The Ionia Daily Sentinel, Friday, November 19, 1909

H. F. Scott passed away at his home in Maple Rapids Nov. 12, aged a little 
over 77 years.  Mr. Scott had been in very poor health for some time and his 
death was not unexpected.  Funeral services were held at the home on Saturday 
afternoon, Rev. H. E. Wylie preaching the sermon, and interment was made in 
the Sowie cemetery.

Henry Francis Scott was born near Brownville, Jefferson county, N.Y., Sept. 
27, 1832.  He came to Michigan in 1855, and on Oct. 11, 1857, was married at 
Lyons, Michigan, to Miss Fanny M. Williston, who survives him.  The 52 years 
of his married life have been spent in Ionia, Montcalm and Clinton counties, 
in this state, the last 11 years in Maple Rapids.  In September, 1862 he 
enlisted in Co. K., Twenty-first Michigan infantry, but after serving three 
months was discharged on account of sickness.

He was the father of nine children, three of whom died in infancy and early 
childhood, and one—Mrs. Effie Baker—passed away Nov. 9, 1906.  The five who, 
with their mother, survive him, are Frank Scott, of Ionia, Mich., Charlie E. 
Scott, of Holland, N.Y., Glenn A. Scott, of Saranac, Mich.; and Mrs. Matie 
Benjamin and Miss Maud Scott, of Maple Rapids.

For many years he lived in his simple, quiet way, a Christian life, which he 
maintained to the end, notwithstanding his last years were filled with 
infirmities and suffering.
