He was married to Miss Mary Fosha at Baxter, in 1882 and their home had always been near or in Colo, and for two terms Mr. Scott served on the board of supervisors of Story county, his term ending in 1915.

Of later years he had spent most of his time upon the road as a representative of the Minnesota Steel and Machine company, but was compelled to give up work about two years ago because of ill health.
