comfort those who were bowed down. Her patient kindness and affection for her children, endeared them greatly to her, and their loss is irreparable. Her large circle of relatives mourn for her as a sister lost, and her friends with one accord bear testimony that a good woman has gone to her rest.

Mrs. Scott was a consistent member of the Episcopal Church, and died in the consolation of the Christian's faith and hope.
