George Edward Scott died at the home of his sister, Sarah Martha
McBride in Freedom, IN.
Pa Scott as he was called by family members helped to built the
Old Freedom Bridge....the Wooden part..it no longer stands...it
was replaced by a steel beam bridge....I have an oil painting
that has a picture of that bridge....it was a gift to Clara Scott
Skinner , my Grandmother.
Pa Scott was a farmer, a stone mason, and a carpenter by
trade. I believe the last job he held was that of a Janitor
at School.

was a member.....His funeral was Wed. July 30,1941 at 2:30 P.M.

Notes for Caroline Rednour:
Obituary:
Caroline Scott was born Oct. 14, 1859 near Freedom, Ind., and
departed this life July 13, 1928, age 68 yrs. 8 months and 29
days. She was the daughter of Catherine and Noah H.
Rednour. She was the fifth of a family of six children,
Willie, Henry and Lemuel having preceded her in death. Two
sisters survive, Martha Jane Hayden living near here and Mary
Frances Dyar of Spencer. She united with the M.E. Church at
Freedom, Ind., at the age of fourteen and has ever remained
faithful to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
She was united in marriage to George Scott on April 15,
1880. To this union were born five children, Clara Skinner
of Spencer, Ora Brewster of Freedom. Fletcher who also
preceded her in death. Ray of Bicknell and Mary Powell of
Freedom.
She has passed on to reap her reward leaving to mourn her
departure the heartbroken husband four children, eighteen
grandchildren, two sisters and a host of friends.
Her death came as a great shock. She was a well as usual
Thursday. She spent most of the day hoeing in the garden
going to her daughters for the noonday meal. She prepared
supper as usual showing her constant thought of others by sending
her neighbor's supper to her. About two o'clock her husband
was awakened and soon after she passed into the Great Beyond
where pain and suffering are no more.
She was a kind and loving mother exceptionally considerate of
everyone. She was always employed at something and trying
to do something for some one else. Her self sacrifice was
continuous.
When her own children had grown to maturity and made homes of
their own she did not settle down in self complacency thinking
her work complete. Instead she began mothering her
grandchildren until they feel as if they have lost a mother
indeed. She was always trying to carry someone elses
burdens despite the terrible affliction she has borne patiently
for years. Nothing we can ever do can fully repay the love
she shed abroad in our lives except to walk the way she taught us
and meet her at heaven's gate Wearing the smile she brot us.
It singeth low in every heart, We hear it each and all, A song of
those who answer not, However we may call, They throng the
silence of the breast We see them as of yore, The kind, the
Brave, the true, the sweet, Who walk with us no more. I
know thou art gone to the home of the rest, Then why should
my soul be so sad I know thou art gone where the weary are blest,
and the mourner looks up ad is glad: I know thou has drank
of the Lethe that flows. In a land where they do not forget
That sheds over memory only repose and takes from it only regret.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank all of those who assisted in
anyway during the sickness and death of our loved one, especially
the pastor for his consoling words, Mr. and Mrs. West and to all
those who sent flowers for they mean so much in a sad hour.
Mr. George Scott and children.
