SCOTT.--Prof. Joseph G. Scott, son of the late Rev. Elihu Scott, and late Principal of the State Normal School at Westfield, Mass., died in Manitou Springs, Colo., May 9, 1889, aged 53. Mr. Scott had spent the winter in California, and was on his way home when he died suddenly from the effects of a sudden cold, which terminated in pleurisy and heart-failure. He leaves two sons--Russell L., teller at the First National Bank, and Frederick H., a member of the sophomore class at Wesleyan University. There are characters so symmetrical that they do not call out the enthusiastic praise which more unequal individuals do, who may have a few gifts outshining all others. They move on silently, unobtrusively, doing their great work without a thought of adulation, contented to feel they may have helped others to useful, happy lives. They are like the pure streams which flow on quietly, enriching the fields through which they move, until they are rich in verdure and bloom. Such was the character of Mr. Scott. At the mention of his name, affection and gratitude well up from many now grieving hearts. Few lives will be so missed, few men will be so mourned. He loved teaching, and chose the profession in early life. He taught in the Normal School at Westfield for thirty years. He loved science, and with his tendency for accurate investigation he enriched her domain with the treasures he discovered. He had the rare gift of imparting to his pupils the knowledge he had acquired, and of arousing in them eagerness in study. With a deep reverance for truth exaggeration always gave him pain. As a teacher, he was the peer of any. As a man, he was loyal in firnedship, unexacting, ready to give help, generous to a fault with his means, honest to a degree now almost mythical. To loving hearts all over this country will the tidings of this death give sadness. Mr. Scott had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for fifty years, and in all his church relations was characterized by faithfulness and helpfulness. His father was a member of the New Hampshire Conference, a Presiding Elder in two districts, and a member of four General Conferences. Rev. E. J. Scott and Rev. Nathan W. Scott, prominent members of the Vermont Conference were his uncles. The funeral of Mr. Scott was largely attended on Wednesday, May 15th. A memorial service was held in the Methodist Episcopal Church on the following Sunday afternoon. The Hon. M. B. Whitney presided; the Rev. Dr. G. M. Steele read Scripture and offered prayer; the Hon. M. B. Whitney, the Rev. J. H. Lockwood, the Hon. Thomas Knell, Dr. H. H. Miller, Principal J. C. Greenough, and the Rev. J. H. Bisbee made remarks; and letters were read from the Rev. L. H. Blake, Mr. A. P. Stone, and the Rev. Dr. Rice.
