I've "rescued" an old photograph of Lester SCOTT of Alger, Ohio which was
taken in Ada, Ohio in May 1915. Lester appears to be about 5 years old at
the time. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following
information regarding Lester and his family as follows:
Lester Gerald SCOTT was b. 10 Mar 1909 in Alger, OH to parents Earl Garfield
SCOTT (1881-1974) and Nora Augusta SHELLER (1887-1951). Lester was one of
three children born to this couple including siblings, Edna Izora SCOTT b.
1907 in Hardin Co. OH and Lloyd P. SCOTT b. 1918.
Lester married Mary Veldren GUYTON (b. 3 Jan 1910 in Hardin Co. OH) and
together they had 3 children including, twins James Bernard and John Guyton
SCOTT b. 5 Oct 1946 in Brown City, MI. Lester died 14 Oct 1986 in Minden,
NV and is buried in Brown City, MI in the Evergreen Cemetery.

can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family,
or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
