Scott Inquest to Be Held Here on Wednesday Night Local Businessman Dies From Injuries When Struck by Car
An inquest into the death of Robert Scott is to be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, it was stated yesterday by County Coroner J. Warden Opie.
Scott, owner of Scott’s bakery and prominent in local L.D.S. church activities, died at Wyoming General hospital at 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon from a crushed chest and other severe injuries suffered late Friday night when he was struck by an automobile driven by Cecil Headd as he was crossing the street in front of the L.D.S. church.
Scott had been attending the Green and Gold ball in the church hall and was crossing to his own car when struck. Headd was not traveling more than 15 miles an hour when he hit Scott, it is said.
Funeral services are to be held at 2 o’clock this afternoon in the local L.D.S. church with Bishop James officiating.
Robert Scott was born Feb. 19, 1879 in Lanark, Scotland, the oldest son of Thomas Scott and Mary Young Scott.
He grew to manhood in Scotland and England and received his higher education at Oxford university. Later, in one of his father’s shops in London, he took his apprenticeship as a baker.
In 1907 he entered America. He came directly to Wyoming, spending the first few years in and around Cody where much of his time was taken up in geological research.
Mr. Scott took out naturalization papers in Cody in 1917 and immediately volunteered his services to his new country in the World war. He had five brothers fighting in the war under the British flag. One, his baby brother, lost his life in action.
It was in 1918 that he married Patty S. Hatch and they took up their residence in Rock Springs. Except for a period of two years, this has been their home ever since their marriage. Mr. Scott went into the bakery business on O street in 1922.
Mr. Scott had been an enthusiastic worker in civic projects. Boy scout work was a most sincere hobby with him. For many years he was a member of the Rock Springs troop committee and was loved and appreciated by every boy who had come under his tutorship.
He had a broad education in music and a deep appreciation of it.
With the organization of the Lyman Stake in 1925, he was selected and set apart as one of the Twelve High Councilmen representing the Latter Day Saints church in this district.
Mr. Scott is survived by his wife; Mrs. Thorald B. Rollins of Chicago, Ill., and Mrs. Frank H. Brown of Lowell, Wyo.; Wilder Truce Hatch of Byron, Wyo.
Several brothers and sisters of Mr. Scott also survive, none of whom live in this country. Many friends will remember one of Mr. Scott’s sisters, Lady Isabelle Chayter of London, England, who visited in Rock Springs two years ago.
Mr. Scott was a nephew of J.B. Young, George Young and Mrs. Robert Fletcher of Rock Springs and Mrs. John Abraham, a former Rock Springs resident now living in Byron, Wyo. Other relatives in Rock Springs are Mr. and Mrs. Robert Pryde of Long Beach, Calif.
Funeral arrangements are being conducted by Wildermuth funeral home.
