Oliver Scott

We are very sorry we did not get a sketch of this old pioneer. He came to this county about 1847 and settled on Walnut Creek. There were only a very few families here then. Mr. Scott died last winter and an obituary appeared in these columns which gave a sketch of his life. He was a man of very fine order of mind and did a great deal towards helping develop this country.

He has several children living in the county who are good citizens and doing well. His picture was among the first we sent to the engraver but by some means he failed to send the cut until Monday just before we were ready to go to press on the last pages of this edition.
