IN MEMORY OF JOHN SCOTT

Departed this life, Saturday, September 15, 1906 aged 25 years, John Scott,
son of James  and Belle Scott.  He was born December 19, 1881, in Camden
County, and was a model  young man.  He leaves a father, three brothers,
three  sisters, a sweetheart and many  friends to mourn his loss, but  the
Lord's will be done.  John had been  in the employ of F.
Hooker  for the last three years, and stood high in the estimation of all
who
knew him.  He was to have  been  married the day before Thanksgiving to Miss
Ersula Blount, but  the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.  The day will
come when we shall meet on that
blissful shore, and meet our loved ones there, where parting will never
come.
 It is hard  to give thee up, but God says come, take up thy cross and
follow
me, thou good and faithful servant.  Blessed is he that lays down his life
for his brother's sake.  Deceased belonged to the church of God and was a
true believer in God.  We have reasons to believe he is at rest and  peace
with God.  May the Lord have mercy on the bereaved
father, brother and sisters and heal the broken heart of his sweetheart, for
the sake of her  father and  and mother.  John Scott was a gentleman  in
very
respect.  At the time of his  mother's death, last fall, it was her request
that her son John look after the children and
this he did, following her wish.  He was a kind and affectionate son and
loving brother.
Farewell, dear John, but not forever, for we will meet you in the bye and
bye.

Written by a friend, J.D. Blount

Belle Scott died before Sept 15 1906 ..... we see she wanted John to care
for the family.
