This disposition, she retained and cultivated during her entire life. At the age of 17 she was united in marriage to Charles Scott (error- Peter Scott). To this union was born seven children, one daughter Pearl, who died at the tender age of 11 (months), the others having grown to woman and manhood. On August 24, 1930, she was stricken with apoplexy, but rallied from the first attack only to succumb to the second, which occurred on Sunday morning June 8th, and from which she never recovered, but steadily grew weaker, until 9:30 o’clock Friday morning June 13, her spirit took its flight, leaving the “outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea”. She leaves to mourn her loss five daughters and one son; Mrs. Frank Allison, Mrs. Maude Hartman; Mrs. Ruth Chiarenza; Mrs. Mabel Martin of Chicago; Mrs. Hazel Morrow of Canada, and Olin Scott of Richmond and five grandchildren. (poem inserted here) Funeral services were held at the Allison home Sunday afternoon. Reverend McCormick officiating. Burial was in Riverside Cemetery.
