Notes
General:
My mother knew her as Grandma Scott. Her grave in the Hot Springs Cemetery was probably marked by a field stone of some sort. I have heard the story from my mother that Grandma Scott's daughter Mary Jane Weaver in the later years of her life felt sad and troubled by the fact that she could not remember the location in the cemetery where her mother was buried.
