GEORGE WASHINGTON SCOTT - CSA

   George W. Scott, an aged and estimable citizen of Franklin, died at the 
home of his daughter, Mrs. Cornelia Vaughan, in North High Street on Christmas 
Day.  He had been in declining health for some months but the end came 
peacefully and almost without a moment’s warning.

   Mr. Scott was born in Southampton County September 10, 1846*, and served in 
the armies of the Confederacy throughout the entire course of the Civil War, 
coming back from the Surrender at Appomattox with the record of having served 
his country faithfully and well.  He lived in the Beaver Dam neighborhood in 
Isle of Wight County for a number of years; was a consistent member of Beaver 
Dam Baptist Church and of the Beaver Dam Camp of Confederate Veterans.  He was 
a true Christian, a good citizen and was honorable in all of his dealings with 
his fellowman.

   The funeral services were conducted from Beaver Dam Church on Thursday, 
December 27, a 2 o’clock by Rev. W. Thorburn Clark of Richmond, a former 
pastor of the deceased, assisted by Rev. Geo. R. Pankey of Beaver Dam and by 
Dr. C.R. Rowland and Rev. R.D. Stephenson of Franklin.

   He is survived by one son, L.A. Scott of Newport News; one daughter, Mrs. 
J.A. Vaughan of Franklin, several grandchildren and a wide circle of relatives 
in this community.
