Moses E. Scott, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Raleigh county, died at his home at Crow last Thursday after suffering from Bright's disease for about seventeen months, and was buried at Crow on Friday last, the funeral being largely attended by the many friends and relatives of the deceased, and the services being conducted by Rev Ritchie Ware, of the Beckley, Christian Church.
Mr Scott was born at Table Rock, this county, on December 18, 1846 and became a member of the Christian Church on May 18, 1859, being baptized by Rev Chester Bullard and remained a consistent member of that denomination up to the time of his death.
He joined the Union army during the last year of the civil war, serving until the close of hostilities, and was married on June 6, 1873, at Lovington, Ill, to Miss Tilly Watts and to them were born six daughters, May, Pine, Ivy, Vick, Birch and Lake, and one son, Robert, all of whom are residents of this county and all but the three last named being married. He is also survived by five brothers, James L Scott, of Emporia, Kansas, A J and Chester Scott, of Nebraska, T K Scott, postmaster at Beckley and Douglass Scott, of Crow, this county, and two sisters, Mrs Alice Williams and Mrs Sallie Beatty, both of Beckley.
During his service in the army he sustained a sunstroke, from which he never fully recovered, his final illness dating from November 3, 1907, when he was taken sick while on his way home from a visit to his brother, T K Scott, in this city.
Mr Scott, during his long and active life, had acquired a large circle of friends, to whom the news of his passing came with no less shock because it was not wholly unexpected, and the expressions of sincere regret for his death were numerous and heartfelt.
