Alexander Hutchison "Scotty" Connell was born in Galston, Ayrshire, Scotland in 1926 to Charles Brown and Lily (Hutchison) Connell.
As a young man in Scotland, he worked on the railroad, feeding coal into the locomotives while they moved along the track. He continued that work throughout World War II, as it was considered to be crucial to the war effort. But it was an exhausting and uncomfortable job, with the heat inside of the locomotive almost overwhelming at times.
After World War II, Scotty emigrated to the United States. He served in the US Army during the Korean War, afterward becoming an American citizen.
He married Letitia "Letty" Cuthbert in 1960, and they settled in Oak Park, Michigan, moving later to Livonia, Michigan. The photo at right, taken about 1975, shows Scotty and Letty dressed up for a special function.
Scotty worked for Ogden & Moffatt trucking company for many years. After Letty's death, he retired and moved first to Virginia, then later to Cape Coral, Florida, where he shared a home with special friend Pauline Elmore.
