His grandfather, Jesse Scott, was a native of Ohio and a pioneer in Iowa and spent a great many years of his life in Wapello county. On the maternal side Dr. Scott is a descendant of Jordan Winslow, of England. The father of our subject is well known in business circles of Farson, where for many years he conducted a general merchandise store and where he is now living retired.

Dr. Scott acquired his early education in the public schools of his native section and afterward studied his profession at the Keokuk Dental College. He was graduated from this institution with the degree of D. D. S. in 1908 and afterward located for practice in Keosauqua, where he spent two years. He came to Seymour in 1910 and has since built up a liberal patronage here. He has gained recognition as one of the able and successful dentists in the city and by his well directed work, his high professional attainments and his sterling characteristics has justified the respect and confidence in which he is held by his fellow citizens and the local public.
