General Notes: Husband - John Scott

---

He received his education in Alexandria, Pennsylvania, in public schools and from private tutors. He studied law in Chambersburg, in the office of Hon. Alexander Thompson; was admitted to the bar in 1846 and located in Huntingdon, where he practiced law, and in 1857, was made an associate counsel of the Pennsylvania Railroad. While he resided in Huntingdon, he was one of the original incorporators, and a director of the Broad Top Railroad; Director in the First National Bank; Trustee of the Academy; an Elder in the Presbyterian Church and Superintendent of its Sunday School. In 1869 he was elected to the United States Senate from Pennsylvania and resigned the position of counsel to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in order to accept the Senatorship. At the expiration of his term in 1875 Mr. Scott was tendered the position of Secretary of the Interior in the Cabinet by President U. S. Grant, but preferring to return to the chosen work of his life, he declined the appointment and reentered the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad, removing to Pittsburgh in order to take charge of the legal business of the company lines west of Pittsburgh, organizing the legal department for those lines in June, 1875. In November, 1877, he was called to Philadelphia to take charge of the legal department of the P. R. R. as General Solicitor of that company and its allied lines. In Pittsburgh, Mr. Scott was made a member of the Board of Managers of the Western Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane at Dixmont, and a Director of the Western Theological Seminary. Soon after he went to Philadelphia to live he was made a member of the Board of Publication and Sabbath school work of the Presbyterian Church; a member of the Board of Ministerial Relief; Director and Trustee of Princeton Theological Seminary; a Trustee of the University of Pennsylvania; a Director of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. and of the Centennial National Bank. He was an Elder in the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia. In 1895 he retired from the office of General Solicitor of the P. R. R. Co.
