Samuel Scott
(August 17, 1832 - January 7, 1901)

The Indianola Herald, Indianola, IA, Jan 10, 1901, p.6 (newspaper forgot to change year, listed as 1900)
The death of Samuel Scott (colored) occurred Monday afternoon. He had gone to the timber after wood and as he did not return at the time Mrs. Scott was expecting him, members of the family were sent in search and found him dead in the timber about 5:00 p.m. Coroner Dale went out to the house Monday evening, but no inquest was necessary. He had died either from apoplexy or heart failure as there was no sign of foul play. Mr. Scott was 69 years old and was born in Missouri. He had lived here for over thirty years and had raised a large family of children.
