GRANDMA SCOTT
The Silent Messenger from the other shore called Tuesday morning, March 4, 1913,
about 3:00 o'clock for Grandma SCOTT. He found her ready and waiting to go. In
fact, to her death was a relief from this world of suffering, and simply a
passing to the better home above. While all that loving hands could do for her
comfort, was done, nevertheless the closing years of her life were years of
suffering, caused by the fact that she had been helpless for some time, and to
this affliction was added that of a loss of sight.
	Narcissus SCOTT, daughter of Benjamin and Phoebe HULL, was born in Mercer
county,m Pennsylvania, November 18, 1828, and was 84 years, 3 months, and 4 days
old. She was one of a family of nine children, all having preceded her but two
sisters, Mrs HARRAH of La Rue and Mrs EATON of Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
	On May 20, 1847, she was united in marriage to James SCOTT, and to this union
eight children were born. They made their home at Marseilles, Ohio, until the
year 1879, when they came to Kansas and located on a homestead north of
Greenleaf. In this locality she has lived ever since. In 1890 her husband
departed this life.
	Placing her trust in the Lord, Mrs SCOTT united with the Christian church when
fourteen years of age, and during all the years that followed, her faith in her
God has never wavered. She was always cheerful and spent her life ministering to
others, and many there are who cll her blessed because of her kindness to them.
A life of the fondest remembrances has passed before us. She was one of the best
neighbors and friends we have ever known. Above all, she had the welfare of her
children at heart. She is survived by a family of six children. They are Mrs J R
PRUDEN of Washington, Kansas, B F SCOTT of Kenton, Ohio, J H SCOTT of
Independence, Mo., H L SCOTT, Wm SCOTT, and C N SCOTT of Greenleaf.
	Impressive funeral services were conducted at the M E Church today, Thursday at
11 a.m. by Elder F H BENTLEY pastor of the Christian church, and a large
audience collected to pay their last respects to one whom they so admired. The
remains were interred by the side of her husband in Mt James cemetery. There
were many beautiful flowers given by friends. All of the Business houses in town
closed during the funeral hour.
