Death of Owen Scott.

In 1849 there came to this country from Ireland, Owen Scott.  He drifted to the 
vicinity of Quarryville where he worked for two years until he saved enough 
money to send to the old country to bring over his wife and five children.  He 
soon managed to get a home, where he lived with his family until 1856, when his 
wife died.  On Saturday he was buried at St. Catharine's church, in Drumore, at 
the good old age of 82.  He has always been a devout member of this church and 
his character and worth as a citizen were attested to by one of the largest 
funerals ever held at that place.  Mr. Scott was an active man for his age until 
last Monday when he was stricken with paralysis, from which he died on Thursday.  
He was a very zealous Democrat and never missed an election.  For the last four 
years he has been living with his son Patrick, on his farm in Eden township.  He 
leaves four sons, Michael, Patrick, James and Dennis; one daughter, Mrs. Mary 
Pickel.
