Local Citizen Drops Dead Monday Noon
This community was deeply shocked and grieved to learn that J. W. Scott had dropped dead Monday noon near his home in the south part of Kirwin. Mr. Scott had gone over to the old Dr. Johnson property to cut down a tree. About noon Mrs. Scott looked out of the window and noticed him standing erect by the tree and apparently gazing toward the heavens. Just a short time later when she again looked from the window, she saw him face down in the snow. After running to his aid, Doctor Rose was called, and it was found that death had been very sudden.
Mr. Scott was a highly respected citizen and had served as sexton, marshal and constable for many years. He had a high degree of respect for the law. The editor will always remember the fine service Mr. Scott rendered to the band when he was marshal about 1925. He was always on hand at every rehearsal, had the building clean and warm, and was a real booster for the band.
Mr. Scott was a peace officer in this community from shortly after he came here until his death.
