Daniel Houston Scott, aged sixty-nine years, and a resident of Iola for over thirty years, died last night at six o’clock at his home, 433 South Jefferson avenue, after an illness extending over two weeks. Mr. Scott has been in poor health for some time but his condition had become serious only very recently. He is survived by his wife and the following children: James Winfield, of Coffeyville; May L. and Lottie Alice, of Blackfoot, Idaho; Anna M. of Whittier, Calif.; William H., Bertha, and Ruby. The funeral arrangements await the arrival of the two daughters from Blackfoot, Idaho, and it probably cannot be held until Sunday, at the earliest.

Daniel Houston Scott, whose residence here has been extended over upwards of thirty years, was born in Blunt County, Tenn., November 21, 1842. * * * At the age of twelve years Houston Scott went with his parents to Sullivan County, Missouri, and was limitedly schooled in the rural schools. He was a resident of that county until a year after the Civil War. He was married in 1865 to Hannah M. a daughter of John G. Anderson, who moved from Kentucky to Ripley County, Ohio, resided there some years, and continued his journey westward to Livingston County, Illinois, moving later to Linn County, Mo. Mr. Scott settled temporarily in Bourbon County upon his advent to Kansas. He entered Allen County in 1874, and three years later came to Iola. He was essentially a farmer up to the date of his location in this city since which time he has been engaged as a mechanic.

Mr. Scott was one of the well known Grand Army men of Allen County. November 2, 1861, he enlisted in Company A, Twenty-Third Missouri Infantry which regiment was a part of Sherman’s army. At the battle of Shiloh, Mr. Scott was taken prisoner. He was in the rebel prisons at Montgomery, Ala., and at Macon, Ga., seven and a half months when he was exchanged. He reached his regiment again December 25th, and served with it until December 30, 1864, when he was mustered out at Savannah, Ga. He was in the battles of Lovejoy Station, Peachtree Creek, Resaca, Kennesaw Mountain, Atlanta and Snakehead Gap.
