After
a few years of their married life spent on the farm she moved with her husband

the borderland between this and the state of blessedness and joy awaiting the
Christian Believer.

William
Scott, the son of Andrew
[Zane] and Margaret [Jane Kendall] Scott, was born near Fremont, Iowa, August 3, 1863; and died at his home
in Gravity, February 3, 1933, at the age of 69 years and 6 months.
On
December 5, 1883, he was united in marriage to Ida Belle Thompson of Fremont, Iowa. To this union 8 children were
born: Glen, Dora, Thomas, Pearl, Millie, Gladys, and Verna.
The
next year after the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Scott moved to Cass County and settled near Massena. In
1910, they moved to Taylor county, and settled on a farm southwest of Gravity,
where they lived until 1920, when they moved to Gravity to make their future
home.
Mr.
Scott is survived by his
companion of almost 50 years; his 8 children: Glen [Arlo], of Ventura, Calif.; Dora [Myrtle] Porter, Indianola, Ia.; Ethel Downing, Denver, Colo.; [Hazel] Pearl Livingston, Omaha, Nebr.; Millie [Ruby] Lovitt, Gravity, Ia.; [Nancy] Gladys Lewis, Omaha, Nebr.; and Verna [Letha] Lacy, Des Moines, Ia.; who were all with him during
the last week of his illness.
Two
brothers: E. [rastus] P. [atterson] Scott, Hedrick, Ia.; U. [lysses] G. [rant] Scott, Ottumwa, Ia.; four sisters: Mrs. Alice
Chapman Wiota, Ia.; Mrs. Annis
Harkness, Otego, Kans.; Mrs.
Susie Sammons; Creston, Ia.; Mrs.
Jennie Humphries, Fremont, Ia.;
23 grand children; and one great grandchild. Many other relatives and a large
circle of friends.
Mr.
Scott was converted early in life
and united with the Methodist church. For many years he has been an official
member of the Gravity Methodist church. His activities in the community and in
the church will be greatly missed, as he was always at his place of duty.
During his last illness he often inquired concerning the progress of the church.
He was very much interested in the work of his Lord and Master. His faith in
God was steadfast. He often said he was ready to go. We can spare him from the
church militant because we feel that he becomes a member of the church
triumphant before the throne of God.
We
feel the lines of the poet might well apply to his life:
"Servant of God well
done!
Thy glorious warfare's
past,
The battle's fought, the
race
is won,
And
thou art crowned at last.
The
funeral service was held in the Methodist church here Sunday afternoon,
conducted by the pastor, R. V. Felt. Rev. Warrior of Blockton, former pastor of
the church here, was to have been here to assist in the service, but on account
of sickness was unable to be present.
The
pallbearers were members of the Community S. S. class of which Mr. Scott has been an active member for years. They were
Jesse Lovitt, L. E. Morley, C. A. Burwell, A. J. Leighton, Tom Young and Hawley
Mahaffey. A large number of relatives, many of them coming from a distance,
were present. The church was filled with the relatives and neighbors in spite
of the fact the weather was very cold and unpleasant.

Utter Takes His Own Life
Saturday morning, [Thomas] Gail Utter, 31, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tommie Utter of this place, took his own life by hanging
himself from the rafters of the bedroom at the home of his father-in-law, Wiley
Adams, two miles southwest of
Gravity.
As he did not come down to breakfast one of the
members of the family went upstairs to his bedroom to call him, and found him
hanging by a rope made from the bed clothes tied to a piece of board laid
across an opening into the garrett over his room. The body was at once released
and it is believed that it contained a spark of life when found. Dr. Reed was
called immediately and made a hurried trip to the farm, but found him dead on
his arrival.
Coroner Gustin was called at once and upon
investigating the circumstances surrounding the case decided that an inquest
was not necessary, as it was a plain case of suicide. Mr. Utter had worked the day before and seemed about as
usual and his death was a great shock to relatives and friends. Domestic
troubles of several months standing are given as the cause of his final
decision to end it all in this way.
The family had been living at the Adams home
during the past several months. He leaves a wife and two children, besides his
parents and aged grandfather, M.[elvin] S. [eymour] Rogers.
The funeral service was held Monday afternoon from
the Christian church, Rev. Eppard of Clarinda, conducting the service, which
was attended by a large number of relatives and friends of both families.
Interment was made in the Gravity cemetery.

MAN HUNG HIMSELF ON SATURDAY
Ill
Health and Financial Matters Believed to be The Motive
[Thomas] Gail Utter, 31, of Gravity, hung himself in the home of his
father-in-law, Wiley Adams, 4
miles southwest of Gravity, Saturday morning. Doctors had told Utter he would not live more than a year. His bad health
and despondency over financial matters are believed to have caused the suicide.
After helping with the morning chores, Utter returned to his room in the upper story of the Adams home, where he hung himself with a cloth rope,
fixing one end over a board laid across an opening into the attic. County
Coroner P. J. Gustin pronounced the death suicide and stated it probably took
place about 8 o'clock a. m.
On previous occasions Utter had threatened to kill himself. About three weeks
ago he made that statement and fired off a gun in the barn loft. He was later
found uninjured.
Funeral services for Utter were held Monday in the Christian church in
Gravity, and burial was made in the Gravity cemetery. He is survived by his
wife and a daughter and son.
