FRANK W. AND SADIE SCOTT
Frank W. Scott was one of the real old time Trail Drivers and cowboys of the early days of Texas. He and his brother Fred, whose statue is in the Panhandle-Plains Historical museum in Canyon, Texas, were among the first cowboys to join Charlie Goodnight in the great cattle drive. This drive was through Texas out to the Pecos River into Old Ft. Sumner and into far out New Mexico.
Frank Scott was born in Kentucky, March 12, 1866. He moved to Texas, Palo Pinto County, when a very small boy, but with his family they came to Swisher County when Frank was still a young lad. Their first home was a dugout in the side of a hill on the North Tulle canyon. Then twenty-three years old, he met and married Sadie Elizabeth Baker. The Baker family was moving from Clay County to the plains in 1886. They had camped south of the main cap rock. The man and boys had to do some road work before they could get their wagons up on the plains. Frank Scott and a John Ferris came along and saw the plight the family was in. So these two strangers pitched in and helped. After several days work they were able to pull their wagons out on top of the "cap". At that time Frank and Ferris were holding down a camp for Charlie Goodnight at a place now called Silverton.
Frank and Sadie continued to see each other - consequently a courtship ensued. About the time Swisher County was organized, Frank gave up his work on the J. A. Ranch and filed on a section of land. This land was a mile northeast of Tulia. Frank and his sweetheart were married in Hale Center, Nov. 9, 1889.
Frank was appointed the first sheriff of Swisher County and elected for the fourth term as sheriff. He and his wife continued to live in Tulia for many, many years, rearing a family of one son, Frank C. (who was the second baby born in Tulia), Willie and twins Eula and Euna. Frank C. married Daphne Bangle, Willie married Steve S. Williams, Eula is Mrs. C. R. Bowen, and Euna is Mrs. Andrew Glover.
Frank W. Scott and Horton Tracy established the Scott-Tracy Hardware and International Implement Co. For many years they maintained stores in Tulia, Happy, and Kress. Frank's hobby was fishing and playing golf. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge, loved and respected by all who knew him. He was known for his uprightness and soundness of character. He was a truly wonderful oldtimer and pioneer of Swisher County.
Sadie Scott was a dear beloved wife and mother. She was active in the Eastern Star, First Baptist Church, and she loved to work in the Baptist Ladies Aid.
The Scotts had a good, interesting and fruitful life. They are now at rest in our Rose Hill Cemetery, Tulia, Texas.
