Obituary: Wood County, Wisconsin: George Alfred SCOTT

From the Wood County Reporter [Grand Rapids, Wood County, Wisconsin],
Thursday March 11, 1897, Page 4
George Alfred SCOTT was born in Wingham, England, August 5, 1829. He came
to America in 1850 settling in Maumee City, Ohio, in June of that year.
There in 1854 he married Miss Margaret HELT, his faithful companion and
helper. Of this union ten children were born, all but two of whom are still
living. To these Mr. SCOTT was a faithful father, and his burden was made
lighter by the presence of five of them in his closing days.
Mr. SCOTT with his family came to Wisconsin in 1870, locating at Appleton
where for five years he was superintendent of the Appleton Woolen Mills. On
leaving this position, he moved to Lawrence near Westfield, where he was
engaged in business until a series of misfortunes deprived him of his
property. Late while employed at his usual labor in New Rome whither he had
moved from Lawrence, he was stricken with paralysis. Partially recovering
from this trouble he labored on though weakened, until three years ago he
was again stricken. Since that time his strength has gradually failed.
Since making his home in Nekoosa in July 1895, it had been hard for him to
realize that his years of strength were gone. Yet he patiently submitted to
the demands of his disease and quietly awaited the end, which came
peacefully March 4, 1897. He gave to indifferent citizens a lesson in
patriotism where at the last election, though too weak to walk, he was
driven to the polls where he cheerfully and proudly cast his ballot.
When leaving Ohio, Mr. SCOTT brought with him a letter from the M. E.
Church. By various circumstances he was kept from presenting it though he
carefully preserved it. He was a believer in Christ and his salvation. To
his children and friends he has left a rich heritage of a life of trust,
and has emphasized by his experiences the life of perseverance, patience
and submission. As the end drew near he called to be taken to his home. And
who shall say that he was not thus longing for his heavenly home? The
funeral was held on Monday in the M. E. Church at Westfield with burial in
the cemetery at Lawrence, where many of the old neighbors were gathered to
show their love for the departed friend. The services were conducted by
Rev. A. L. McClelland.
