JOE SCOTT IS DEAD
-----
Passing of Veteran Near Atlanta, Who Served With Morgan
-----
Joseph Scott, aged 82, died last night at 6 o'clock at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Vincent VanBriggle, near Atlanta, death being due to
paralysis.
Mr. Scott was a native of Kentucky, being born in Owen county, May 12,
1839. His father was William Scott and his mother's maiden name was Osborn,
she being one of the pioneers of that part of Kentucky where he husband was
born. There were but three children in the Scott family, Joseph being the
last.
Thirty-nine years ago Mr. Scott and his family came to Tipton county and
settled nears Groomsville. His wife was Mary, daughter of Harvey and Celia
(Chapman) Smith and thirteen children were born to them, ten of them living,
the wife dying eight years ago. Since that time Mr. Scott had been living
with his children. The children surviving are H.P. Scott, of Rigdon, Grant
county, Wesley, Medaryville, Charles Scott, Lee, Ind., Ira Scott, Monon,
Mrs. Clarence Farr, of Boswell, Mrs. Lewis Coy, of Boswell, Mrs. Halen
Sharp, of Rainsville, Ind., Mrs. Ralph Fletcher, of Veedersburg, Mrs. James
Camm, of Marion, Ohio, and Mrs. Vincent VanBriggle, of near Atlanta, at
whose home the father died. The deceased children are John Scott, who died
two years ago, meeting a tragic death in the Wabash river, near Rockville,
Mrs. Henry Goodwin, and William. All of the thirteen children lived to
mature age.
Mr. Scott was born and reared in that section of Kentucky which was badly
divided during the war, there being members of many families that sent sons
into the armies of both north and south. Mr. Scott cast his lot with the
armies of Lee and fought under the banner of General John Morgan. It being
a notable fact that a goodly portion of the men who followed that dashing
commander came from Owen and adjoining counties in Kentucky.
The funeral arrangements had not been completed this aftenoon<sic> when
