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.

Pa's funeral was held at the Freedom Baptist Church of which he 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.
