P. W. SCOTT DIES

Well Known Madison County Farmer Died at Peru Tuesday Morning

P. W. Scott, well known Madison county resident, died at his home in Peru Tuesday morning, Dec. 3, about 5 o'clock. Mr. Scott, who was 82 years of age, had been in poor health for some time, but his condition had not been regarded as critical.

He was born in Adair county, Kentucky, Jan. 31, 1858, and came to this county in a covered wagon with his parents, when he was eleven years of age. Nearly all of his life was spent on a farm near Truro, but he and his wife moved to Peru last spring because of his poor health. He was married to Miss Edwina Wiggins, on March 4, 1880, and they observed their sixtieth wedding anniversary last spring.

Funeral services for Mr. Scott were held at the Methodist church in Truro this afternoon at two o'clock.

Mr. Scott is survived by his wife, and their six children: two sons, Billie and Frank Scott of Truro, and four daughters: Mrs. Maud Archer and Mrs. Edith Reed of Winterset, Mrs. Margaret Slinker of Peru, and Mrs. Lonnie Weed of Orient. He also leaves a brother, Sam Scott of Truro, and a sister, Mrs. Tommy Hiatt of Ackworth, and a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren. More particulars of his life will be given in next week's issue of the Madisonian.
