His parents were William C. and Rosie (Pecinovsky) Scott. John had two brothers and two sisters, Willis, Arthur, Evelyn and Pharis. He lived on a farm, which his father homesteaded in Rock Creek Township, until the age of 5 when the family moved to Valparaiso. The family operated a restaurant and bakery in Valparaiso. John married Bernice Keck, daughter of Benoni (Ben) and Kate Keck. That family lived in Stromsburg, in Polk County, Neb. Ben Keck, Mrs. Scott's father, was a state Legislature representative from that county. John was a lifelong businessman. After his marriage, he began his own livestock business and began buying and selling grain in 1915. John, inducted into the Army in 1918, served in World War I and returned home at Christmas, 1919, when he renewed his livestock and grain business. He then added lumber to his business interests. In the 1920's, John expanded to the trucking business and the two oldest sons, Clayton and John Jr., helped operate that business. During the late 1920's and early 1930's, most of the businesses were discontinued, due to the poor economy. However, he operated the trucking firm until the beginning of World War II, when two of Mr. Scott's sons, John, Jr., and Russell, were inducted into military service. The oldest son, Clayton, remained in the trucking business. In 1942, the family moved to Lincoln, John became the manager of the lumberyard for the Mead Ordnance plant. After World War II, Mr. Scott became manager of the Valparaiso Grain and Lumber Co. John and Clayton bought the business in 1952, and remained in that work until it was sold in 1974. Clayton preceded his father in death, Jan. 20, 1973. An article in the Valparaiso Hi-Lites newspaper, Feb. 5, 1974, honored John as having the longest business history in the community.
