Mrs. Laurette Bixby Scott died at her home on Evans street, this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], Wednesday, Dec. 26, 1906. She was born near Bainbridge, where she practically always resided, July 20, 1821. She was one of two sisters in a family of six children, none of whom survive her except Miss Phebe Bixby who still resides in the home where she and Mrs. Scott had lived for some years. The subject of this sketch was married to Mr. Horace Scott thirty-six years ago last June, but their married life was comparatively brief, for Mr. Scott died about twenty-eight years ago. Mrs. Scott was a sister of the late Rev. William Bixby, a honored minister in this Wyoming Conference, and who was led to Christ, and to join the Methodist Episcopal church, and finally to enter the ministry largely through the influence of Mr. Charles Curtiss one of the founders of the Methodist society here. Sister Scott early united with the Methodist Episcopal church in Bainbridge and though she lived to the extreme age of nearly eighty-five years, was an active member tp the day of her death. For a few years past she was not able to be present at all the means of grace as regularly as in former years, yet was still much interested in all the work of the church. She was not only interested in the spiritual welfare of the church but was also a liberal giver toward every worthy cause brought to her attention. Mrs. Scott and sister who survives made several very substantial gifts to some of the most worthy benevolences of the M.E. Church a few years ago and though one of the aged members, perhaps few, if any, showed greater interest in the building of the new church than did she. What she did was done quietly, and, possibly, but few are aware how much she gave to this very important enterprise. Mrs. Scott was a rare personality. To know her was at once to admire and love her. Always quiet and unobstrusive, yet a positive influence for good went steadily out from her. She was a "bright and shining light," and many rejoiced that they had ever come to know her. She died with a firm faith in Him for whom she had lived.
Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare's past;
The battle's fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
The funeral was held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the M.E. Church, Rev. G.E. VanWoert, officiating. Besides the address by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Reid of Morris, a protégé of Mrs. Scott and her brother William, a waif who had been led in early life by them to enter the Christian field, to become a minister and enter upon mission work in foreign lands, this clergyman, who was regarded by Mrs. Scott as a son, gave an affecting history of the influence this saint like woman had upon his life. It was very impressive. The funeral was largely attended. The hymns the dexeased loved so well were sung by Messrs. Darlin, Wilcox, Bentley and Strong. The burial was in Green Lawn Cemetery [Bainbridge, NY] and the bearers were D.J. Hollenbeck, H.W Whitman, George W. Taylor, Dennis Payne, Melvin Yale and Perry Rood. Among those in attendance from out-of-town were the relatives, Charles Bixby of Syracuse, Mrs. Leroy Scott and two daughter, Nellie and Sopha, and son Howard, of Binghamton.
