>John M. Scott is 21 years of age today; 7 A.M. Today he is making $75.00
per
>month, working for L&N, Private Secretary & Stenographer to the President's
>Assistant & Private Secretary, Mr. Payton. Went to C. C. this A.M. Visited
>Louis Bransford's baby, left there at 9:15 P.M., got home at 10:30 P.M.

>My comments:
>While I have no "proof", that is census data etc., I am quite positive that
>John M. Scott is the son of Nancy Willis Scott and George Scott of
>Louisville. Nancy, as you will recall, was the younger sister of Mary Jane
>"Peggie" Willis-Evans-Godbey, the doctor's wife. In 1912, this would have
>been a terrific job, at a great salary, for a man of these young years. I
>know that all the family must have been proud of him. I have, in the past,
>tried to search KY Vital Records Index for him, and found several John
Scotts
>but none in Louisville that I could identify as him. It would be quite
>interesting to find his employment records, if they still exist, and follow
>his career. Wonder if there is a L&N museum somewhere, the old Headquarters
>building at 10th and Broadway, perhaps?
