Montrose MO - Prominent Montrose Citizen Dead - George E. Schiller was born July 13, 1871, at Union, Mo., and died in Wesley Hospital, Kansas City, August 4, 1933, being 62 years of age. In young manhood he came to Montrose and after a few years established the business which he had conducted successfully since that time. He was married April 18, 1904, to Miss Orlettie Dorward. She, with two daughters, Mrs. T. S. Simpson, of Nogales, Arizona, and Jeannette, of the home, survive. Mr. Schiller was at all times a Christian gentleman and gave of his time and means to support the gospel of Christ. He was a member of the Methodist church, and was also a loyal member of the Masonic Lodge of Montrose, and endeavored to uphold the principles and ideals for which it stands. At the beginning of our conflict with Spain he enlisted in his country's service and valiantly strove to maintain the honor and the integrity of a true, patriotic soldier. Illness, however, prevented his going to Cuba, and for four long, weary months he suffered, being a victim of that dread malady, typhoid fever, which at that time, ravaged the rank and file of the United States Army. Far from home, in a government hospital at Fortress Monroe, Va., he fought this disease from which he never fully recovered. Mr. Schiller was a musician of marked ability and this talent was a source of pleasure in his home and in the community. Band circles, near and far will miss him. In his home circle he found his chief pleasure, and he was never happier than when working to improve and beautify his home for the loved family. 'Twas a home with a great measure of peace and contentment. George Schiller will be missed in both the social and business life of the town. His ready wit, his kindly, genial nature, and his love for the worthwhile things of life, endeared him to young and old, and his life was rich in friendships. The measure of a life is not in the number of years lived, but in the spending of those y ears, whether they be many or few. The success of a life is not measured by stocks and bonds, but by those invisible treasures stored in the Bank of Heaven. A good man has gone. This neighbor with his cheery smile and friendly greeting will pass our way no more. His little family long will grieve, but the influence of his life will linger on as a sweet melody. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Methodist church with rev. S. R. Dillman, of Appleton City, a former pastor and dear friend, of the deceased, in charge. Rev. C. E. Nickerson, pastor of the local church, assisted. A trumpet quartet, led by Professor Charley Fisk, of butler, rendered selections. Mr. Fisk was a former comrade of Mr. Schiller, having been conductor of the 6th Missouri Regiment Band, of which organization Mr. Schiller was a member during the Spanish-American War. The last rites were conducted at the graveside under the direction of the Masonic lodge, and as taps were sounded the body was gently lowered to its last resting place, there to await the Master's summons. Relatives and friends from out of town who were present at the services were: Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Simpson and Mrs. Sidney Simpson of Nogales, Ariz.; Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Wilson of Excelsior, Minn.; H. C. Beckman of Mineola, Tex.; Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Baker, of Sarcoxie, Mo.; and A. J. Mann, of Clinton. Mrs. Schiller is a cousin of A. J. Mann.

Her maiden name was Ruby Paul, being the eldest child of George Paul and wife, who live on South Carter street. She was born in Clinton 31 years ago the 9th of last January. She had been a member of the Baptist church since a young girl, and was held in high esteem by a wide circle of friends. About 12 years ago, she was united in marriage with J. W. Schlapper, who survives her with one little, Levi Paul, who is 8 years of age. Their first child, a son, died in infancy. Besides the grief-stricken parents, husband and little son, she leaves one brother, Mark Paul, of Little Rock, Arkansas, and two sisters, Mrs. E. L. Rissell, of Clinton, and Miss Julian Paul, who is employed in Kansas City. The deepest sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved ones in this dark hour of sorrow, and may they look to the Heavenly Father for comfort, for He alone can heal the hearts so torn with grief. And may the Savior gently guide the footsteps of the little son, who will be so sadly miss the loving mother care through life. She was never too tired or busy to stop and help him in whatever trouble he brought to her, and although the father and grandparents will try to fill her place, no one can take the place of mother.

