  Miss Alice S. Lott has been a resident of Monticello township for forty-six
years. She came to Johnson county when a girl of ten years and has seen many
changes here, and may very appropriately be numbered among the Johnson county
pioneers. Miss Lott was born at McClutcheonville, Wyandotte county, Ohio, in
1859, a daughter of Isaac and Mary M. (Kerr) Lott, natives of Pennsylvania who
removed to Ohio with their respective parents when quite young. In 1869 Isaac
Lott with his family came to Kansas, locating in Johnson county; he bought 200
acres of land in Monticello township, one mile east of Monti-cello, for which he
paid $10 per acre. Here he engaged in farming and stock raising and prospered,
and became one of the substantial and influential citizens of Johnson county. He
was a good neighbor, a kind husband and father and a stanch friend. He died
October 31, 1890, and his wife survived him nearly a quarter of a century and
passed away June 1, 1914, at the venerable old age of eighty-eight years and
nine months. Their remains are buried in the Monticello Union cemetery. They
were the parents of five children, two of whom died in infancy and the others,
all born in Ohio, are as follows: Alexander, born September 27, 1846, served in
the Civil war, lost an arm in the seige of Petersburg, and after the war taught
school in Ohio and Illinois and later came to Johnson county, Kansas, where he
also taught school, and in 1873 was elected to the office of register of deeds
and now resides in Kansas City, Mo.; Gibson, born October 12, 1851, and is now
connected with the Postal Telegraph Company and resides at Kansas City, Mo., and
Alice S., the subject of this sketch. Miss Lott was educated in the public
schools of Monticello township, attending school in the old rock school house,
near Monticello. Miss Lott is an estimable woman and during her forty-six years'
residence in Johnson county has made many friends and has a wide acquaintance.
She is well posted on current events and has a broad knowledge of affairs.
