Mrs. Evelyn Appleby Scott Died, while visiting in Gainesville, Ga., July 11th, 1893. Mrs. Evelyn (Appleby) Scott, relict of the late Rt. Rev. Thos. F. Scott, Bishop of Oregon, in the 82nd year of her age. Evelyn Scott was born in Jackson county, Ga., in December, 1812. The Rev. Thos. F. Scott, then a Presbyterian minister near Pendergrass, of that county, there made her acquaintance, and on November 20th, 1830 they were united in marriage. From the date of marriage her residence was that of her distinguished husband, and from the time he received the Orders of the Church in Huntsville, in 1843, she gave the faith of his final choice the devotion of her heart and life. During 1854 the Rev. Thos. F. Scott was elected missionary bishop of the jurisdiction of Oregon and Washington Territory, and for thirteen years her residence was changed to the Pacific seaboard. Returning thence in 1867, the year of her husband's death, she sought the rural home of her youth and remained among the scenes of her childhood until called to pass through death to life eternal. A few days before her last sickness she visited Gainesville, Ga., was taken desperately ill, and on the evening of Tuesday, July 11th, 1893, passed peacefully away. It is rare in the history of men that we behold the life of heaven so beautifully exemplified on earth. It may be truly said that long before she passed into the "golden city" she had enjoyed its sweetness, its joy and its light. Her life was a quiet wonder to those around her. The benediction of the "peace which passeth all understanding" seemed to surround her daily walk. The Rev. Wm. M. Waltoin, Arch-deacon of Atlanta, officiated at her burial service at Grace church, Gainesville, on Wednesday, July 12th, and again at the Baptist house of worship, Pendergrass, on Thursday, July 13th, delivering an appropriate discourse by special request to a large congregation composed of the entire population of the neighborhood. Her remains were interred in the cemetery near her home. Transcribed from a clipping pasted in a Merck/Wing scrapbook; no dates visible.
