When a boy of sixteen he went to the then frontier - Illinois, beyond the railroads - and made a home in Henry Co. When 13 years old by a remarkable coincidence, his father and mother both died on the same day - the father while visiting his only daughter in Bath, Maine, and the mother at home with him in Illinois. At 19, desiring all the education he could obtain, her entered Hamilton College, a Baptist institution at Clinton, N. Y., where he made the acquaintance of Miss Myra Simmons, to whom he was afterward married, March 8, 1858, and together they went to a farm near Washington, Iowa, still on the frontier. To this union were born a son and a daughter. The son died at the age of three, and the mother's death followed soon, leaving the little daughter, Ester, now Mrs. Theodore Saxon. Mr. Linscott enlisted in the 9th Illinois Cavalry and served until after the close of the Civil war. He then returned to Washington county, Iowa, and in the fall of 1865 entered into the mercantile business at Daytonville. April 19, 1866, S. K. Linscott and Josephine Mallett were married at the home of her sister, Mrs. T. P. Moore, in Washington, Iowa.

Moore in the grocery business and moved to Washington, Iowa, where the family resided nearly four years.

Mr. Linscott entered the banking business as cashier of the Holton Exchange Bank, and in 1874 sold his interest to T. P. Moore, and established the Banking House of S. K. Linscott, which he has successfully conducted for nearly a third of a century, and which he now leaves to his sons, whom he has educated to that business. Before the Civil War, Mr. Linscott was a Mason .... He was the first to bring the tame grass and improved breeds of hogs, cattle, horses and sheep into Jackson County.