To the land of her adoption, she leaves as citizens, sons and daughters who stand for the highest type of civilization and civic righteousness. Mother Schmidli had been in failing health for some time due to high blood pressure, but seemed in her usual health. On Sunday, May 3rd, she attended Sunday school at Finey in the morning, ate dinner in the home of O. E. Smiley, visited in the home of Mrs. Stephens in the afternoon. On Monday morning when her daughter Leza went into her room and asked her how she felt, she said, "I don't know what's the matter." Leza called Jake and told him "something is wrong with mother." He then went and spoke to her and she made the same remark. They called their brother, Henry, and Dr. Logan, of Warsaw at once. the doctor said she had suffered a stroke due to a ruptured blood vessel which had caused partial paralysis of mind and speech. All that medical skill and loving hands could do, was done to prolong her life, but she gradually grew worse and at ten o'clock on the night of the 28th, she slipped quietly and peacefully away to join her husband who preceded her on December 18, 1928. Funeral services were held at the Finey Baptist church Saturday, May the 30th. She was laid to rest by the side of her husband under a wealth of beautiful flowers.

Besides the companion and children, he leaves 15 grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn his going. He was active and working about the farm until Thursday, the 13th, when he took cold and was confined to the house, but his condition was not thought serious until Monday, when Dr. Logan, of Warsaw, was called and pronounced it high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries. Tuesday morning the neighbors thought him better and went home. Only the wife and three children - Jake and Leza, of the home, and son Henry, nearby, were present when the end came. Such is the history of this good man, but to the writer, who has had the pleasure of enjoying the hospitality of this home for nearly half a century, it is fitting to say that in the passing of Mr. Schmidli the entire neighborhood has lost a friend for he was loved and honored by all who knew him. It was a pleasure to talk with him because of his high ideals of life. He was always posted on the current events of the day, being a great reader. He loved music, having played in the band in his native land, also in St. Louis. Funeral services were held at the Finey Baptist Church Thursday, the 20th. The pall bearers were four sons - John, Henry, Will and Jake and one son-in-law, H. A. Haverland. The children were all present at the funeral except Coon and Mrs. John Young, who was unable to come because of sickness in her own home. The remains were laid to rest in the Finey cemetery beneath a beautiful floral offering, there to await the judgment morn.

Daily Democrat, Clinton MO, Sep 21 2006 - Eunice Catherine Schussler, 86, Butler, died August 29, 2006, at St. Joseph Medical Center in Kansas City. She was born on a snowy Easter Sunday April 4, 1920, on a farm near Germantown to Louis and Caroline (Cook) Westhusing. It wasn't until her 8th birthday that she celebrated her birthday again on Easter Sunday. Eunice's schooling included grade school at St. Ludger's in Germantown and two years of high school at Johnstown. She wanted to be a nurse, but quit school in order to help her mother. After having four brothers, a highlight of Eunice's life was the birth of her baby sister Arlene. She worked at Grace's Cafe in Clinton prior to her marriage to former classmate Cletus Schussler in 1946. Two daughters were born, Doris Ann and Darlene Sue. Eunice settled into being a housewife and mother, gardening and canning in a house lacking modern conveniences until moving to a modern house on a farm east of Butler in 1962. Eunice continued to maintain many contacts with friends and family in the Germantown and Montrose areas. She enjoyed helping the ladies quilt and always attended the Labor Day picnics at Germantown. Eunice also loved the fact that her brother Linus Westhusing, lived on the family farm. In Butler she became active with the ladies at St. Patrick's Church in Butler and in later years was known as the Best Choice Label Lady. For church dinners, Eunice provided the angel food cake, a tradition that will be carried out by her longtime neighbor and friend Hazel Lesmeister. In the last 10 years, failing eyesight prevented her from driving or reading. Eunice then became a phone friend and with her cell phone was able to continue friendships with relatives and friends who looked forward to her calls. Eunice became quite resourceful and was able to continue with cooking, housework and involvement with two card party groups. Failing sight did not deter her from doing most things about the house, including having Easter and Christmas holidays, making chocolate fudge, butterscotch fudge and peanut clusters. Her granddaughters looked forward to enjoying her meat loaf at the family dinners. Most of Eunice's life was spent in caring and kindness to others. Living near the Butler hospital, she was able to easily hear the helicopter and prayed for each patient transported. A devout Catholic, she usually attended a daily mass and prayed the Rosary. Mass of Christian Burial was held September 2, followed by interment at Oak Hill Cemetery, Butler. Eunice is survived by her husband Cletus Schussler, Butler; two daughters, Doris and husband Lynn Fuller, Butler, and Darlene Sowell, Raymore; son-in-law Chris Sowell, Raymore; three brothers, Elmer Westhusing, Urich, Linus and wife Dorothy Westhusing, Montrose, and Glen and wife Alice Westhusing, Montrose; one sister, Arlene and husband Greg Schussler, Deepwater, and sister-in-law Hazel Westhusing, Moville, Iowa, and four grandchildren, Melody Appleberry, Raymore, Julie and husband Chadd Beydler, Joplin, Lindsey Sowell and Kelly Sowell, both of Lee's Summit, and grandson-in-law Travis Appleberry, Belton.

