Thanks go to Cousin Cornelia Buck Key for notifing me of the death of Cousin
Robert Lee Scott, who died last week, on Dec. 26th.
His mother was Elizabeth Seiders of NJ, daughter of Myra Arline Buck (1884 -
1976), daughter of Emma E. Congdon (1843 - 1928), daughter of Sarah Campbell
(1824 - 1892), daughter of Joseph Campbell (1793 - 1864) and Ann Clinch
(1804 - 1872).
I never was able to contact him. Cornelia told me the town he lived in, but
the operator had no listing for him. I called some other Robert Scotts in
the area, but none knew of him. I'm so sorry I never reached him.
His obit is online at the Everett, WA, Daily Herald, but the funeral
parlor's website contains not only the obit but also pictures of him and an
on-line guest book.

The message I left in the guestbook was not 100% accurate. His mother WAS
my 3rd cousin, that part's right, but I never met her. My sister met both
Elizabeth and her brother, Bill Jr. Upon more reflection, I remembered that
the person I met was Robert's grandmother, Myra, who visited my parents home
several times when I was a boy. Myra was elegant, and my sister says
Elizabeth and her brother were both good looking. Bill, Jr. died in service
in WW2.
