Mrs. Scotts sudden death was a shock to the community. Relatives were visiting with her at her home Sunday evening, when she complained of not feeling well. They called a doctor and ambulance, and she died enroute to the hospital.

Mrs. Scott was born in Fairfield township, Palo Alto county, June 9, 1901, the daughter of Martin and Emma Iverson Johnson. She was a life long resident of Palo Alto county and lived in Emmetsburg 22 years. She married Dr. Lisle C. Scott April 15, 1948. Dr. Scott died Nov. 11, 1957.

Mrs. Scott is survived by a cousin, Mrs. Francis Brennan, and also relatives of the late Dr. Scott, including Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kerber, Mrs. E.J. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Kerber, and Mr. and Mrs. John Kerber.

Mrs. Scott was prominent in the Garden club and one of its most gifted members. A lover of flowers, her attractive home on Madison street was noted for roses and many other varieties of plants, for her garden was one of the best in the city.

She was active in the flower shows, and generous with her flowers. She enjoyed travel and before Dr. Scott's death made many trips to the south and other parts of the country. Her death will be regretted by many.