Nov 26 1953 - Former Pastor Reads Rites For Mrs. Schweer - Funeral services for Mrs. George W. Schweer were conducted Nov. 16 at the family home in Clinton. Burial was in Laurel Oak cemetery in that city, with the Huston-Turner Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Mrs. Schweer was laid to rest at the side of her husband, who preceded her in death August 12, 1935. Mrs. Schweer passed away at 10:30 a. m. Saturday, November 14, at St. Mary's Hospital in Jefferson City. She had fallen on the walk at her home on North Third Street in Clinton on October 16 and suffered a serious fracture of the hip bone. Her daughter, Miss Ann Schweer, who teaches in Jefferson City, came to Clinton immediately and took her mother to the hospital in Jefferson City, where she could have the attention of a bone specialist and where she could be nearby for a daily personal visit with her mother. Mrs. Schweer had excellent health all of her life up to the time of her fall. She had never before had any serious illness or been in a hospital for care. She stood the operation on her leg very well. It required placing five bone splinters together, held in place by a stainless steel band attached to the bone. She improved daily and seemed quite well early in the morning of her death. A sudden heart attack lasting only thirty seconds came without apparent pain just before her death on November 14, just one month after her fall. Mrs. Schweer's sweet personality had made her a favorite patient at the hospital and she had endeared herself to the many nurses who gave her special personal attention and expert care. Mrs. Lucina Elizabeth Holloway Schweer was born January 16, 1869 in Maries County, Missouri, a daughter of George B. and Sarah Huffman Holloway. She moved to a farm home in Benton County, Mo., near Santiage, when a child and here she attended the rural schools and spent her girlhood days. In 1898, she was married to George W. Schweer, who at that time owned and operated a general store in Windsor, Mo. Mr. Schweer later served twelve years as postmaster of Windsor. He organized the Missouri Union Telephone Company, of which he became manager. This company put in the first telephones in Henry County. Mrs. Schweer was a devoted and loyal mother to Mr. Schweer's five children, as she was to her own two daughters and one son later born to her. Patience and understanding were marked characteristics of her personality. Mr. and Mrs. Schweer and family were all members of the Christian Church of Windsor. In 1917, the family moved to Clinton, where Mr. Schweer could better attend to his duties as manager of the Missouri Union Telephone Company. They transferred their church membership to the First Christian Church of Clinton. Surviving Mrs. Schweer are: her son, T. R. Schweer of Sao Paulo, Brazil, who is with the Federal Express Co.; Mrs. Harry F. Covington of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, whose husband is president and manager of the Federal Express Company; Miss Ann Schweer, a teacher in the Simonsen High School at Jefferson City.

Clinton MO - Henry S. G. Scott Passes - Henry S. G. Scott, a respected citizen, succumbed to an attack of heart failure and diabetes, the later having afflicted him the past seven years, at 5:15 p.m. Thursday at his home on East Ohio street. He had been able to be about his home and the neighborhood, however, until last Sunday, since when he had been confined to his bed. He suffered the last days and had a premonition of the end, but it came and he went quickly and without struggle. Henry S. Geyer Scott was born in St. Charles, Mo., December 11, 1850, and as a young child came with his parents to Benton county settling on a farm 7 miles south of Leesville, on the Henry and Benton county line. He attended the old pay school of the neighborhood and worked on a farm when, until the restlessness of boyhood seized him and hoeing corn grew too irksome, he started for Texas, walking all the way, which trip took him four months. There, an elderly country doctor and his wife took him into their home, but when an old Indian, Ghore, lured him to the frontier with thrilling tales of the exciting and rugged life further west his roving spirit could not resist, so he was outfitted with a cowboy's equipment, sombrero, heeled boots, flannel shirt, chaps, cartridge belt with so many round of ammunition that he could not carry it all. In the 13 years he was in Texas he was home once, between the seventh and eighth years and on that trip met at Nevada Miss Lillie Scott whom he later married. When he reached home, his two dogs that in the 7 years he had been gone would not let a stranger on the place, came to meet him a half mile from the house. He climbed on a fence, thinking they would tear him to pieces, not wanting to shoot them, but coming closer they crouched and whined and rolled over until he recognized them. He could hardly get to the house for the dogs clambering about him. In the afternoon of November 25, 1879, Henry S. G. Scott and Miss Lillie Scott were married at Nevada by Rev. D. C. Hunter, lifetime friend of both families. They came on to Clinton the same afternoon and stopped at the old Heckler House before continuing out east to his father's farm, where they stayed until spring. They then moved to a farm nearby where they raised two crops but