SCOTT, well known to our Cecil readers, died at the Bethany Home, Pittsburgh, Monday morning, while undergoing what is known as the faith-cure for consumption. Her home was in Canonsburg until last February, when she went to Bethany Home to be cured of her disease by faith. The cure was not successful, and she died, it is said, without having any medical assistance before her death or during the time she was at the home. It is said that the cause of her rapid decline was a shock she received last winter in seeing a young man in a neighboring house commit suicide. Her parents are both dead, and when she lived at Canonsburg she made her home with Mrs. Ella LAWRENCE, who is also at Bethany Home, taking the same means to cure herself of consumption. As there was no doctor's certificate of death, and inquest was held. A witness of her death says: "At the last, when she felt that she was dying, she looked upward, seemed to catch sight of something the rest of us could not see, and said, "Take me quick." Those were her last words." The funeral services were held at Venice Tuesday afternoon. The interment was in the cemetery of the Miller's Run Presbyterian Church.
