Scott, G. W., Death of
	Special to the Times-Haughton July ? - Our community has been saddened 
by the death of our valued citizen, Captain G. W. Scott, who for two years 
just past has resided at Durr. La., After great suffering for several days, he 
died at 12 o'clock on the ?(2)nd instant and was laid to rest in the Fillmore 
Cemetery on the 4th instant, being just ?? years 2 months old. Captain Scott 
was a gallant soldier during the civil war, a part of the time being with the 
cavalry commanded by Captain J. Y Webb of Minden, and later serving on the 
staff of his brother, Brigadier General T. M. Scott, doing valiant service in 
many hard-fought battles. It is hard to know that he has left us, but ?? his 
age we know that it is a natural though and consequence, We all have to "pass 
under the rod." Captain Scott leaves a wife, a daughter and several 
grandchildren, and a sister to mourn his loss, 'but may the divine spirit 
comfort his loved ones in their great grief. To them, especially his sorrowing 
widow, we extend our sympathy. May they feel he doeth all things well.
