HOT SPRINGS -Agnes Jane (Harris) Scott was born Aug. 4, 1913, on a farm near Berea, Neb., the 10th of 11 children born to Abigail (Kennedy) Harris and Oscar Harris. The family lived on several farms as Oscar worked for the farmers in and around Berea, and farmed on his own. Agnes lived with her family one place in a sod house. She said it was cool in the summer and warm in winter as people said.
After finishing grade school in and around Berea, she went to Hemingford to go to high school. There she met LaVerne Scott. After she graduated she taught a country school for one year but didn't enjoy it.
June 15, 1932, was their wedding day. That was the middle of the Depression. Laverne was a section foreman on the railroad and did a lot of relief work for other section foreman. They lived in several places in South Dakota and Nebraska before Brownie got his section. Later the couple lived in Provo, Marsland and then Edgemont.
During this time Agness was homemaker for a husband and two boys, Richard and Wayne. Mary came along five years later and Joan, four years after Mary. With a full family, they moved to Edgemont in 1947, where they remained the rest of their lives until moving to a nursing home.
Agnes, to help her kids go to a Christian boarding school, took on many jobs. She was cook at the sale barn, baked bread for customers, sewed, did child care in her home and other jobs. She was very involved in her church, the Hot Springs Seventh-day Adventist Church, holding several important positions there and also in Home Extension Club. Both of the scotts were active in Senior Center. Her girls were especially lucky as she sewed almost all of their clothes. She also gardened and canned the produce she bought or the family raised.
As their children grew up and married, Agnes and Brownie traveled throughout the U.S. and the Black Hills. Camping in several places, they enjoyed the scenery and local history. They reached 49 of the 50 states, missing only Hawaii. They also visited Mexico and Canada. There were nine gradchildren and 13 great-grandchildren to go see.
They had been married 73 years when Brownie passed away at Castle Manor. Agnes followed him four years later on Dec. 15, 2009, at the age of 96. Her helpful, kind life ended peacefully and now she waits her Lord's return for her final reward.
Survivors include sons, Wayne (Sharon) Scott of Peoria, Ariz., and Richard (Charlene) Scott of McDonald, Tenn.; daughters, Mary (Rod) Jewett of Edgemont, and Joan (Dick) Ryan of Las Vegas, Nev.; nine gradchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.
