Well Known Drover Passes Away Suddenly in Galt on Saturday, Galt, July 5.

John Scott is dead, the bluff, genial, big-hearted, honest-souled drover whom everybody knew, admired and respected. There is not another citizen in Galt whose sudden taking off would have occasioned more surprise and profound regret. He has been a conspicuous figure in the history of Galt, for over half a century. A man who exemplified all those sterling characteristics of the sturdy race, from which he sprang, his name will always be prominently and honorably associated with the growth and progress of the town of which he was an ostentatious but public spirited and most exemplary citizen. Any office in the gift of his fellow citizens could have been, John Scott's, but he held himself apart from public life, but always in his quiet but practical way contributed to those enterprises, private as well as public, which have made for the growth of the town. The opera house block, the telephone block and other of Galt's conspicuous buildings are conspicuous to Mr. Scott's progressive public spirited and the pluck he manifested in promoting the best interests of the community. He was best known, however, to the outside world, as a representative horseman and cattle dealer. His name as a breeder and buyer was very familiar throughout this western section and wherever it was known it was a synonym for honesty and probity. Mr. Scott 's death occurred suddenly last night. He was taken with a fainting spell while in one of the stores and in a half an hour after being removed to his residence, passed away. Up to the time of his seizure he was in his usual robust health. Despite his 77 years, Mr. Scott was well preserved, active and able to attend to business. A native of Hawich, Scotland, he came to Galt, when a boy of nine and has resided here continuously ever since. He was an ardent Conservative and for years has been honorary president of the South Waterloo Liberal-Conservative Association, which appreciated his in valuable party services and delighted to do him honor. A family of eight survive. The funeral is set for Tuesday, at 2.

Notes:

With feelings of great regret we announce to our readers this week the death of Mr. David Scott, which took place at the residence of Mr. David Harris, Preston, on Saturday last. The deceased was long a resident of this locality, having emigrated, with his family to Galt in the year 1839. Shortly after arriving here he went into the employ of the late A. Shade, having charge of the farm now owned by the Messrs. Brydon, Blair Road. He continued in Mr. Shade's employ for many years having for some time charge of the farm now owned by Mr. Wm. Smith. After Mr. Shade's death Mr. Scott took the farm owned by the Gouinlock Estate where he resided until a few years ago. Up to the time of his death, even though aged nearly 92 years, the deceased retained all his faculties and was able to read a newspaper easily without the aid of glasses. Mr. Scott was the father of Mr. John Scott, of Galt, Mr. Gideon Scott, Mrs. Sibbald, of Owen Sound, Mrs. Wm. Hood, of Guelph and Mr. Walter Scott, of Galt. He was a temperate, hard-working man and to his connect life can no doubt be traced the extreme age to which he lived.
