    Benton Halstead Scott, M. D. The substantial results of years of effort
intelligently directed by a trained mind, are gratifying to one who has devoted
his entire life to carrying out the highest ideals of a certain profession. No
individual can be greater than the appreciation of the debt which he owes to
society and the professional men who rise highest are those who endeavor to aid
humanity in general and to assist their fellowman. One of the eminent and
skilled medical men, of Hamilton county, is Dr. Benton Halstead Scott, whose
career shows marked ability, and who has been successfully engaged in practice
for many years. He was born near Lowell, Ind., September 8, 1860, a son of John
M. Scott. He received his earliest education in the district schools of his
native township, and removed, with his parents, in 1870, to "Paddies Run," the
birthplace of the famous writer, Murat Halstead, who, by the way, was the
brother of our subject's mother. It was here that Mr. Scott received his
education, and later entered the university of Cincinnati. Still later he took
up a course of study at the Ohio-Miami Medical College, from which he was
graduated with the class of 1884, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. After
completing his studies, he began his practice at Okeana, Ohio, where he
continued for ten years. He then went to Harrison, Ohio, where he practiced for
four years, and then went to Chicago, Ill., where he accepted a position as
physician of the Palmer House. He remained here for ten years, and then
practiced for three years as a specialist of diseases of the ear, nose and
throat. In 1911, he returned to Harrison, Ohio, and has since engaged in a
general practice. Doctor Scott was appointed health physician of Harrison, and
held this office for many years. He also acted as physician for the Big Four
railroad, and physician of the traction company, of Harrison. Fraternally, he is
a member of the Travel Club, and in politics, is a Republican. Dr. Scott is a
member of the Christian church, and he and his family are active in all its
affairs. Mr. Scott married, January 22, 1889, Miss Celiste Fields, daughter of
Theodore Fields, of Harrison, Ohio. Her death occurred October 11, 1896. To Mr.
and Mrs. Scott were born two children as follows: Murat Halstead, who was a
graduate of the Ohio-Miami Medical College, and the university of Michigan, and
practiced three years with his father, having been an interne at the Jewish
Hospital, of Cincinnati; and who was commissioned first lieutenant in the
American army. He died at Fort Oglethorpe, October 19, 1918, where he had charge
of an ambulance corps. He married Miss Betty Marr, of Canton, Ohio, who survives
him. The second son, Theodore Scott, residing at Oakley, Ohio, married Clare
Gale, and they have a daughter, Helen.
