T. W. Scott, son of T. J. Scott, whose sketch appears above, was born in Cole County in 1889, and his early life was spent in the common schools and on his father’s farm. When ten years of age he entered the Spring Garden Seminary, remaining there four years, after which he was in partnership with C. E. Moon at Spring Garden, and also clerked in the store of Scott & Chambers, at Russellville, a short time only. He then attended school at Sedalia for some time; then back to the farm at home for two years. Since April, 1888, he has been in partnership with his father, and is doing a prosperous business, having complete control of the establishment. He is energetic and enterprising, and will undoubtedly rank among the leading merchants of this section.
