Death of Alexander Scott
  
  Our information is to the effect that he retired to rest as 
  usual on Wednesday evening, the  23rd, in good health. The  
  early morning found him a  corpse, his weary spirit having  
  taken its  flight  without a  struggle.  His  remains were  
  committed to mother earth on Friday following. At the time  
  of his death he was a resident of White county, where he had 
  been living with a son in the vicinity of Norway.
  
  Mr. Scott  was born  on the  1st day  of August,  1792, we  
  believe in the State of Kentucky.  From thence in an early  
  day he came to  Indiana, and settled  in Wayne county near  
  Richmond. In the spring of 1827,  he with his brother John  
  came to Cass county by the way of Mississinawa county. They 
  settled on the farm known as the Giles Thrower farm. Having 
  planted a crop of  corn and laid it  by, they returned and  
  brought their families. Subsequently he  moved to the west  
  part of the county and thence to White county.
  
  Father Scott was long a  faithful and consistent Christian  
  minister, exemplifying his religion by  his daily walk. he  
  and his brother were perhaps the first Christian ministers  
  who delivered their messages in Cass county.
