Children

General Notes: Husband - George Davis Scott


He was about eight years old when his parents moved on a farm in Canton Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and there he was reared. He attended the public schools and spent two terms at the old Buffalo Academy. He remained with his father on the farm until after his marriage in 1898, after which he rented farms until 1901, in Canton Township, when they moved to Hopewell Township. In 1904, after the death of Mrs. Scott's father, they came into possession of his place, which they had rented for three years. This farm was the land taken up by William Smiley at the time of his arrival there. Mr. Scott made a specialty of boarding horses for their owners in Washington, and usually had from 25 to 30 head all through the winter.
He and his wife were members of the Upper Buffalo Presbyterian Church and took an active part in its various branches of work. At one time Mr. Scott was one of the church trustees, while Mrs. Scott was long a member of the missionary society. In his political views, Mr. Scott was a Republican, but he always declined to serve in any public office.