as they neither one liked farming, loaded their household goods all into a two horse wagon and came to Clinton. Evening coming on they stopped at the old Irvin Couse grocery, a frame building on the site of the present defunct Clinton National bank building, got some groceries and having heard about the Kate Royston property, 306 West Ohio street, next door to the old Kate Rogers property (her mother's home) they drove there and took up their abode living there some 20 years. Mr. Scott went into the broom making business with E. D. Canan, later traveled, selling the brooms as their business grew and finally owned the business. In 1899 he went into the grocery store with his brother-in-law, O. W. Knisely at the corner of Ohio and Seventh streets. There for many years they enjoyed a fine business and the children of the east end of Clinton were warmly welcomed in their "copper" shopping on the way to and from school or in vacation time. Mr. Scott retired from the store for several years then went back to it for three years time, selling out in 1928, July after a very slight stroke. He had in the meantime built a residence at 612 E. Ohio, then in 1915 the modern and comfortable home at 306 East Ohio street, where he and Mrs. Scott have continued to live. There, surrounded by friends and the love of a devoted wife, Mr. Scott spent his last years, generous and kindly disposed to all people, interested in the little folks of the neighborhood who loved him greatly in return. He was ever a loyal member in the Southern Methodist church, and his good, fine life is elegy enough, speaking for itself. The funeral services were Saturday. He was carried to rest in Englewood.

Daily Democrat, Clinton MO, Nov 15 2006 - Funeral services for John Raymond Scott, 84, Deepwater, were held Saturday, November 4, at First Baptist Church of Lowry City. Burial was in the Lowry City Cemetery. John Raymond Scott of Deepwater, died early Friday morning, October 27, 2006, at Sioux Falls, South Dakota cardiac care facility from complications from a heart attack and congestive heart failure. He died doing what he loved, pheasant hunting with family and friends in the beautiful South Dakota countryside, in the midst of the harvest, and among the corn and bean fields that give life to that magnificent American game bird, the ring-necked pheasant. This 40th annual South Dakota hunting trip proved to be his last, but it renewed for him his love for family and friends, for small town, rural America, and for the great outdoors that he cherished so much. The Jim and Bonnie Literrick family of Howard, South Dakota, was his "other family", a family that he dearly treasured and their neighbors were his "northern cousins". John Raymond Scott, or Raymond as he was popularly known was born July 2, 1922, in Ogden, Iowa, as the second child of John Edward and Grace Myrtle (Crawford) Scott. He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife of 64 plus years, Mary Catherine (Roy) Scott; his elder brother Crawford Edward; his younger brother William Donald, and his younger sister Lois Jean (Scott) Vincent. Survivors include his remaining sibling, brother Eddy Lee Scott, as well as four daughters and four sons and their spouses, Art and Judith Pamela (Scott) Neuenschwander of Deepwater, John Edward Scott II of Henderson, Nevada, Raymond Crawford and Carol Scott of Springfield, James Michael Scott of Lowry City, Jeanna Marie (Scott) Selvaggio, Joplin, William Glen and Michelle Scott of Belton, Rebecca Caye Scott and Douglas and Lois Janelle (Scott) McCall, all of Joplin. He is also survived by 22 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandson and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Raymond was raised in the Kansas City area but spent many weekends, holidays and summer school vacations in the Deepwater and Lowry City area visiting relatives and working in the hayfields and cornfields, putting up hay and cutting corn by hand. He often said, "Hard, manual labor was a good incentive to stay in school and get a good education." But, what really brightened his eyes and quickened his smile was to listen quietly on the knee or at the arm of the elders who told tales of old about the years gone by. Grandpa and Grandma Scott in Deepwater and Grandpa and Grandma Crawford, across the Osage River at Valhalla near Talley Bend, were some of his particular favorite story tellers, but his aunts and uncles filled in the missing links. He loved visiting his "country" cousins, for all of the rascally young boy escapades that a pair of bib overalls, bare feet and the great outdoors can provide. The richness, but simplicity of farm life with the fried chicken, apple pies, feather beds, homemade quilts and lots of Grandma Love were memories he cherished throughout his life. He was graduated from North Kansas City High School in May 1940 and began working fulltime for his father in the construction trades. But, October 11, 1941, proved to be the luckiest day in his life. On that day, he was united in marriage to his wife of 64 plus years, Mary Catherine Roy, a fellow graduate of North Kansas City High School from the Class of 1941. She was an absolute gem, the rarest of finds, who gave him eight wonderful children, and loved him and cared for him like no man could ever deserve. And then came December 7, 1941, the