Born in Walnut township, Appanoose county, Iowa, September 14, 1862, and died December 3, 1926. He received his education in the rural and grade schools, and when he was twenty-five years of age he was united in marriage with Miss Laura Campbell. Thirty-one years ago Mr. and Mrs. Scott moved to a forty-acre farm and garden in Clarkdale and lived there until Mr. Scott's death. Mr. Scott first held local offices, such as school director and township trustee, and in 1916 he ran and was elected to the office of representative in his county. In 1918, 1920 and 1922 he was re-elected. In 1924 he was a candidate for the state senate but was defeated. During the next election he announced his candidacy for representative again and was elected, but died before taking the oath of office, thus leaving the representative, D. Fulton Rice, who was still in office, to hold over under the constitution. Mr. Scott was a member of the Methodist church. He was a man of good character, and had a wide circle of friends. He had a broad sympathy for all people in every walk of life, which was one of the marked characteristics of Mr. Scott, and his devotion to duty, his loyalty to the interests of the people of his county, as he saw them, endeared him to the hearts of thousands of people who knew him and loved him. No man has ever doubted his honesty or his integrity of purpose.
