ROBERT L. SCOTT

  Bellwood lost one of its most highly esteemed residents in the death 
of Robert Lee Scott, brief notice of which appeared in yesterday's 
Tribune.  Mr. Scott had been failing in health for some time, owing to 
a complication of diseases, but had bravely kept up his fight for life, 
leaving his post of business only a month ago, when he took a trip to 
Philadelphia in the hope that treatment by a specialist might restore 
his lost vigor.  From that time his decline was rapid and he passed 
away at 1 o'clock yesterday morning at his home on Maple avenue, 
Bellwood.  Mr. Scott was born February 25, 1866, at Thurmont, Md.  
Twenty-seven years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Myra Henshey.  
He came to Bellwood from Philipsburg eleven years ago to become cashier 
of the First National bank, just instituted.  This position he had 
filled with marked acceptability.  He was a member of the Presbyterian 
church, of the Bellwood Motor club, the Chamber of Commerce, and of the 
P.R.R. Y.M.C.A. board of directors.  Surviving are his wife and one 
daughter, Miss Edith; two sisters, Mrs. S. M. Miller, of West Virginia; 
Mrs. L. M. Wentzel, of Bellwood; four brothers, Walter, of Ickesburg; 
Joseph, of Munhall, Pittsburg; Howard, of Jersey Shore, and Edward, of 
Ardmore, Pa.  Funeral services will be held at his late home at 
Bellwood at 7.30 Thursday evening.  On Friday morning at 7.31 the body 
will be taken to Philipsburg, where interment will be made, the cortege 
going directly from the train to the cemetery.