beginning of World War II for the United States of America. His older brother, Crawford, of whom he was inseparable as both youngster and as a young man, was killed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor while stationed as a US Marine on board the USS Arizona. This devastating and unprovoked attack on the Hawaiian Islands resulted in American men from all walks of life rushing to the enlistment stations to serve their nation. Raymond enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942 and served as a Technical Sergeant with the 879th Engineer Aviation Battalion, constructing tactical runways and roads in the China-Burma-India Theater until his discharge in late 1945. He was happy to return to civilian life and to his wife and firstborn daughter Judy. He returned to the construction trades with his father who was involved in several post-war residential housing tracts in Kansas City (North) and who later built the Jefferson Park and Washington elementary schools in Clinton. Later, he began working for other construction companies as a carpenter foreman, a bricklayer and brick foreman. Then, he went on to become a commercial construction project superintendent, a co-owner and ultimately owner of his own company, Westport Construction Company of Clinton. A few projects upon which he worked, or built, include Whiteman Air Force Base residential housing; elementary, vo-tech and high schools in Gower, Clinton, Archie, Greenwood, Ruskin Heights, Sherwood and Holden; as well as Overland Park, Kansas. Other notable construction projects included the Golden Valley Hospital, the Wetzel Clinic and the Westwood Nursing Home of Clinton, the Warsaw Clinic, and nursing homes in Concordia and Laurie, and several other communities. Simply stated, his professional career was dedicated to completing high-quality commercial projects for the citizens of many West Central Missouri communities until his retirement in 2002. Upon his return from the service in 1945 and like many young men of his age and working in the construction trades, he fell prey to the intoxicating and addicting lure of alcohol. It started simply as an after-work drink with the boys, followed by a Friday night end-of-the-week relaxing celebration over a few beers, that transitioned into whiskey, wine and an oppressive life-controlling downward spiral into drunken addiction. He fought a hard battle with the bottle through the 1950s and the 1960s and for lengthy periods was sober as a judge. but, the temptation and alluring attraction of casual drinks with several successive friends or business associates over the years would inevitably draw him back under its spell. He couldn't stop. He was a drunk and he knew it, but he didn't know at the time what his drinking had done emotionally and psychologically to his wife and children over the years. Finally in 1973, at the loss of a good friend from a tragic auto accident related to his friend's drinking, he admitted defeat and checked himself into the St. John's Hospital Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Clinic in Springfield. This period of clinically supervised self-examination, psychiatric counseling and medical assistance coupled with his fervent prayers to God for freedom from this curse allowed him to finally break the chains that bound him. His prayers were answered. It was a glorious day for him and his family, a glorious day that he shared with many, including his newfound friends in Alcoholics Anonymous, an organization that he joined and remained a member of for several years of fellowship and encouragement among all involved. In closing this chapter of his life, he would want to say to each of you, for the sake of you and your family and your friends and your employer, please don't fall prey to alcohol or drugs. And if you have, seek help, through medical care and through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Early in his adult life and with the sponsorship of his father, Raymond became an active member of the Masons, the Scottish Rite and the Shriners in Kansas City. A member of the Lowry City School Board in the 1960s and 1970s, he served as president of the board for several of those years. He would lead the board in budgeting and financing for the new school year and would lead the discussions in the hiring of new superintendents of schools and numerous teachers, but he was never happier or prouder than when he was able to present high school graduation diplomas to his children, his nieces and nephews, and many of your relatives too. He also was a member of American Legion Post 604 of Lowry City and was involved in their various state and national conventions, as well as many local community projects. He particularly loved the Summer Youth League Baseball program and the various teams of young boys living out their dreams of being major league stars, the Pee Wees, Little League, Babe Ruth, American Legion and Ban Johnson. And, of course, the Memorial day weekend barbecue and baseball event was quite an undertaking, but a real delight for him. A member of the Lowry City Optimists Club, he served as president and later as lieutenant governor and undertook several community betterment projects in and around Lowry City. He donated the materials and helped in the construction for the bleachers and concession