EVALINA VIRGINIA SCOTT

   Miss Evalina Virginia Scott, oldest daughter of the late T. Woodson Scott 
and Mrs. Sarah Councill Scott, died at her home "Oakdale" near Franklin 
July 25, after a lingering illness.  Miss Scott was educated at Guilford 
College, the Farmville State Teacher College and the University of Virginia, 
teaching in private and public schools in Southampton and Nansemond counties 
for more than 25 years.

   She was descended from a long line of Quaker families, the faith of the 
Friends Church continuing from her paternal ancestor, Thomas Jordan, Jr., of 
Nansemond County, who became a Quaker in 1680, through eight successive 
generations.  Miss Scott was an Elder in Bethel Meeting, a consistent Friend 
and generous neighbor in her community, a good woman of many fine traits of 
character.

   Her oldest brother, George G. Scott, prominent business man of Charlotte, 
N.C., and father of the famed motion picture actor, Randolph Scott, died four 
months ago.  She is survived by two brothers, Robert L. Scott and James Hersey 
Scott of Franklin; two sisters, Mrs. Charles H. Hayes and Mrs. J.P. Bradshaw 
of Washington; five nephews, ten nieces and a wide circle of friends.

   Funeral services were conducted by her Pastor Rev. Jesse A. Stanfield, and 
Miss Fannie Pretlow Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock from her late home, burial 
following in the family plot in Poplar Spring Cemetery, Franklin.
