July 1909Mary Agnes Banker was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, January 2, 1868 and departed this life at her home in Winterset, Iowa, July 1, 1909.
With her parents she moved to Ohio township, Madison county, Iowa in October, 1880. She was married to Thomas M. Scott, March 16, 1892. To this union came one son, Earl, who with his father, is left to mourn an irreparable loss.
Mr. and Mrs. Scott moved from their home in Scott township, this county, to the city of Winterset, in December, 1904. Mrs. Scott has been a great sufferer for the past three months from a complication of diseases; but suddenly she painlessly fell asleep in Jesus and her devoted life and good works shall follow her.
She was converted at about the age of ten years and united with the Baptist church. The memory of a true christian character shall comfort the father and mother, brothers and sister, as long as the time shall last and when time shall be no more our prayer is; That each of us shall so live in simple faith in God that we may meet our loved ones in the kingdom of love, life and eternal joy.

Thursday, July 8, 1909Death of Mrs. T. M. Scott
The death of Mrs. Agnes Scott, wife of county auditor, T. M. Scott, at about 7 o’clock this morning, came as a severe shock to the family and friends. Although she had suffered much from ill health for some time, her illness was not thought to be of immediate danger.
She had recently been confined to her room with a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism, but she passed the night as well as usual and in fact her friends thought her condition to be much improved of late and were encouraged to hope for her complete recovery.
Death came from an attack of heart failure and was almost instantaneous. Besides her husband, she leaves a little boy, aged four years. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. O. Banker, reside in Winterset.

Mrs. T. M. Scott died at about seven o’clock this morning of a complication of diseases, inflammatory rheumatism being the most prominent, which went to her heart. Yesterday she was able, with a little assistance, to walk about the house and seemed to be improving. She rested well during the night and when breakfast was called she was left alone for a few minutes. On entering the room after breakfast Mr. Scott found that she had passed away.
She leaves her husband and a little son who have the sympathy of the entire community. No arrangement has been made for the funeral.