stand at the Lowry City baseball field. He sanded, refinished and repainted the basketball floor for the Lowry City Gymnasium. He never forgot his high schoolmates and kept in touch over the years with many of them. An avid bird hunter and fisherman, he loved Missouri quail hunts and South Dakota pheasant hunts, as well as catfish and bass fishing in Missouri lakes and ponds, and trout fishing at Lake Taneycomo. Raymond was saved by faith in a motel room in Clinton, Iowa, while working on a construction project in that area with his father. He attended Wright's Creek and Shady Grove Baptist churches and was later baptized at the First Baptist Church of Lowry City. He served as a church deacon of the First Baptist Church for several years in the mid to late 1970s. He was a Southern Baptist who shared his solid rock faith with many among us, who was firm and unshakable in his conviction of the irrefutable truth of the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The sermons of Charles H. Spurgeon, the noted English Baptist minister of the 1880s, were often an inspiration to him. He was a conservative Republican of Eisenhower and Reagan vintage who believed in limited government powers and the strength of local self-governance. He was a proud American, who served his country in time of war and would challenge each of you to find your own personal way to serve your country and your fellow man, as well. He was an avid reader, a lover of American history and a well-informed voter, who insisted on you and me exercising the honor and privilege to vote in this unique and wonderful country of ours. He loved genealogy and was fascinated by the extended sense of family. He had traced his Scott family line and heritage back to the birth of his 5th great-grandfather John Scott, born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1706. He was a generous man. He would argue with you in one breath and give the shirt off his back the next. If you needed a dime, he'd give his last nickel, and go borrow the other one for you from someone else. He helped various church missions and charities like the good Samaritan Home for boys, north of Springfield. He took no particular pride in his own living circumstances, but gave of his resources freely to others. And, also know, as many of us do, he was in general, highly opinionated, often argumentative and sometimes just outright cantankerous. His son John, said that in discussion or debate, his father often exhibited all of the flexibility of well-set concrete.

Shortly thereafter, Lonnie and Lena moved to a rural area near Yukon, Oklahoma, where they built a new home. Lena continued to live there after Lonnie's death in 1974.

Life Work Of Mrs. N. E. Scott Over - It was on Saturday night near the time of Sunset, at 6:20 p.m., April 28, 1928, that the life work of Mrs. N. E. Scott was ended at her home on Rogers Avenue. August 31, 1927 she was first stricken with a cerebral hemorrage. Then it was thought perhaps she would not live, but she got better and went home with her daughter, Mrs. Mont Bornard, to Salem, Mo., where she got much better under the tender care, but she was not satisfied to be away from her afflicted husband or her aged mother, so returned in three weeks. In February this year she was again stricken and got better, but the fatal illness came just about a week previous to her death. She was concious until Thursday and knew her children and granddaughter, when they arrived. Mary Jane Stanton was born June 4, 1859, at Smith Bend, what was then Benton county, but what is now St. Clair. There she grew up learning the virtues of womanhood from one of the best women in the world, her mother, Mrs. James Stanton. She learned how to be a real neighbor; being good and kind were more important than the eternal rush for wealth. The result of this training every life was made better with whom she came in contact. She was united in marriage with N. E. Scott February 14, 1877, at the family home near Leesville, by the late Rev. Thos. Briggs. They lived near Shawnee Mound, then came to Clinton, which has been her home for near 40 years. Mr. Scott was employed at the White Swan Mill for many years. To comfort and care for the bereaved husband are the following children - James W. Scott, Phillipine Islands; Milo B. and John Scott, Lawton, Okla.; Mrs. Mont Bernard, Salem. There are nine grandchildren. One, Wyota Lee, the eldest daughter of Milo Scott, was raised by Mrs. Scott, as she was a very frail child and her parents being in business were unable to give her the proper care. All the grandchildren would rather come to her home than any place else in the world. She also leaves her mother, Mrs. James Stanton, who is 88 years old and who has lived with Mrs. Scott a number of years, and the following brothers and sisters - John Stanton, Goodland, Kas.; Alec Stanton, Benkelman, Neb.; Mrs. John Smith, Smith Bend; Mrs. E. Wallen, Eldorado Springs, Mo. She was converted at the age of 19 and united with the presbyterian church at Leesville. She also belonged to the Women's Circle of G.A.R. She always gave herself to others. She cheered those she knew along life's pathway. The funeral services were conducted at the Christian church Sunday. Burial was in Englewood beside her son, Howard, who died in service for his country a number of years ago.

