of years. Mr. Scott was a gentleman of refinement and cultureexceedingly kind and gentle in his intercourse with his fellow citizens. A devoted member of the Episcopal church, he lived a model Christian life. He never knew the taste of tobacco or whiskey and his habits were exemplary. Seven years ago, he lost his eye sight, and through these lonely years he maintained his remarkable sweetness
of disposition, and his presence was a benediction. A good man has gone to his reward.
