from the Haviland Review, December 19, 1929:
"Ann Elizabeth Bowering was born in Lincolnshire, England, on November 24, 1851. When she was 10 years old, she braved the briny deep alone with her mother and smaller brother and sister and came to Griggsville, Illinois where her mother's father lived. Ann made her home with her grandfather until September 26, 1877, when she was married to James M. Scott. For several years, Mr. and Mrs. Scott lived in Griggsville, Illinois. During this time, their sons, Fred Wingfield and Harvey Benjamin, were born. In August 1884, the Scott Family started for Kansas. It took a great deal of courage and strength in those days to make such a journey, but they braved the hardships, and after a month of travel, arrived in Pratt. At Pratt, they lived in a two-room house for nearly two months, during which time Ann cared for her husband and her elder son and two brothers of her husband, all of whom had serious cases of typhoid fever. Under her care, they all recovered except one of the brothers. In December of the same year, Mr. Scott went to their homestead south of Wellsford leaving his family in Pratt to follow him after he had prepared a home for them. Several days later with their two sons and a 17 year old brother of her husband, started in a wagon from Pratt for their new home. Before they had come far, a blizzard overtook them, and they were not able to follow the dim trail across the prairie. Ann worked hard with what wraps and bedclothes she had to keep her little boys from freezing. Finally, they saw a house and stopped to find out that they were at the Jones place east of Haviland. They bravely turned back to find the trial that they had missed. Her husband watched anxiously all evening from the roof of an old shed, but it was not until long after dark that they drove into the yard and were safely together again. The first years if their life in their new home were happy years, but there were many hardships and even dangers to be met. At one time, it was reported that Indians were invading the country. Mrs. Scott and the boys ran to a near by cornfield, and Mr. Scott and they boys stayed at the house to watch. Horsemen that they had seny and feared were Indians proved to be men from Pratt with rifles who had also heard of the Indian scare. They lived on their homestead until Mrs. Scott and her son Harvey moved to Haviland on November 19, 1920. Her older son, Fred, passed away on June 18, 1904, and her husband, James, died August 11, 1915. After Fred's death, his wife, Meda Scott and her daughter, Fredrie, lived with the Scott grandparents until Fredrie was 10 years old, when she and her mother moved to Haviland for school. Mrs. Scott continued in good health until April 1, 1928, when on her way home from church she stumbled and broke her arm. The broken arm healed, but she was never again completely restored to health. Since that time, she has been cared for by her son, Harvey, and her sister, Kate Fuson. Her last illness began last Saturday, December 7 in the evening, she suffered some Saturday night and Sunday morning but seemed very much better Sunday afternoon and visited cheerfully with her family and friends. Sunday night about 8:30 without any apparent suffering her left side became paralyzed, she became unconscious, remaining so until the last. Death came at 9:45 Tuesday night. Her passing away was very peaceful and without a struggle. She was always very devoted to her home and family. Her manner was always pleasant and cheerful, so that all who knew her loved her. She managed her home in a firm but gentle way. Never insisting on anything but always making people want to please her. Her life will always be a pleasant memory to her loved ones, and all can say that her influence was always, inspiring and encouraging to better things. She leaves a son, Harvey, daughter-in-law, Meda Scott, granddaughter, Fredrie, and sisters, Jane Parker of Wichita Falls, Texas and Kate Fuson of Bluffs, Illinois, who has been making her home here, brothers, Henry Bowering of Griggsville, Illinois, B.F. Thompson of Springfield, Ill., Charles E. Thompson of Denver, Colorado, D.W., Charles, and George, all of Liberal, Kansas, two step-brothers, Henry A. Thompson of Azusa, California and F.W. Thompson, of Liberal, Kansas."
