Bio
Death of Wm. Scott Wm. Scott died at the family home at Donna, Texas, is the Rio Grande Valley last Saturday, Nov. 17. The body was brought to the old San Saba home for burial and was interred Monday afternoon. Funeral services were conducted at the Church of Christ by Elder J. T. Whitt. After the religious services were conducted the body was taken in charge by the Masons and buried with the rites and honors of the fraternity. The floral offering was one of the prettiest and most gorgeous ever seen and spoke of the tender, loving hearts that beat in love for his memory and in sympathy with the sorrowing family. Deceased was a native of Missouri and came to Texas when quite small, the family first settling in North Texas. He was born April 8, 1850, and was past his 73rd birthday. He came to this county in January 1902, and lived until 1919 when he went to Arizona and from there back to the Rio Grande valley. His was an eventful and useful life. His best loved work was the church, where he was always at his place and working. His was not a formal religion, but an every day religion. For many years he was an Elder and enjoyed his Bible and the ordinances of his church. It is possibly here that he was at his best. He was honored by his fellow citizens in many ways during his life. He was county treasurer of Grayson County for three terms and when the Farmers Alliance was in flower he was a popular speaker and worker for the principles of the Alliance and was for a number of years superintendent and manager for the big milling company at Sherman. He was a democrat of the old school and took an active interest in the party organization. For a number of years he was a member of the school board of the San Saba Independent district and was always one of the workers of the board for the upbuilding of the school. Wm. Scott was never found disinterested in anything that had for its object the betterment of the community and the progress of the county. In his friendships he was true as steel and in his dealing with his fellow man he was alike generous and unselfish. When this country was drawn into the world war he was appointed chairman of the county selective draft board and served with distinction and conscientious ability. He was a good man, an affectionate husband, a generous father and a useful citizen, loved and respected by those who knew him best. Source: San Saba News San Saba, Texas Nov. 22, 1923 p. 8
