General Notes: Husband - Samuel Scott
He spent some time in the West before his marriage, and for a few years had kept bachelor hall, he and his young wife settling on the old Alexander Lemon farm, a tract of 106 acres which he purchased and which he had to develop almost from primitive conditions. An old log house stood on the place, but the land was thickly covered with brush which he had to clear off by hard labor before he could put in any crops, and he set vigorously to work to improve it, spending the rest of his active years in that occupation. He prospered so well that he added fifty-two acres to the original area, and built a substantial house and barn, putting up the fine brick residence which now stands there in 1871. At the time it was as fine a house as the township boasted. He burned the brick, hauled the necessary lumber some thirty miles, from Forest County, the trip requiring two days, and roofed it with split pine shaved shingles, looking well after all the details of its construction. Mr. Scott bought Shorthorn stock, and with three or four other men of his kind was instrumental in introducing thoroughbred Durham cattle into the neighborhood. Though he never held any public office he was thoroughly alive to everything that concerned the general welfare and worked toward securing it. Though most of his family were Democrats in politics he supported the Republican Party after its organization, and was one of the early advocates of the Prohibition cause in his locality. His religious connection was with the United Presbyterian Church. [HVC 1919, 790]
