DANIEL A. SCOTT is a farmer residing in Adams county, six miles southwest of
Ritzville, and was born in Rio, Columbia county, Wisconsin, March 31, 1869. He
was the son of Kennedy and Ann (Buchanan) Scott, the former a native of Ohio and
the latter of Paisley, Scotland. The mother came to the United States with her
parents in 1850 and located at Fort Winnebago, Wisconsin.
     Mr. Scott is a man of finished education. He taught school four years in
Wisconsin and came west in 1890 and entered the employ of his grandfather,
Daniel Buchanan, who was one of the earliest settlers and a business man of
Ritzville. In the spring of 1891 our subject purchased eight hundred and eighty
acres of Big Bend soil upon which he now lives. He has since added to his
original holdings until he now has eleven hundred and twenty acres all in one
body and all under cultivation. He has his land well improved and keeps an
abundance of live stock and farm implements to prosecute his business. In 1903
he erected a strictly modern ten-room house of white pressed brick, --- probably
the handsomest farm house in Adams county.
    In 1895 Daniel A. Scott was married to Alma King, daughter of J. H. and
Ellen S. (Grover) King, who crossed the plains by mule teams in 1880, locating
in Umatilla county, Oregon. To this union have been born three children, Nellie
L., Anna E., and Kennedy.
     Mr. Scott is a Republican in politics, and both he and Mrs. Scott belong to
the Congregational church. In fraternity circles, Mr. Scott is identified with
F. and A. M., the K. of P. and the K. O. T. M. Mrs. Scott also is a member of
the latter society.
