George Wilson Scott ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8}

  General Notes:

George Wilson Scott was born on his grandfather's farm, up the creek from the stone bridge, Guernsey County, Ohio. When four years of age he became lame and was compelled to use crutches until twenty years old. He lived with his parents in Cambridge and near Washington, Ohio, until October, 1856. The family then moved to Keokuk County, Iowa. After he married he lived on a farm in Wapello County, Iowa, until 1875, when he moved to a farm in Green County, Iowa, and lived there until 1892, when he moved to Hedrick, Keokuk County, Iowa. In 1903 he moved to Des Moines, Iowa, and resided at No. 1123 Twenty-fourth Street--a retired farmer's life. No children were born to them but they adopted two boys, whom they have blessed and who have been a comfort and blessing to them.
