Thursday, May 16, 1907

JULIA SCOTT, the eldest daughter of AARON and ELIZABETH SCOTT, was born in
Benton Township, Lucas County, Iowa, May 13, 1852, and died at her home on
North Grand Street, Thursday, May 9, 1907, of dropsy of the heart. She was
united in marriage to GEO. F. CARPENTER, March 19, 1879. This union was
blessed with two children, their son, WARD, living on the home place in
Benton Township, and their daughter, MAY, who resides with her parents in
Chariton. Beside her husband and children she leaves an aged mother, MRS.
ELIZABETH SCOTT, two brothers, DAVID, of Derby, and SIMON, of Benton
Township, and one sister, MRS. EMMA MCCURDY, to mourn her loss, and who were
all present to pay their last respects to one whose memory they will ever
cherish.

She united with the Methodist Episcopal Church when she was twenty years of
age and had lived a faithful Christian life during all these years. She was
a woman of noble character, and was held in the highest esteem by all who
knew her. Before her marriage she was one of Lucas County's school teachers
She and her husband resided on their farm in Benton Township for
twenty-five years, moving to Chariton in 1903, where they might enjoy the
fruits of their hard labor, and where they have since resided.

The funeral services were held at the Methodist Church Saturday afternoon,
at 2:30 o'clock, by Rev. Evans, and the remains were laid to rest in the
Chariton Cemetery. The sympathy of the community is extended to the
bereaved family.
