Scott, dwells two miles east from Tumtum, Washington, and there has a good estate of one hundred and twenty acres, which is devoted to general farming and fruit raising. He was born in McHenry county, Illinois, on February 14, 1860, the son of Jacob and Catherine (Weller) Scott, natives of Vermont and new York, respectively, and early pioneers in Illinois. Thence they traveled to Michigan, later to Minnesota, and also lived some time in Iowa, and afterward dwelt six years in Minnesota. In these various places our subject was educated in the common schools. In 1884, our subject came with his father to Washington and settled in what is now known as Scott valley, it being named from the family. Wilber wrought with his father until 1897 and then a division of the property was made and all took their proper shares. Our subject has improved his place in a commendable manner, has shown good skill in raising winter fruits and is one of the thrifty and prosperous men of the section. He is of good standing and has held the office of school director. On July 26, 1896, Mr. Scott married Miss Sadie, daughter of Wallace W and Lona A. (Vanneps) Clark, natives of Pennsylvania.
