General Notes: Husband - Robert P. Scott

---

He grew to manhood in Butler County, PA, moving to the borough of Butler at the age of sixteen years, during his father's term as sheriff of the county. He was educated in the county and borough, and later studied under private instruction until entering Witherspoon Institute, in Butler. When war between the states could no longer be avoided, he enlisted, in September, 1861, in Company H, 78th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, serving with the Army of the Cumberland in many of its severest battles. He was honorably discharged and mustered out August 27, 1865. After the war he again attended Witherspoon Institute, finishing the course interrupted by his military service. For a time he followed railroad and steamboat employment, later taking up the study of law. He passed the required examination, and in 1870 was admitted to the Butler County bar. He began practice in Butler at once, and so continues most successfully. He has been admitted to all State and Federal courts of the district, and has business with them all. In 1870, early in his professional career, he became attorney for the Pennsylvania railroad at Butler, continuing until 1881, when he became attorney for the Baltimore & Ohio allied interests. He filled many appointments as special counsel, but beyond these his practice was general in character. He was a member of the Pennsylvania State and Butler County Bar Associations.
He had many outside interests, being connected with various commercial and banking institutions as a stockholder. He entertained the liveliest interest in his old comrades in arms; was past commander of A. G. Reed Post No. 105, and past commander of the Department of Pennsylvania, Grand Army of the Republic; also a member of the Union Veteran Legion, and of the Masonic order. He was a Republican in politics, and thoroughly informed on all public questions, but beyond serving on the county committee and sitting as a delegate in county, State and National conventions of his party, he accepted no public position. He and his family were members of the First Presbyterian Church of Butler, active in church and Sunday school work. [GPHWP, 68]
