Contributed by Nancy: From the Nevada Evening Journal of December 18, 1918 (front page): "UNION PIONEER CALLED BY DEATH "E. F. SCOTT PASSED AWAY ON SUNDAY AND BURIED YESTERDAY "E. F. Scott, age 75 years, Union township pioneer and one of the heaviest land owners in Story county died on Sunday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ivan Elliott, near Cambridge and the funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the Cambridge cemetery, the health regulations of the community making the holding of a public funeral impossible at this time. "E. F. Scott was born August 4, 1843, New Milford Township, Winnebago county Illinois. On December 16, 1863 he was united in marriage to Fidelia McCallister. They resided on a farm near Davis Junction, Ill., about four and a half years. In the fall of 1867, he came to Iowa and bought a quarter section of land in section four, Union township, where he lived until the fall of 1917, when he moved to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ivan Elliott and passed to the world beyond at 11:30 a. m. on Dec. 15, 1918. "To this union were born five children, Frank E. Scott, Mrs. Hattie Elliott, Mrs. Lottie Elliott all of Cambridge, Ia., John G. Scott of Shipley, Ia., and Minnie May Scott, who passed away at the age of one year, eleven months and twenty days. Also to this union were born twenty-three grand-children and nine great grand-children. "Mr. Scott had of his own immediate family four brothers, Thomas Scott who died in his young manhood in Illinois, John N. Scott, late of Sheldahl, Ia., having died July 20 of this year, Martin Scott, who died in Union township, Story county, Ia., Feb. 8, 1876, Joseph S. Scott of Marshalltown, Ia., who alone survives the deceased. Mr. Scott also had two half sisters, who are Mary Ellen Bryant of San Diego, Cal., and Hattie E. Miller of Perry, Iowa. "Mr. Scott was the most hardy and successful pioneer of Story county. He with his faithful wife and two children left his Illinois home 57 years ago next spring and came to town with teams and wagons and established for himself and family a home in Union township where he has ever since lived. "His success as a friend and neighbor is measured by the sincere friendship extended him by all who know him. His success as a business man and financier is evidenced by the fact that his quarter section of land in 1867 had now grown into an estate of 1500 acres of Story county land. The high respect in which he was held by his business associates is evidenced by the fact that they placed him in the presidency of the First National Bank of Cambridge, Ia., which position he resigned as his health declined in the latter years of his life. Mr. Scott was a man of high ideals and always held himself to strict observance to the most rigid rules of his personal habits and morals. "Waging from his early manhood a war against liquors in all its forms in 1895 Mr. Scott with his lifes companion united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Cambridge from which time they have been devoted and faithful members of the church. "Mr. Scott was throughout his married life, a devoted husband, a considerate and loving father. "With him passes a most worthy example of honored and successful pioneer life."
