  W. F. SCOTT (1861-1908). One of the best known and highly honored residents of

Ransom township was W. E. Scott, who engaged in farming there from 1893 until

his death, which occurred on Sunday, May 10, 1908.



  Mr. Scott was born in Tama county, Iowa, May 4, 1861, the son of J. H. and

Elizabeth (Hawkins) Scott. The father was a native of Ohio, lived respectively

in Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, being one of the early settlers of the latter

state. He died in Iowa in 1890, aged 69 years. The mother was a native of

Kentucky and descended from one of the old colonial families.



  In his native county Mr. Scott secured an education and spent the greater part

of his life. Until he was of age he worked on his father's farm and thereafter,

until his arrival in Nobles county, he engaged in farming for himself in Tama

county. In the spring of 1893 he moved to Nobles county and bought the northwest

quarter of section 14, Ransom township, upon which he engaged in farming until

his death. He was a member of the Ransom Methodist church.



  Mr. Scott was married Jan. 8, 1891, in Tama county, to Miss Ida E. Estle, a

native of Ohio, and a daughter of Daniel Estle, a native of Pennsylvania and an

early settler of Ohio. To Mr. and Mrs. Scott were born the following children:

Dora, born Dec. 30, 1892; Bernice, born Sept. 22, 1896; Kenneth, born July 27,
1902.
