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.
