Horace Hall Scott was born in Dyer County, Tennessee, October 1, 1882, the son of Thomas Elihu Scott (well-known gospel preacher who did much to help establish the cause of Christ in West Tennessee and to render great service in stemming the tide of digression around the turn of the century) and Artie Jane Hall Scott, (an aunt of the late, beloved W. C. Hall, former president of F-HC). Brother Scott obeyed the gospel in early life and spent his entire life in West Tennessee. His wife, the former Jessie Midyett, of Kenton, preceded him in death by thirteen years. Although physically incapacitated the past few years through infirmities of age, he was an inspiring example in his regularity of attendance at all services until almost the end of his life, affectionately attended by his devoted daughter-in-law, in whose home he lived. His exemplary life, his Christian family and the contribution of a son and grandson as gospel preachers leaves a rich heritage. He died Friday night, March 12, in Jackson, Tenn. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Annie Maude Brown, Guntown, Miss., and Mrs. Janie Sue Green, Yorkville, Tenn.; his daughter-in-law, five grandchildren, and one great-grandson. Services were conducted from the Kenton church auditorium where he worshipped many years, on Sunday, March 14, 3:30 P. M., with Jess Wilcoxson, Richard England and the writer having part in the funeral hour. Singers were from the college choral groups. Burial was by the grave of his wife in Sunnyside Cemetery in Kenton. --Jettie E. Williams. Gospel Advocate, April 15, 1971, page 238.
