     DR. WILLIAM G. SCOTT has well earned the high place which he holds in the 
ranks of the medical profession in Portland, for he is a man of wide learning 
and dependable skill in his special field of labor and commands an extensive 
practice. Dr. Scott was born in Pittsburgh, Kansas, in 1882 and is a son of 
Oliver and Matilda (Aikmen) Scott, both of whom are deceased. They were the 
parents of two sons and two daughters.

     Dr. Scott attended the public and high schools of his native town and 
matriculated in the medical school of St. Louis University, from which he was 
graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1911. He served as interne 
in the St. Louis City Hospital and the St. Louis Obstetrical Dispensary, after 
which he did postgraduate work in France for three months. In 1912 he came to 
Portland and entered upon the practice of his profession, in which his ability 
gained for him prompt recognition as an able physician and skilled surgeon, 
and during the ensuing years he has risen steadily in the confidence and 
esteem of the public.

     Dr. Scott was united in marriage to Mrs. Elizabeth Morey. He is a veteran 
of the World war, having enlisted in the United States Medical Corps in 1917. 
He was stationed at Camp Lewis, Washington, for some months and in 1918 was 
sent to France, where he saw much active duty in field hospitals. In May, 
1919, he was honorably discharged. He is now a lieutenant-colonel in the 
Oregon National Guard. He is a member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons 
and all Woodmen organizations, in which he takes an active interest. He is a 
member of the medical staff of the Portland Sanitarium and belongs to the 
Multnomah County Medical Society. A man of strong personality and cordial and 
friendly manner, he is greatly respected throughout the range of his 
acquaintance.
