AARON SCOTT ANSWERS CALL
GOOD CITIZEN AND SOLDIER DIED AT THE HOME OF HIS DAUGHTER
LAST EVENING.
PARTICIPATED IN 26 BATTLES
Aaron Scott, 83, well known war veteran of this city, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Daisy Daugherty, 2207 South B street, last night at 11:30 o'clock of a complication of diseases. It was known that Comrade Scott was soon to answer a heavenly roll call yet his death is none the less sincerely regretted by those who knew him.
He was born in Hancock county, near Greenfield, June 5, 1835 and was married to Manilda Ellsberry, the family removing to this vicinity in 1866 where they have since resided.
To their union twelve children were born, of whom eight survive. They are Mrs. Nannie Robertson, Mrs. Daisy Daugherty, Mrs. Carrie Quinn, Omar, Miles and Ed Scott, of this city, Mrs. Lodina Pontius, of Yakahama, Washington and Mrs. Cora Nuding of Indianapolis.
ENVIABLE WAR RECORD.
Comrade Scott had a war record of which he was very proud. He enlisted at the outbreak of the conflict in the Eighth Indiana Infantry and fought in that command and the Eighteenth until the war ended, having participated in 26 battles. He was a valued member of the G. A. post and attended all of the reunions of the veterans.
He was a good soldier, a good citizen and an appreciated friend and the bereaved relatives have the sympathy of all of the people of the city who knew this long time resident and liked him much.
The funeral services will be conducted at the Holiness Christian church in East Main street Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock by the pastor Rev. Barnes and the burial will be
in the city cemetery, by the Grand Army, with the honors of war, beside his wife, who preceded him to her last resting place twenty-four years ago.
