The Ionia Weekly Standard, Friday, July 14, 1911
Milo Scott, age 65, proprietor of a shoe repairing shop on Jackson street near 
Main St., and who has been a resident of this vicinity for nearly fifty years, 
died at his home in the Hardendorf addition, last evening about eight 
o’clock.  Mr. Scott and his wife had been living in a tent on the addition for 
some few weeks past, their home at 520 West Washington St. being occupied by 
their daughter, Mrs. Herbert Kent.  Mr. and Mrs. Scott had been down town 
early in the evening and gone home, sitting outside of the tent for some time 
visiting with neighbors.  After going to bed the couple talked for some time, 
but Mr. Scott’s failure to reply to a question made his wife suspicious, and 
lighting the lamp she discovered that he was dead.  Dr. Kitson was immediately 
called, who pronounced the cause of death heart failure, Mr. Scott having 
suffered for some time from weak heart.

The funeral will be held Saturday at 1:30 from the residence on Washington St. 
and at 2 o’clock from the Evangelical church, of which deceased was a member.  
Interment in Oak Hill cemetery.  Besides the widow, a brother, John Scott, 
living on State St., and the daughter, Mrs. Kent survive.
