Sarah Frances Hoyt, or "Fannie" as she was known, was born in the jail in Hastings, Michigan, where her father was a minister. Her mother, Sarah Mariah Foote, the wife of Rev. Zerah Taylor Hoyt, was walking in town when Fannie decided to be born, and the jail was the closest place for the big event! Her uncle described her as a pretty girl with black hair and dark eyes.
Fannie married Edward Irvin Scott (known as Irvin) who founded Scott Paper Company with his brothers.
Fannie and Irvin Scott had two children, Arthur Hoyt Scott, who succeeded his father as president of Scott Paper Company, and Margaret "Daisy" Scott who married Owen Moon (later interim president after Arthur died).
Fannie was also involved in the company. When the panic of 1907 almost meant the end of Scott Paper company, she appeared at a company meeting and urged and inspired them to continue:
"Winter lies ahead, our men have families to clothe and feed and keep warm. For them we must strive to find some way to carry on; then if we must fail, we will all go down together." The company did survive through the dedicated efforts of the Scotts and their employees. Today, Scott Paper Company is part of Kimberly-Clark Corporation.
