Harrison, Dec. 10 – As the sun was setting on Friday Afternoon, Dec. 5, 1902, the death messenger entered the home of Cyrus Scott with a summons for the loved wife and mother, Mrs. Mary Wishop Scott, who had been ill a week. The husband, daughter, sons, sisters and brothers, were all at her bedside to bid her the final good-bye as her spirit passed away.
Mrs. Scott was born at Liberty Corner, Middlesex county, N.J., Sept. 27, 1844. She came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Wishop, to Illinois in 1856, and has continued a resident of the state since that time, excepting eight years spent in Iowa. She was married to Cyrus Scott Dec. 2, 1865, at Beloit, Wis. To them were born five children, four sons and one daughter, Mrs. Clayton Reber. One son died in in infancy. Willie passed away Feb. 13, 1899. Sam resides in Owen and Howard in Shirland. Besides her husband and three children she leaves two nephews and two nieces to whom she extended a mother's care for many years. Two brothers, Andrew and John Wishop; two sisters, Mrs. Belle Harper and Mrs. Mattie Armstrong, besides many other nephews and nieces and four grandchildren also survive. While yet a young girl she lost her mother, and being the eldest in the family, for some time took charge of her father's house and the care of her brothers and sisters. Much of her life has been one of loving care for motherless ones and she always did her duty well. "She, the gentle, patient mother, Has entered her eternal rest."
The funeral services were held from the home on Monday at 11 a.m. and were very largely attended. Rev. Baldwin gave an eloquent talk on the nobility of motherhood, which was especially appropriate to the occasion. A quartet consisting of Mrs. Helen Jewett, Mr. and Mrs. Marston and Rev. Baldwin rendered fitting selections. Miss Blanche Moffatt presided at the Organ. The floral offerings were beautiful. Mr. Houston of Beloit had charge of the funeral arrangements; the interment was in the Burritt cemetery, beside the remains of her son Willie. The grave was beautifully lined with evergreen and chrysanthemums. The love of flowers was a strong characteristic of the departed one.
