SCOTT, RICHARD C.
(18 Jun 1908, Thursday, Beckham County Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Grandpa Scott who resided in the south part of the county, but who has
been visiting relatives in Erick for the past month, died in Erick Tuesday
and was buried Wednesday in the Erick cemetery by the Masonic Lodge of
Erick.  He was an ex-Confederate soldier, formerly from Kentucky, but a
resident of this county for several years, loved and respected by all who
enjoyed his acquaintance.  The old soldiers are fast passing away and in a
few years will have become a recollection only to the rising generation. 
Peace to his ashes.
(18 Jun 1908, Thursday, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Richard C. Scott died at the home of G. W. Evans last Tuesday at 10 p.m. 
His death was due to a severe attack of bowel trouble.  Mr. Scott was
originally from Kentucky but came here a few years ago from Texas.  He
owns a farm about 10 miles south of Erick.  He was a faithful member of
the Methodist church and a Mason.  His Masonic brethren assisted by Rev.
W. M. Taylor, officiated at his funeral service, which was held Tuesday
evening from G. W. Evans' home, where Mr. Scott was visiting at the time
of his death.  Mr. Scott is survived by his widow and his sons, John H.
Scott, besides two other sons.  The Altruist together with other friends,
offers condolence to the bereaved loved ones of Mr. Scott.
