Delphi Journal: The death of Thomas H. Scott, which occurred at his home in South Delphi at 10:30 Monday morning, was a surprise to many of his friends and acquaintances, as his real condition was not generally known. Mr. Scott has not been in vigorous health for several years but it was not until a few weeks ago that his condition became such as to excite the apprehensions of the family.
Mr. Scott was born in Shelbyville, Kentucky, January 31, 1824, and in 1842 he was married to Mary A. Miller. To them two children were born, Mrs. Neal, of Montmorenci, and David Scott, of Colburn. In 1883 Mr. Scott was united in marriage to Mrs. Ella A. Culler, his first wife having died two years before.
Three children came to bless this union all of whom survive. At the age of twenty-two, Mr. Scott united with the Christian Church in Crawfordsville.
The most active years of Mr. Scott’s life were spent in the livery stable business in Crawfordsville. In his early business life he met with marked success financially and was one of the most substantial citizens of that city. Of recent years he has been engaged in building contracting. He has been unfortunate in a number of enterprises which crippled him financially, and undoubtedly hastened his death. He was a man of integrity and uprightness and did by his fellowmen as he desired to be done by.
The funeral services were conducted from the family residence yesterday afternoon by Rev. VanCleave. The remains were interred at Colburn. Among those who attended the funeral were William H. Scott, and Jefferson Scott, brothers; and Mrs. Wasson, sister of the deceased, from Crawfordsville.
