UNITY R. SCOTT.

August 31, in the 79th year of her age, Sister Unity R. Scott. Mother
Scott, as she was familiarly called, was born in North Carolina.  In
early childhood she moved with her parents to Ohio. She was married at
Eaton, in her twenty-first year, to Bro. Alex. Scott. They settled in
Indiana -- first in Wayne county, subsequently in Cass county, near
Logansport; finally located near the present village of Burnettsville,
which was their home nearly forty years.  Seven years ago they removed
to the home of their oldest son, Dr. C. Scott, near Monticello, where
they were at the time of her death.

She was reared a Presbyterian; but in early womanhood united with the
Christian connection.  Soon after her marriage she and Father Scott
embraced the principles of the Disciples. In their house the Church of
Christ of this place was organized nearly forty years ago. Mother
Scott was a close student of the Bible, and a clear thinker; and
though reticent in public, in the home and social circle she was an
able defender of Bible truth. Many have learned from her the way of
life more perfectly. Her faith was serene and beautiful to the end.

Father Scott, who is now in his eighty-seventh year, is growing
deaf. When she became to weak to make him hear, she said to her
daughter, "Tell father to wait until we get to heaven, and then we can
talk."  She leaves her aged companion, a daughter, five sons and many
grandchildren to mourn her loss. A daughter and two sons preceded her
to the other shore. "She rests from her labors, and her works do
follow her."
