*Obituary
Fayetteville Democrat
Thursday, April 30, 1914

Mr. William Scott – This well known and highly respected citizen died this morning at an early hour in the home of his daughter, Mrs. White, near Farmington. He had been in declining health for a long time. While his death is a shock to his family and friends it was no surprise.

His home was at Carthage, Missouri when the Civil War began. He enlisted in the Confederate Army and his company was assigned to the regiment commanded by the late Col. J.L. Cravens, who graduated at West Point in the class of Gen. John H. Hood and Gen. Phil Sheridan. His brigade was commanded by Gen. James S. Raines, who was one of his neighbors. After peace was made Mr. Scott came to Arkansas and located on a farm near Double Springs. This was his home for many years.

He was a quiet Christian gentleman who had many friends and no enemies. He leaves a widow and a large family of worthy sons and daughters. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at two o’clock at Mount Comfort.
