DEATH OF JOHN N. SCOTT
He Was a Brother-in-Law of Ex-
President Harrison.
John N. Scott, who was a brother of the first wife of Gen. Benjamin Harrison, is dead as [sic] Las Vegas, N. M. His death was caused by pneumonia. He was recently appointed claim and depredation agent for the State of Washington.
Mr. Scott was formerly a resident of Indianapolis. He came here from Ohio some time between 1856 and 1860 and engaged in the practice of law. He afterward went to Shelbyville and lived for a time, but returned to Indianapolis and was residing here in 1867, when he was elected to the office of police judge. He served one term before the Supreme Court declared the act creating this office unconstitutional. He was in the late war, serving as a captain in the Seventy-ninth Indiana Regiment. He was wounded in the battle of Stones river. He removed to Port Townsend, Wash., shortly before General Harrison was elected to the presidency. He held a government position under President Harrison. Mr. Scott leaves a widow and a son and daughter. He was fifty-eight years of age.
