Scott passed away in Marion on the 27th of February, 1905, in his eightieth year. Here he had resided as one of the revered patriarchs of the community, whose tales of the early days compassed the period when railroad building and telegraph construction were in their infancy. While he lived to enjoy the benefits of improved and modern agricultural implements, he could remember the time when most of the farm labor was done by hand or with very crude machinery. For a number of years he was identified with agricultural interests in this part of the state and for some time prior to his demise lived retired in Marion. He was born in Knox county, Ohio, August 12, 1825, and belonged to one of the pioneer families of that state. In the paternal line he came of Scotch-Irish ancestry. His father, Allen Scott, was born in York county, Pennsylvania, April 17, 1780, and, having arrived at years of maturity, was married January 21, 1808, to Miss Jane Newell, whose birth occurred in the village of Cross Creek, Washington county, on the 8th of November, 1784. Not long afterward they removed to Ohio, making the journey on horseback. He settled on a heavily timbered tract of land in Knox county, where they had to face many hardships and privations incident to pioneer life. Much difficult labor confronted them. Their land was covered with timber and it was therefore necessary to clear away the trees ere they could plow and plant their fields. Allen Scott was energetic and determined, however, and largely through his own efforts he opened up and developed several farms in Knox county, Ohio, where he continued to make his home until his death. He was also among the first to successfully engage in raising fruit in that part of the state. He had thirty acres planted to apple and peach trees and in those early days gave away thousands of bushels of fruit to those who had none. He was greatly interested in the subject of horticulture and found the keenest delight in giving the products of his orchard to the poor. Mr. Scott took an active part in the religious development of the community, serving for some time as an elder in the Presbyterian church, but on account of the slavery question the elders of the church to which he belonged formed a free church, which was later merged into the Congregational church and became the leading religious organization of Mount Vernon, Ohio. He served his country as a soldier of the war of 1812 and became a stalwart advocate of the abolition cause. His wife, a most estimable Christian woman, held membership in the same church. She passed away in 1855, at the age of seventy-two years, while on a visit to her son in Marion, Iowa, while the death of Allen Scott occurred in Mount Vernon, Knox county, Ohio, in 1848, when he was sixty-eight years of age. In his family were the following children: Mary, who became the wife of Israel Murphy, lived to the advanced age of ninety years. Hugh died March 27, 1809. Margaret passed away February 19, 1813. Eliza J. became the wife of George W. Madden and died in Plumas county, California, in 1815. Eleanor passed away in 1817. James A., a farmer of Linn county, died March 24, 1820. Thomas S. passed away October 2, 1822. Harriet died in the spring of 1900. John B. completes the family.
