Dr. John M. Scott

John M. Scott received his primary education in an old log schoolhouse in Indiana County, supplementing it with a course of study at Homer City Academy, and finally graduating from the Medical College at Columbus, Ohio. He first engaged in the practice of his profession at Livermore, Pennsylvania, where he was associated for two years with Dr. Banks, at the end of which period he came to Cabot, where he has since been located and where he enjoys the confidence and esteem of an extensive circle of friends and patrons.

September 26, 1872, Dr. Scott was joined in the holy bonds of wedlock with Agnes M. Black, a daughter of Col. John A. and Margaret (Kerr) Black. Into their household were born five children: Mary J., wife of Dr. 0. Q. Crawsham, a dentist, who has had two children — George S. (deceased) and Jackson 0.; Viola, who is the wife of E. M. Craig of Oakmont, Pennsylvania, and has three children — Robert, Isabelle, and Virginia Scott; John B., a graduate of the dental department of the Western University, who is engaged in the practice of his profession in the village of Cabot; Helen Carrie, who is residing at home; and James Willis, who is at present a student.

Dr. Scott and his estimable wife reside in a commodious two-story brick residence in the village of Cabot and are prominently identified with the social affairs of that city. Dr. Scott is a member of the Presbyterian Church of Buffalo.
