General Notes: Husband - Finley Scott

---

He was born on the “Hanover Farm” in Smith township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, receiving a common-school edu­cation. In early youth he learned the black­smith's trade with Josiah Scott, of Burgettstown, which he followed until 1852, when, with his brother James and a few others, he started for California. They traveled to New York, then took passage to Aspinwall by the steamer “Eldorado;” they crossed the Isthmus, walking the last twenty-one miles, and upon arriving at Panama one of their number was attacked with the “Isthmus fever.” He soon was able to continue the journey, and they sailed for San Francisco on the steamer “J. L. Stevens,” but when opposite San Pedro bay, the steamer was disabled. Assistance was soon brought from San Francisco, but not long after reaching the end of their journey, William Shields, the sick companion, died and was buried at San Francisco. Finley Scott proceeded with his friends from San Francisco to Eldorado county, and fol­lowed mining with fair success. Mr. Scott after­ward worked at his trade in California, but eventually returned to Burgettstown, Washington County.
He and his wife began married life in Burgettstown, where he followed his trade till 1866, and then moved to a farm about one mile and a half northwest of that borough, in Smith township. In 1881 he removed to a pleasant home, situated on the Florence road two miles from Burgettstown. He then divided his time be­tween his trade and agricultural pursuits, shipping some milk to Pittsburgh. Personally Finley Scott was considered a very pleasant and entertaining conversa­tionalist, and was a popular and respected citizen. In politics he was a Democrat. Both he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church at Burgettstown.
