'Fergus County Democrat,' Lewistown, MT
20 August 1914, page 5:
James Scott Brewer died early yesterday at his ranch near Kolin, after an illness of a week of heart trouble. The deceased was 84 years of age, having been born in Frederick county, near Winchester, Va., Aug. 4, 1830. At the age of 19 years, he held a position as overseer of 100 negroes on a Virginia plantation. Later he moved to St. Joseph, Mo., where he engaged in the livery business, for several years. He then went to Denver, and from there crossed the plains with a bull train down into California. The first rumors of gold in Montana called him to Virginia City, and in 1864 he went to White Sulphur Springs and made his home and earned a prominent place as one of Montana's pioneers. He was a member of the Pioneers' association of Montana and claimed a part in the upbuilding of the state. He lived in White Sulphur Springs until five years ago, when he went to his homestead near Kolin. Mr. Brewer was married in 1893 to Elinor E. Armstrong of New York, and Mrs. Brewer and her two daughters, Ruth Marie and Grace Montana remain to mourn his loss. Mrs. Brewer and her daughters are now engaged by the Redpath Lyceum bureau in concert work throughout the United States. Mrs. Brewer was a resident of Lewistown for six or seven years, and was a member of the high school faculty as superintendent of music. She was summoned from Iowa and was at the bedside when death came. The daughters were not able to be present. The body, which was prepared for burial by Undertaker Creel, will be sent to his old home in White Sulphur Springs today, and funeral services will be held on Wednesday.
