DAILY REVEILLE

AUSTIN, NEVADA.

FRIDAY..........APRIL 27, 1883

DEATH OF M. B. SCOTT.

Dr. M. B. Scott died last evening at his residence in this city. He was a native of Pennsylvania, and was aged about 41 years. He leaves a wife and daughter, who are now in Iowa, where they have been residing for about two years past.

Deceased came to Austin from Missouri in 1874 with his family, and for some time was Principal of the public school. After this he engaged in the practice of his profession. He was a physician of more than ordinary ability and would have had a lucrative practice has he resisted a weakness which seemed to be more than he was able to do, and he gradually became incapacitated for his profession. He lingered along for some time in this condition, until last evening the spirit of a naturally kind-hearted useful man took its flight to the unknown beyond. Whatever may have been his shortcomings in the past few years, let us, as friends and citizens, shed sorrowful tears over the grave of one that we knew to be of noble instincts, and in our hearts deeply regret the sad affair.

The funeral of the deceased took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon, from his late residence on Union street. The remains were accompanied to the cemetery by the Masonic Order. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. M. Warrington, pastor of the Methodist Church.
