Fairfield Recorder - 15 Jul 1898 issue

Died - Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Scott, living in the Pyburn neighborhood, had the 
misfortune to lose on last Thursday evening their oldest child, an interesting
boy named Davy, about three years old. He died of congestion after an illness
of a few days at the residence of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. D. V. Carroll
in Fairfield. His unexpected death coming as it did almost before the little
fellow was recorded as seriously ill was a painful blow to the family, more
especially to the bereaved young parents to whom life has now given a sorrow
of the heart can never forget but in their dark hour of their grief they have
the consolation of knowing their little boy is where sickness, pain and death
can reach him no more and safe in arms of the tender Shepard will await the
coming of loved ones left behind him.