Daily Democrat, Clinton MO, Mar 20 2006 - W. D. (Scotty) Scott, 85, Clinton, died Friday morning, March 17, 2006, at his home. Funeral services were Monday, March 20, at First Baptist Church, Clinton, with burial in Englewood Cemetery, Clinton. He was born in Archie. He managed P.A. Cowan Lumber Company for 43 years. He also was a farmer. He was a veteran serving in the United States Army during World War II. He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Clinton, 50-year member of the Masonic Lodge and Clinton Rotary Club. He is survived by his wife Hazel of the home; three children, Lenny Scott and Larry Scott, and one daughter Sandra Spooner, all of Clinton; one sister, Evelyn Scott of Clinton, and six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. - William Douglas Scott (Scotty) was born in Archie, Missouri on October 8, 1920. At the age of 85 Scotty went home to be with his Heavenly Father. He was preceded in death by his parents, George Franklin Scott and Lena Noble Scott. His sister, Evelyn, resides at Westwood Nursing Home. Scotty and Hazel Pauline McLain were married October 11, 1941 just three days after turning 21, honoring his parents' wishes to wait until he was 21 to marry. Scotty and Hazel celebrated 64 wonderful years of marriage, blessing one another and together blessing others. Scotty and Hazel have three children: Larry, Lenny, and Sandra. Larry and Georgie Scott, Lenny and Dinah Scott, and Sandra and Tom Spooner all reside in the Clinton area. The six granddaughters that reside in Clinton are Jane and John Minihan, Susan and Bob Hutcherson, Tara and Scott Richardson, Joie Scott, Angela and Matt Lowe, and Halley Scott. Scotty and Hazel have been grandparents to Scott Spooner in Colorado, Melissa Parise in Chicago, and Nick Spooner in Kansas City. They have five great grandsons and two great granddaughters: Annie, Scott, Cody, Douglas, Dillon, Mason, and Suzy. Scotty joined the Army in 1943 and served approximately three years in New Guinea and the Philippines. Scotty started working at P.A. Cowan Lumber Company on June 13, 1939 right after high school graduation. World War II started and you had to have a priority number to purchase lumber and things slowed down at the lumber yard so he went to work in DeSoto, Kansas on the Sun Flower Ammunition Plant for a short while until he was able to get a job back in the Clinton area with the Crowe Coal Co. It was from there that he joined the Army on May 3, 1943 to serve his country. Upon returning home from the war, Scotty went right back to work at P.A. Cowan and was there for 43 years. In Scotty's own words he wrote, "loved every day of it." This was Scotty's disposition and attitude throughout life - he loved every day of it. Two weeks before his death, Scotty was plowing gardens in the neighborhood. He loved to help people, make short visits with everyone; he never met a stranger and liked everyone. After retirement he enjoyed driving cars for the General Motors car dealerships in Clinton and did that until just recently Scotty kept track of miles driven. At one time he averaged 40,000 miles a year moving cars around. Scotty's priority was his family. He loved each one and supported each one by farming, running errands, carpentry work, fixing repairs. You name it and he was ready to help. Scotty also spent each spring helping Larry and Lenny farm several acres while always having time to help all of the kids with moving equipment, baling hay, carpentry work, errands, repairs, and whatever they asked him to do. He enjoyed fishing too. He went to Bennett Springs every March 1 for many years with his good buddies. During deer season he was the official chili maker. Scotty was a cook in the Army. Hazel tells about asking Scotty to go to the store for groceries when he came home from the service. He would buy several pounds of pepper because he was used to cooking for 3,000 to 4,000 people each meal. Church was very important to Scotty. First Baptist Church in Clinton was his church home for over 60 years. Scotty became a Christian right before he was married to Hazel. Scotty loved his family and friends. Just as we celebrate his life here, Scotty is celebrating his new home with his Heavenly Father.
