April 1, 1910. "Mrs. Steve Scott Dead".-- The sad news reached Sidney yesterday morning of the death of Mrs. Steve Scott which occurred at the family home the previous evening about 10 o'clock. Death was probably due to uremic poisoning, though on this point medical opinion is at variance. Deceased was born in St. Joseph, Mo., and was about 45 years of age. She was married to Mr. Scott some 25 years ago. Besides the husband she leaves to mourn her loss four children, a son who has come into man's estate, a daughter who has reached the age of young womanhood, a little miss of about 5 years and another little girl one and one-half years old. Mr. and Mrs. Scott had just completed a commodious new home and were preparing to enjoy life in its fullest, but behold how swiftly the sands of life run; in such an hour as ye think not of the Son of Man cometh. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Christian church at Hamburg and the remains will be intered in Hamburg cemetery.

April 22, 1926. "Echoes From The Past".-- The other day D. W. Brown handed us some documents faded with age that tell of the glories of the past. One of these documents is an invitation to a grand cotillion party at the Cromwell House in Sidney on Wednesday evening, November 18, 1868. Managers were Henry Marble, Jacob Barnard and Wood Cozand and the floor managers were Alf Bonwell and Thomas Etling. Tickets, including the supper, were to cost $2.50. The other document is not quite as old and the names printed thereon will be remembered by many of the older Sidney residents. This is also an invitation to the opening of the quadrille season at Library Hall, Sidney, on Friday evening, September 10, 1880. Music was furnished by the Prof. C. A. Cowles string band. The floor managers were John W. Surles, William McComb, John Mann, A. S. Hurley and W. T. Davis. The committee on inviations was comprised of men from five towns: SIDNEY: D. W. Brown, A. S. Rockwell, Joe Van Eaton, James Coacher HAMBURG: P. P. Brown, C. P. Bogan RIVERTON: William Roberts, James Murray RANDOLPH: W. Blackman, Jess Wyatt PLUM HOLLOW: Lon Study, Walter Paul. Of the twenty four dances on the program, thirteen were quadrilles, one being ladies choice. The program also included four waltzes, three schottisches, one polka, one varsouvienne, a fireman's dance and a circillion circle. There are many of the older folks, who, on reading the above, will be moved to exclaim that "them were the good old days." They will all tell you that the old dances were the eel's earrings and that the Charleston is the bunk because you have to be a knock-kneed cripple to do it right. In these days of hectic jazz and hot stuff it is with a sigh of regret, that we acknowledge the passing of the days of real sport, yet with a hope that they will some day return.

(The FREMONT COUNTY HISTORY of 1881, page 644, says there were eleven children in all, but I have no further information.) N.B.: It would be a daunting task to write anything near a complete history of this family, even if you included only its Fremont county record. The family was here when Fremont county was a part of Holt county, Missouri; and then a part of Atchison county, Missouri; and then a part of Fremont county, Iowa from the time of the county's organization up to the present day. Its history should mention Fort Croghan, Fort Kearney, French Village, the Half Breed Farms Neighborhood (Judge J. C. Scott married August Vassow and Claudia LaFrombois), the Iowa-Missouri border dispute, the Mexican War, the Oregon Trail and the westward emigration, Missouri river steamboats, arrival of the telegraph, stage coaches, the South Tier, the Council Bluffs - St. Joseph emigrant road, the establishment of the county seat, John Brown and Jim Lane, the founding of Nebraska City and freighting across the western plains, the 1849 and the 1859 gold rushes...etc....etc....and that would take the author! of the Scott family history only up to the Civl War. The Hamburg Reporter of Jan. 2, 1941 says that Judge John Clark Scott's father was a cousin of one of the members of the famous Lewis and Clark team exploring the Lousiana Purchase. -- W.F.

Vol. III No. 10. May 2, 1895. Page 3 Col. 4.--OBITUARY. Died, -- April 25, 1895, John C. Scott, an old settler of Fremont county, who was well and favorably known throughout southwestern Iowa. He will be greatly missed in the community where he has so long been a resident. Mr.Scott possessed all the qualifications of a useful and honored citizen; kind hearted, sympathetic, honest in all his dealings, a man of good judgment, pleasant address and superior business faculties. He was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, August 30, 1813. In 1837 he was married to Malinda Call and in 1838 moved to Platt county, Missouri, and March 3, 1842, came to Fremont county and settled on the farm where he lived until the day of his death. He professed religion and joined the Christian church when quite young. He was the father of eleven children, five are dead and six living. His wife who has been blind for about fourteen years still lives to mourn the loss of a husband and five children. The suriving members of the family have the sympathy of the entire community. The writer was with the deceased a great deal during the last sickness and all that loving hearts and tender hands could do was done until he closed his eyes in the calm and peaceful embrace of death. His remains were laid in the Hamburg cemetery to await the call of the last day. The funeral was preached by Rev. Bennett of Farragut from II Corinthians, 5:1: "For we know that if our earthly house of his tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. -- JONAS PETTIT. N.B.: Note that this obituary says he settled on the farm on which he died on March 3, 1842. In the 1885 Iowa State Census for Washington township, he told the enumerator that he lived on north half of the southwest quarter of Section 26 Township 26 Range 42. This location is almost straight west of Riverton atop the loess bluffs, and just south of the Buckham cemetery, in a neighborhood known as Pleasant Grove. A contradiction can be found in the 1940 Iowa Press Association's WHO'S WHO for Fremont county when Fred Lincoln Johnson (husband of a granddaughter, Marie Elizabeth Scott) claims her grandfather Scott settled in McKissick's Grove, an area east of Hamburg. There is litle doubt in my mind but that Johnson mispoke.--W.F. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
