September 4, 1906. "Riverton News" by Dr. S. C. Hatton. -- "Grandma Scott, of Slippery Elm, died at the home of her son, Steve, early Saturday morning and her remains were laid away Sunday afternoon. She had lived to a ripe old age and on the same place over 65 years. She had been blind for over 25 years and for the last two or three years almost helpless or at least needed a regular attendant. A host of friends were present at the last ceremonies. The bereaved have the sympathy of everyone." N.B.: Note that Dr. Hatton calls the neighborhood in which she lived "Slippery Elm". This was Dr. Hatton's favorite name for Pleasant Grove and he would refer to the neighborhood in this way, often with tongue-in-cheek, in his write-up of the Riverton news.--W.F.
