General Notes: Husband - William Scott

---

He was born in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. In 1864 he entered Princeton College and graduated from that institution in 1868. February 23rd, 1876, he registered with his father as a student for the study of law and later studied in the office of Knox & Reed in Pittsburgh, and on October 30th, 1878, he was admitted to practice. With Messrs. John Hampton and John Dalzell, he formed the law firm of Hampton, Dalzell & Scott. In 1887 it became the firm of Dalzell, Scott and Gordon, and was ranked as one of the leading law firms of Pennsylvania. For many years they handled the immense business of the Pennsylfania Railroad and of the Pennsylvania Company until that business became so heavy that it was necessary to divide it with another law firm. The firm of Dalzell, Scott & Gordon were the legal advisors in many of the most prominent and important cases in Pennsylvania, and in all test cases submitted to William Scott, he gave the benefit of his great legal knowledge and experience, conducting them fairly and honestly and he was never known to take an unfair advantage of his opponents. In June 1900 he was elected president of the State Bar Association, and he was a member of the Law Reform Committee of that Association. Although his time was valuable and the work onerous. Mr. Scott, for many years represented Allegheny County on the State Board of Examiners to examine applicants for admission to the bar. The Governor appointed him one of the Pittsburgh representatives to the Universal Congress of Lawyers and Jurists which held sessions at the World's Fair, St. Louis, September, 1904. As a Trustee of Shadyside Academy, Mr. Scott was not only a large financial contributor, but he also took an active personal interest in the welfare of the school. He was a member and a trustee of the Shadyside Presbyterian Church.
After a long and painful illness, from which he could find no relief, he passed away at his home on Bidwell Street, East End, Pittsburgh.
