General Notes: Husband - Henry J. Scott


He supplemented the training which he received in the public schools of Summerville, Pennsylvania, by taking an effective course in a business college in the city of Pittsburgh, and became a teacher, to which profession he devoted several years, a portion of the time in his native county and for an interval in the state of Wisconsin, where he maintained his residence about two years. After his retirement from service as a pedagogue Mr. Scott assumed the superintendency of a lumber company at Brookville, and after several years of service with that concern became bookkeeper for Miles Dent, a noted lumber manufacturer, at Dents Run, where he continued to be thus engaged for some time. At that place he then engaged in the general merchandise business, and after conducting a store about three years sold the business and returned to Brookville, where in 1892 he became one of the organizers and incorporators of the Brookville Manufacturing Company, of which he was chosen secretary. Besides this he served also as general manager of the company for about a decade. The company manufactured wagons of various kinds, with a plant thoroughly modern in equipment and other facilities. Mr. Scott was also one of the organizers of the Brookville Title & Trust Company, and served as a member of the directorate of that financial institution.
Though he was a stanch adherent of the Democratic party, he had no desire for political office. He was prominently identified with the Masonic fraternity and was deeply appreciative of its history and teachings. He was affiliated with Hobah Lodge, No. 276, F. & A. M., and Jefferson Chapter, No. 225, Royal Arch Masons, both of Brookville; with Bethany Commandery, No. 83, K. T., at DuBois, Clearfield County; and at Altoona, Blair County, he was enrolled as a member of Jaffa Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., which he represented as a member of the committee for the district in the jurisdiction of the Temple mentioned.
