The Somerset herald. (Somerset, Pa.): June 16, 1880
On Saturday morning, June 12, at his residence in New Centreville, William Scott,
Esq., in the 73d year of his age. Mr. Scott was born in 1807, in Milford township,
and has resided there and in New Centreville nearly all his life. When about 25
years of age he engaged, for a couple of years, in business at Pittsburgh. He served
as Justice of the Peace for twenty-five years, five terms. He was a surveyor known
for correct work, and was good counsel for men in business affairs. He was one of
the six original Abolitionists, who voted for Birney in 1844. A member of the
Disciples’ church for forty-six years, he leaves the reputation of a Christian
gentleman to his descendants. A widow and a large family of grown-up sons and
daughters survive him, among whom are John R., Esq., Dr. Evans T., A. W., Clerk of
the Courts of Harrison County, Ohio; David and Lervy. His family were all gathered
at his bedside shortly before his death, some of them coming from far Western
States. Squire Scott was well known throughout the county of Somerset, and very many
old friends and neighbors are pained at his taking off, although he lived to a ripe
age, and died as a just and honorable man.
