C. W. SCOTT, farmer, Rutan, Penn., was born December 16, 1837, on the

residents of Greene County until their death. Mrs. Scott departed this
life in 1856, and her husband lost his life in a collision on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, near Columbus, Ohio, October 6, 1860. They
were the parents of four children. On October 6, 1859, C. W. Scott was

WEBSTER, also natives of this county. Mr. Webster died in 1871 and Mrs.
Webster in 1874. To Mr. and Mrs. Scott have been born five children,
