Scott lived a widow for a number of years.  In 1892 she was married to Mr. 

Haas, of Ohio, where she moved and lived until her last illness.  She died at 

her daughter's, Mrs. Belle Weigler, in Cleveland, Ohio.  She spent most of 

her life in Boone county, Kentucky, was a member  of the Methodist church at 

Petersburg, Kentucky, until she and her family moved to Ohio.  She as a woman 

of fine sense, sterling qualities, a loving mother and had many friends.  She 

was conscious up to the very last moments.  Having her children gathered

life.  She leaves two sons and two daughters by her last husband, Mr. Haas,

Viola Grant and daughter, Miss Grace, and Mr. Walton and son, sang several 

very sweet songs at the funeral.  After the services at the house, she was 

laid away in the old family burying ground to await the resurrection morn,



So spirit, go and take thy flight

Leave this dull mortal here

And soar to worlds of bliss and light

And dwell eternal there 

    T. W. Baker."
