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

W. Emery Scott, the well known and prosperous farmer and stockman of
Post Oak township, is the son of one of the brave, noble pioneers of
Johnson county.  He was born in November, 1863 at the Scott homestead
in Johnson county.  Mr. Scott is one of four children born to his 
parents, Daniel and Rebecca (Gwyn) Scott, the other three children
being daughters.  Daniel Scott was a native of Tennessee, who came to
Missouri among the first settlers and purchased the farm on which his 
son, Emery, now resides.  He enlisted in the Civil War and served with
the Seventh Missouri Infantry.  After the war had closed, Mr. Scott 
returned to his farm in Johnson county and resided there until his
death.  He was an industrious, capable, successful farmer and stockman,
enrolled among the best citizens that ever came to Missouri.  In 1903,
W. Emery Scott and Ida McDonald were united in marriage.  Mrs. Scott
was born and reared in Johnson county.  To W. Emery and Ida (McDonald)
Scott have been born three children.  Mr. and Mrs. Scott have long been
held in the highest respect and esteem in this section of the county, 
where they have scores of friends.  Mr. Scott is a valued member of the
Modern Woodmen of America and he is one of Johnson county's best and 
most enterprising citizens.  The Scott farm comprises 340 acres of land
practically all of which has been cleared of timber since the Scotts
settled in this county.  Mr. Scott well recalls the open condition of
Johnson county, when he was a youth, when fences were rarely in use and
cattle were given free range over the wide prairie.  He is engaged in
raising cattle and hogs, which though not registered stock are of good
grade.  He has been deservedly successful in his chosen vocation and is
the owner of one of the valuable country places in this part of Miss-
ouri.
