William Harvey Scott
Fitting tribute to the memory of the late William Harvey Scott was paid at his funeral on Thursday Nov 5th, by a large number of sorrowing friends and relatives.
Mr Scott had been in apparent good health until 10 days before his death when he suffered a heavy stroke from which he did not rally. He passed away on Tuesday, Nov 3rd, in the Rosamond Memorial Hospital. He was in his 72nd year.
Born in Ramsay Township in Union Hall district, Mr Scott was a son of the late William Henry Scott and his wife, Rachel Evans. When he was 10 years of age, the family moved to the farm near Almonte now owned by Ernest Robertson. A short time later they moved to town.
As a young man, he entered the employ of the Rosamond Woolen Company where he served for many years as an overseer of the Warping and Winding Department.
In 1907, he married Miss Mary E. Davis of Almonte who survives with tow sons, Harvey Arthur and Edward Davis, and one grandson, David Scott. A son, Kenneth Bethune, predeceased him at the age of 18 years. He also leaves two sisters, Ila, Mrs Herbert Coxford, of Almonte and Bessie, Mrs Geo Van Iderstine of Saskatoon; and one brother, James Scott of Melville, Sask.
Mr. Scott was a quiet, kindly man who was popular with a large circle of friends. He loved the outdoors and derived great pleasure from his frequent fishing trips to White Lake.
He was a member of Almonte United Church
The Rev J. Ray Anderson officiated at the service which was held at his home, Malcolm Street, Almonte.
The pallbearers were Messrs Chas Houston, Louis Peterson, Harold Prescott, Geo Pretty, Wm Munro and Walter Morton.
Among the beautiful floral tributes were wreaths from the employees of the Rosamond Woolen Company and Carleton Wholesale Limited.
Internment was in the Auld Kirk Cemetery.
