Death of Mrs. Scott

Kingsley News-Times: Early last Thursday morning Mrs. Olivan Scott passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ed. Hamil, who lives two miles southwest of Kingsley. The deceased was born in Indiana, December 20, 1830, living to the ripe old age of 83 years, 2 months, 15 days. There was no struggle with death as she closed her eyes as going into a peaceful slumber. She was united in marriage to A.R. Scott, February 1852. To this union eight children were born, three sons and five daughters, viz: Alexander, Shadrick, Ellen, Harriet, John, Sarah, Jane and Abbie. Two of the daughters preceded her to the spirit world.

Mrs. Scott was a good neighbor and a loving mother. She will be greatly missed by her many friends. Two of her daughters, Ella and Jennie, tenderly administered to her wants to the end.

The funeral service took place from the Congregational church of Kingsley Friday afternoon at two o'clock, March 6. The pastor, Rev. J. Steele, conducted the service. The body was intered in the Kingsley cemetery.

The deceased was a devoted follower of her Lord and has gone to the rest that awaits the people of God.
