OBITUARY
Mrs. Lavinia SCOTT was born in Findlay, Ohio, August 14, 1841 and fell a sleep in death April 21, 1929, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. H. SACKETT of Naperville, aged 87 years, 8 months and 8 days. Up until a week before her death she had enjoyed reasonable health for her years, when the desease known as portal thrombosis laid hold of her and death was the result.
On the 7th of September, 1859, in the very beginning of young womanhood, Miss Lavinia KEEL entered into the marriage relation with J. E. SCOTT at Princeton, Ill. The fruitage of this union was seven children: Mrs. R. H. SACKETT of Naperville, Mrs. O. A. WALKER of Omaha, Neb., Mrs. Mary STICKEL and Mr. Frank H. SCOTT of Tampico, Mrs. R. E. ANDERSON of Chicago, and two who preceded her in death, Mrs. John CLARY and Mrs. Wm. SCOTT.
For a short time she resided with her husband in LaClaire, Ia., then at Dover, Ill., after which the family moved to Sterling and later to Tampico, where since Mr. SCOTT’s death she had resided with her son Frank, except the short period before her death when she was a member of her daughter’s household. Two sisters, residing at Princeton, survive her. They are Mrs. Elizabeth CODDINTON, and Mrs. Ed NICHOLS.
