He was the kind of a person who liked people and they found him to be pleasant, considerate and wholesome, an individual with an unusually attractive personality. 'Bud' Scott was the last of his generation of a well known, prominent family here. His forebears were successful in coal mine operations east of Cambridge back in the 1800s. They were among the pioneers in the industry here, and as they prospered so did this entire area. But 'Bud' Scott was a successful businessman in his own right. Years ago he acquired the W.B. Green Insurance Co., and as a result of his efforts, it became one of the leading agencies in this section. 'Bud' Scott worked hard, but he took time to enjoy his family and hobbies. He liked sports and received much pleasure in fishing and hunting with his friends, frequently going on trips to Canada with them. He also was interested in his church, in fraternal groups and was a devoted father and husband. In his death last week, Cambridge lost an esteemed citizen, a real gentleman."
