This town at that time was a major point of commerce, with stores, river with bridge, railroad, and an amusement park. His name appears as signature to a roll of prisoners of War paroled at Fort Norfolk, Virginia, 29 June 1863, place not stated. The company muster roll for July and August of 1864, dated 20 Nov 1864, last on file, shows him present returned to duty 10 Nov 1864. He was surrendered by General Robert E. Lee, 1865. My grandmother told me he could never sleep with a blanket on his feet because they had been frozen during the military events while in the field during the Civil War. He was a drummer boy when he entered the Confederate Army during the Civil War. (note by Melvin Scott Jr.)

He met his wife Dora Fonde while she was attending college at Montevallo, Alabama. He was working as a bank teller. They married on the 24 Jan 1900 in Mobile, Alabama. It is thought that they were married at the home of her parents, Henry and Lula Fonde, on Dauphane Street. He was employed by Bush Grocery, a wholesale distributor, as a bookkeeper for many years until this company went out of business. Later he worked for Vedsol Company, a material/clothing organization. In his later years, he worked about 10 years for the Juvenile Court of Mobile as a clerk.
He loved oysters with biscuits and molasses for breakfast. He was a kind, warm person and I felt comfortable with him even as a young boy of 2 to 4 years old. When he died, I remember my mother receiving the telephone call upon his death. She was very sad. This was my first experience with death, but it was long distance. With Grandfather Scott, I could see him. (Note from Melvin Scott Jr.)
