General Notes: Husband - John Vincent Scott

---

His early life was evidently such as to develop his self-reliance and practical qualities, for he was only a young man when he undertook the responsibilities of a farm of his own, settling on the place in Clinton Township which became his perma-nent home in 1852. The place comprises eighty-six acres, all of which was then heavily timbered, and unimproved in any way, the various buildings having been erected by him as his means allowed and his work required. The barn was built in 1876 and the house in 1879, the original dwelling having been destroyed by fire. Mr. Scott became a very prosperous farmer, and also for many years dealt in beef, pork and poultry, making regular trips to Franklin and Oil City, where he knew practically all the population. His reliability enabled him to build up a steadily increasing trade as long as he continued this business, which augmented his income considerably. [HVC 1919, 835]

He was a devout member of the East Unity United Presbyterian Church, two miles distant from his home, and a regular attendant at services, having missed only two communions there in sixty years. He was zealous in the work of the congregation and supported all its enterprises with his means and influence. Originally a Democrat in politics, his convictions carried him eventually into the Prohibition Party, in whose principles he believed ardently. He and his wife reared their grandson, Samuel Mert Stewart. [HVC 1919, 836]

Buried in the East Unity Presbyterian Cemetery are:
Linnie Scott, died April 16, 1875, age 13y 3m 25d
Marion Scott, died June 9, 1851, age 1y 2m 11d
Rinaldo G. Scott, died Feb 13, 1861, age 1y
These may be children of this family.

She was a capable helpmate to her husband, having early become accustomed to the responsibilities of family and home. She was but fifteen years old when her mother died, leaving five children, and as the eldest she cared for them until they grew up. [CAB, 836]
