Scott, Hugh; Pvt. Co.C, 84th Reg. Indiana Infantry. Died in service at Nashville of smallpox
       3-10-1865.  Buried at Shiloh Cemetery.      Grave Marker

       "With the many responsibilities of a family, Hugh Scott remained at home during the first year,
       but when the heavy calls for volunteers came, in the summer of 1862, he enlisted on 
       August 9 of that year in the Eighty- fourth Regiment of Indiana Infantry. Much hard fighting
       and many campaigns did he participate in, but it was not the bullets of an enemy which brought his death. 
       The fatal disease of smallpox again and again attacked the armies on both sides, and after one scourge
       he was vaccinated and returned home for a furlough, and finally got well. 
       He then returned to the army, though unfit for service, and at Nashville contracted the most virulent
       form of the disease, and died while in the hospital, March 10, 1865, just as the war was
       entering its final stage."
