**********************************************************************

Lewis C. Scott, constable and deputy sheriff of Crawford County, was
born near Nashville, Tenn., in 1853, and when quite small was brought
to Osage County, MO., where he grew up and received a limited educa-
tion.  Upon reaching manhood he began dealing in stock, which he has
always kept to a greater or less extent.  For about four years he was
mail contractor in Osage and Gasconade Counties, and for seven years
was deputy road overseer, at the same time being engaged in farming.
In 1875 he married Laura E. Rand, a native of Osage County.  Mrs. 
Scott died in 1878, leaving one child, Eva L.  Three years later Mr.
Scott married Louisa D. Lewis, who was born in Gasconade County.  Of
the four children born to this union, three are living, viz.: Gustie,
Emma D. and Austin.  Having lived in Osage County until 1882, Mr.
Scott removed to Crawford County and located on the farm where they 
now reside, which consists of 230 acres.  He was elected constable
of Meramec Township in 1886, and also fills the office of deputy
sheriff.  Mr. Scott votes the Democratic ticket, and he and wife are
worthy members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
